The internet has made it easy for people to connect by eliminating the effect of distance. It helps people in a long-distance relationship stay in touch; it also enhances business transaction both local and internationally. It has made it easy to build a friendship with people we otherwise won’t have been able to.  It is sad and unfortunate that some… Read More

The Niger Delta Development Commission has been asphyxiated. It is out of oxygen. It now runs on the noxious gas of corruption; its usefulness outlived and outpaced by fraud and mindboggling moral and financial depravity. The agency is a convincing argument against the mushrooming of regional commissions which end up becoming cash machines of a few. What is happening in… Read More

When my friend and brother Tunde Osunmakinde said we will just have to keep watching this film that is Nigeria, I felt that deeply, I knew he had said that from a place of pain for a country he loves so much, best believe nothing else could have provoked such feeling of helplessness than a deep reflection of what has… Read More

Even sadness is saddened by this sad occurrence. The grim reaper has struck, leaving a trail of blood and unending tears. What a tragedy! A heart wrenching calamity in its cruelest form. For every sane mind, it is difficult not to be demoralized by this nightmarish reality. She is gone forever. Gone with the winds. Gone in suspicious and controversial… Read More

Medical doctors and most hospital workers in Ondo state for the past one month are on strike over the gross failures of the Governor Rotimi Akeredolu government to provide Personal Protective Equipments (PPE) and some other necessary needs for medical workers who are in the frontline during this pandemic.  We cannot be apologetically moved to keep analysing why a governor… Read More

You have told us that the Federal Government would not allow Nigerian pupils to join their counterparts in… Read More

Youths for Social And Political Change have observed with keen interest the unholy development in the presidency over the past few days, with Pantami, the Minister of Communications and Digital Economy being exposed by the investigative, journalistic prowess of SaharaReporters of fraud, which amounted to the minister buying houses for his three wives, houses he bluntly denied and asserted he… Read More

Nigeria is a country where irony comes to die. As Elnathan John, the author, regularly says, “You can’t write satire for Nigeria, the country will always top your creativity.” Thus it is that I feel a bit of deliciously hilarious irony when I see headlines about the man who illegally warmed the seat at the EFCC for a long time,… Read More

My late political father, Pa Abraham Adesanya, used to say, “When you point an accusing finger at someone, three of your fingers would point at you”. It’s now more than a week, since the dethronement of Ibrahim Mustapha Magu from the seat of the acting chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission. This was sequel to the memo written… Read More

Nigerian politicians are nothing but lousy, thieving looters. These looters are not constrained by shame, custom, or the will of their constituents. With unrestrained impunity, they just grab what they can and run with it. The sheer size of their looting makes it impossible for anyone to hold anyone accountable. Since President Muhammadu Buhari came to power in 2015, we… Read More
