Terrorism In Nigeria And Gains Of The US Threat

Terrorism In Nigeria And Gains Of The US Threat

Column, Opinion
By SHEDDY OZOENE When the United States named Nigeria a Country of Particular Concern and hinted at possible military action to counter perceived genocide against the country's Christians, many Nigerians were angry. Some saw it as interference; others felt it was an insult to our independence. But behind all the reactions is an uncomfortable truth: the warning pushed our leaders to act. In that sense, it has turned out, it would seem, a blessing in disguise. For years, Nigerians of all backgrounds have lived with the fear of terrorism. Communities have been attacked, people displaced, and whole areas left unsafe…

As Tinubu Continues To Insult Nigerians

As Tinubu Continues To Insult Nigerians

Column, Opinion
As Tinubu continues to insult Nigerians: Tinubu’s political appointments mirror who he is and his abiding political philosophy. As someone poignantly asked, if he didn’t appoint the likes of Prof Mahmoud, Reno Omokri and Femi Fani-Kayode, people who reflect him in character, attitude, political conduct, and the elasticity of principles, who else? In all Tinubu does, politics trumps governance. What matters is how to strengthen his hold on power, and not the promotion of common good. And even if that translates to insulting Nigerians, so be it. Or how else can it be explained that a congenital liar like Reno…

Why Churches Shy Away From Sex Education

Why Churches Shy Away From Sex Education

Column, Opinion
By OREVA GODWIN A man of God once told someone, “Oreva can’t be a born-again Christian and write the way she does. She’s influenced by a familiar spirit. That’s where she gets her inspiration, and that’s why she talks so boldly about sex. She doesn’t have the Holy Spirit in her.” It’s sad that we still have Stone Age Christians who haven’t come to the realization that Christ doesn’t limit us from speaking the truth or discussing deep matters. We’ve replaced spirituality with religion, and called it holiness. Having the Holy Spirit doesn’t mean you lose your sense or individuality.…

Boko Haram On A Gravy Train Under Tinubu’s Watch

Boko Haram On A Gravy Train Under Tinubu’s Watch

Column, Opinion
Boko Haram on a gravy train under Tinubu’s watch: What the Tinubu government did is a shameful abdication of governance. If, as Onanuga claimed, the security agents not only know all the bandits, but also where they operate from, what is being flaunted as achievement is a gross advertisement of cluelessness, which in other countries will elicit a mass protest and call for resignation. Tinubu does not know what it means to be commander-in-chief of the armed forces… With hunger and poverty ravaging the land, violence is bound to spike. With increased violence and mass abduction of school children, more…

With Tinubu, It Will Only Get Worse

With Tinubu, It Will Only Get Worse

Column, Opinion
With Tinubu, it will only get worse: It is no hyperbole to say that all the indices of human development have gone south under Tinubu’s watch. Life in Tinubu’s Nigeria typifies the Hobbesian state of nature – “solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short.” But scarier still is the fact that when you think you have seen the worst, it gets even messier. With Tinubu, nothing is sacred. All that matters is raw power and the exercise of same. Every institution has been compromised… Tinubu’s presidency is turning into an unmitigated disaster before our very eyes… And what do we get…

When Heartbreak Creates Monsters

When Heartbreak Creates Monsters

Column, Opinion
By OREVA GODWIN It's scary when someone you once loved with all your heart, someone you thought you knew change into a monster right before you. I remembered when I ended things with my ex before my unidays, he couldn't take the break up. He threatened me that if he couldn't have me, no one would. He literally showed up anytime I was with another man, just to threaten and warn him to stay off me. With his intimidating height and popularity, he was a menace. Guys were in fear once they saw him. The men exclaimed that they didn't…
