This abuse of office by our leaders is what has led to Nigerian youths clamouring for the opportunity to govern and to have a voice in the state of affairs of the nation seeing as the present class of political office holders have not done anything to create a stable economic society.

I must note that till date, not a single formal complaint on this matter has been received by the Commission.
No matter what you say or write about these corrupt politicians, some ignoramuses will still swear by their spotless purity and defend the lechers with their lives. The ongoing Dino’s self-inflicted moral and political quagmire is a very good example of how, in Nigeria, we all ship into different convenient cages, be it political, religious or tribal with inimitable blind loyalty
Brethren, let us peep into the word of God and learn a thing or two about the existence of witchcraft. It is written in Deuteronomy 18:10: “There shall not be found among you anyone who makes his son or his daughter pass through the fire, or one who practices witchcraft, or a soothsayer, or one who interprets omens, or a sorcerer or one who conjures spells, or a medium, or a spiritist, or one who calls up the dead. For all who do these things are an abomination to the Lord and because of these abominations the Lord your God drives them out from before you.”
What is really worrisome is the fact that Nigerians hardly know what constitutes corruption. Corruption is wrongly perceived and limited to stealing whereas corruption has many feathers, many fathers, many mothers, many husbands and wives, many children and grandchildren, many players and grandmasters, and of course hundreds of thousands of cousins.
President Muhammadu Buhari, to the disappointment of this group, delivered a calm, brilliant performance. He refused to be provoked and did not get angry at the taunting.
Was the meeting an endorsement of the Buhari presidency? I will say it is a qualified “yes”.
After weeks of investigation, this could be the week when the Commission finally releases its findings into allegations that the Kano State Local Government election, conducted by the State Independent Electoral Commission using INEC’s register, was marred by underage voting.
The doctrine is rarely used because of the despotic nature of some leaders, who may want to hide behind it to violate their country’s constitution, such as the one we have at hand in Nigeria, wherein President Muhammadu Buhari spent a whopping sum of $496 million of Nigerians’ funds not appropriated for without recourse to the National Assembly.
Four years after the defeat of the All Progressives Congress, (APC), the party is desperate to reclaim a battered image. However, even with the assumed backing of the Federal authorities, the defeat of Mr Fayose and his crony is not given. The possibility of APC dodging another devastating downfall depends on who wins the primary election slated for this Saturday
I work for the President and I am paid for the work I do. This is to save the naysayers some trouble, using their energy to launch attacks when I say that President Buhari is the most-worker friendly administration this country has seen for a long, long time, if ever
These values have been the bedrock of Nigeria’s labour movement since its beginning.
According to the Center, the award is in recognition of Yusuf Ali’s “distinguished contribution of his talent, time and treasure in promoting peaceable communities, institutions and organisations as well as numerous charitable works in various parts of Nigeria”.
Government must as a matter of urgency, set out to unravel the nature of the killings and the people who are involved. The characterization of every killing as the aftermath of the herdsmen-farmer clash and the discordant voices of government and government officials are becoming most worrisome and Benue people are paying very dearly for government’s ineptitude
Why is the politics of “Ajekun iya ni oje” becoming so disruptive, dissembling, shameful, debasing and numbing all your expected pretence to decorum and decency? You constitute yourself as the outlaw and talking head of the National Assembly. You have vexed our common decency with your ugly relapse to primitivism at every opportunity
However, the recent judgement in Senator Bala Mohammed versus the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission appears to provide a new impetus for victims of official highhandedness to challenge their traducers, while at the same time rekindling hope that, somehow, the country will not descend to the reign of tyranny. Former FCT Minister, Bala Mohammed’s fight to enforce his fundamental human rights is solid proof that what it takes for tyranny to take root is for good people to keep quiet or for the injured to refuse to fight back.
At almost every Nigerian literary event I have attended, lack of reading culture in Nigeria always dominates the topic of the day. The falling standard of education, increasing culture of materialism, poverty and online distractions are among the reasons why if one wants to hide a secret from Nigerians, one should document it in a book.
Are we ready to please man and offend God by wilfully sinning against his precepts? Is God not more than able to make all things abound for the truth teller who is ready to rebuke the high and mighty? Should a Christian internalize truth in order not to offend?
The Astral Plane can be a potential minefield for an unprotected soul. It is where spirits of all kinds, good and bad, congregate and where people of ill-intent can launch deadly attacks on unprotected souls.
Last Friday the United States Government released a damning human rights report on Nigeria, saying “grave violations of human rights”…
