One local champion representing one local area of Niger State has opened wide his mouth and talked of opening up another barbaric chapter in the story of our nationhood. Adolph Hitler did it. Idi Amin did it. Sadam Hussein did it

Today Nigerians are living with a bitter sense of betrayal. The Buhari’s lies is becoming a fixture even among liberal commentators
The politicization of his inefficiency, weakness, flaws and frailties have all become targets for shooters to lob gunshots at him
Here, let me urge all Nigerians to use the relational nature of both the social media and global space to deny Saraki from being made president of Nigeria now, soon or in the future
Obasanjo has a divine desire to remotely micro manage any elected Nigerian president
I hate a nation or rather people who celebrate quietude at a time when disquiet is needed. I just don’t’ like a nation where bread and butter are the twin obstacle to free expression in a time of national trial.
What? Someone requested that I should pray for Nija? Hahahahaaaaa!!! A bit of my Christian credentials may be necessary here. Don’t be deceived by my byline
As the Nigerian male balls are castrated, bottom power takes over and the home becomes overheated with chaos and power struggle
Our unity is now a passing meteor, a dry well and a melting vapour. One Nigeria has landed us into chasms of darkness for 100 years
One cannot restate it enough that power in Nigeria is wielded by the rich and strong for the rich and strong. That is why Otedola, Dangote, Adenuga, Uba of our universe have unfettered access to the seat of power than say Ndibe, Adesanmi, Olumhense, etc. We have endured all kinds of looter-leaders for over five decades playing on the inherent illusion of the power one indivisible Nigeria
We have all been living in the dark for 57 years but a small spark of light is all we need to usher in the illumination of revolution. Our political longitude, forever steered to favour the rich, needs to be re-navigated and the error corrected
Nigeria voted President Muhammadu Buhari to come and fight corruption and return Nigeria to the path of honour, decency, respect, integrity and global goodwill. Corruption has been fighting a dirty war and taking it back to the aggressors
The repulsive evil of corruption was exposed and its fall out of class collaboration and collusion astounded our sense of moral indignation and national pride. It was the first time Nigerians will see a sitting president who took on the fight against corruption, not as a lip service, but as an obsessive cause worth dying for
Once he fell from the Olympian height of his rich, British heritage of fairness, he has returned to his natural habitat: a plebeian, pedestrian and commoner universe
Until the roof was taken down, I had always believed that the houses of the Odumakins, Adebanjos, Omisores, Mimikos, Georges, Onigbindes, Fasorantis, Arogbofas and others in the double whammy train to Abuja are full of fluorescent light
He is a living testimony to the argot that says: sometimes people have to reject you before they accept you. Buhari once shook the heavens above us
Politicians are not worth defending, but with the epochal re-entry of an Olympian figure like General Muhammadu Buhari, I had to collapse my old frame of restraint and back a man that is set to redirect and renew our membership to a comity of respected nations
Readers are left in no doubt that the stakes for good governance are high on his pulse and that Olusegun Obasanjo’s troubled soul is being waged on the outcome. Behind his passionate, epistolary mitigation, there is no softening of his spirit of confrontation and rebellious rebuke against a lame duck President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan
If you want to make peace with your enemy, you have to work with your enemy. Then he becomes your partner” – Mandela.
“As I walked out the door toward the gate that would lead to my freedom, I knew if I didn’t leave my bitterness and hatred behind, I’d still be in prison”
I laughed at the delusional assemblage of President Goodluck Jonathan’s entourage to the funeral of a man who made both the African and the world very proud
