TUNDE OLUSUNLE: A Tribute To Abdullahi Nyako (1958-2022)

Entertainment, Opinion

Good Night, "My Brother Before, Before" I chatted with Abdullahi Nyako until about 9.30pm Wednesday September 21, 2022. We typically banter from time to time about politics, current affairs and similar issues. Whenever I desired to reach or pass a message to Atiku Abubakar, Nigeria's former Vice President, and presidential flagbearer of the Peoples' Democratic Party, (PDP), and I couldn't immediately reach him, I got across to him and he acted promptly. Like Atiku, who is also known by the traditional title of Waziri Adamawa, Nyako believed in my sense of judgement and objectivity. You can imagine my bewilderment therefore,…

The Problem With Our Politics, By Amaka Oduh

Opinion, Politics

OPINION This weekend I visited Virginia for a burial ceremony and met a well-established middle-aged Nigerian man. During the introduction, I mentioned I was into politics. I noticed that his tone of voice and demeanor changed, suddenly. He said, “I hate Politics.” He went on about his disappointments with Nigerian politicians, described their politics as a playground for greedy and unpatriotic people. He told the story of how a renowned politician spent over 1.5m Naira in one night in a popular Enugu nightclub in his presence. He firmly stated he did not want anything to do with politicians. I clearly…

On The Road With Benue ‘Hard Man’ Samuel Ortom

Lifestyle, Opinion

By TUNDE OLUSUNLE Avid followers of Nigeria's sociopolitical trends and developments must be very familiar with his name and his multifarious endeavours. Indeed, if there were medals or plaques to reward bluntness and no-holds-barred interjections and interventions in public discourse, he will, rightly, undoubtedly and deservedly, be a frontline contender. He is consistently vocal, irrepressibly fearless, typically pointed, notably bold, pulls no punches. He is no respecter of suffixes, refuses to be cowed by nomenclatures, unmoved by high falutin titles, ever fire-spitting, serially hard-hitting. Where others cringe like whimps, kowtow, cavil and caterwaul, mystified by "the body language" of the…

Of Reptiles, Primates, Insects And Statecraft

Opinion

By TUNDE OLUSUNLE By the time the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari winds up on Monday May 29, 2023, it would have taken our country through every conceivable insanity and ridiculousness. Beyond the time-worn, tripodal possibilities of "the good, the bad and the ugly," Nigerians have gone through what the iconic afrobeat musician, Fela Anikulapo Kuti, described as experiences in "craze world." Just name it: record-breaking killings in peace time; freestyle abductions even under the daylight nostrils of security forces; unabated insurgency, unceasing terrorism. Festering banditry, bestial butchery of hapless and innocent folks by psychopathic marauders, mindless arson, deliberate violence…
