In that same shallowness, The sewer dweller in Aso Rock believes he has the knife and the roasted yam tuber to feed her people. This impoverished, morally bankrupt monarch of the savannah is ready to slice away: Therefore, one can only eat when one receives a slice of yam from him. ― Don Okolo IF YOU HAVE TEARS, PREPARE TO SHED THEM NOW.

Indeed, I believed and hoped that our current president—with so much energy and the many years spent persistently lobbying for another opportunity to govern Nigeria—would embark upon a titanic legacy of progress, reconciliation, and harmony in Nigeria as President Jonathan did in 2015, and as Lincoln did with the abolishment of slavery more than a century and a half ago in the United States. —Dr. I.

Like other crimes that go unreported, rape is almost unreported to formal agencies of social control in Nigeria due to trust gap, associated stigma against victims, fear of re-victimization, cultural barrier, religious sentiments, and powerlessness of the victims in the pursuit of justice. ──Blessing Williams  Many would not have thought that the outbreak of coronavirus (COVID-19) in China in December 2019 and its subsequent global spread would have devastating effects on the already worsened gender-based...

Like we all know, one of the functions of the National Assembly include the making of laws, the controlling of the finances of the State, and also a critical role to check the actions of government. However, as it stands, history will judge you leaders and members for not being proactive in directing our economy towards enhancing its innate capacity of attaining self-sufficiency, the ultimate safety valve for debt dependence. So, Mr. Senate  President and...

All Nigerians should be vexed about the killings that have befallen the northeastern region of Nigeria and which have also penetrated other areas of the Nigerian federation.  In a series of papers presented at the NISEC Homeland Security Conference 2014, I discussed my ideas on how to combat terrorism in Nigeria.  Israeli experts and other scholars and security specialists also enunciated their own counter-terrorism initiatives in Abuja. On this subject, today, the data—as depicted by...

Changing “Democracy Day” from May 29 to June 12 is of little significance if Nigerians are unsafe, taunted by government agents and by criminals. As Nigeria marks its twenty-one years of unbroken democracy, a closer look at specifics has become altogether unavoidable. In the light of Nigeria’s penchant for wild claims and increasing proclivity for self-congratulation even for doing nothing except maintain status quo, it has become imperative that the country’s democratic experiment over these...

I took to remembering Candace Owens, the activist, on this period of our present time that would be recalled infamously until the end of days. Madam Candace, as I have chosen to call her, walked into my dream brandishing a six-foot long two-by-four, staring at me through a pair of red listless eyes, because her lower face was under the cover of a covid-19 mask of a she-tiger brand.

May 30, 2019 marks the 53rd anniversary of the declaration of the Republic of Biafra. For the sake of a younger generation that has not been taught Nigerian history, it is important to put some context to the emergence of Biafra.
