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…

Wike And The Naval Officer

Wike And The Naval Officer

Column, Opinion
BY ABRAHAM OGBODO It is not right to say that Nyesom Wike is in the news again. He is, always. The big deal is when the Minister, who was also Governor of Rivers State for eight years, manages to stop boiling over and strike a comportment that does not attract news hunters. Last Tuesday, Wike as FCT Minister, went to recover a swath of land which acquisition did not, according to him, follow the due process laid down by the authorities of the FCT. There are ways to own land in Nigeria. The Supreme Court said so in Idundun V…

Ned Nwoko: An Irresponsible Old Man

Ned Nwoko: An Irresponsible Old Man

Column
By IKECHUKWU AMAECHI Let me state from the onset that calling Senator Ned Nwoko an irresponsible old man is not an insult. It is a statement of fact. Born on December 21, 1960, he will be 65 years next month. Some people believe that is his political age, which means he could be older. But let us stay with what we know. Even in countries like Hong Kong, Republic of San Marino, and the Principality of Monaco, where life expectancy exceeds 85 years, as a convention, a person over 65 years is referred to as elderly. It is even more so in…

A Country Of More Than A Particular Concern

A Country Of More Than A Particular Concern

Opinion
BY ABRAHAM OGBODO It is not wise to discuss something else until further notice. There is a national emergency. Somebody has said that Nigeria is a country of a particular concern. It is Donald Trump, the President of the United States of America that said so. The man tried to explain ‘a particular concern’ to mean the unabating killing of Christian Nigerians. I thank Donald Trump for showing particular concern to issues that particularly concern Nigerians. He sounded as if Nigeria does not have enough people to show concern about issues that concern the country. I have not come here…

For Tinubu, Karma Is A Bitch

For Tinubu, Karma Is A Bitch

Opinion
Nigeria under Tinubu’s watch remains a country with a large swathe of ungoverned territory. Under his watch, Nigerians are gruesomely murdered daily and buried in mass graves. That is a disgrace. It does not matter whether the victims are Moslems or Christians. Nigerians deserve better. The right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness is fundamental and inalienable. It is the responsibility of government to guarantee that. Wanton killings diminish Tinubu’s presidency and validate Trump’s claim that Nigeria is a disgraced country. A self-conscious leader would resign just as he advised President Jonathan 11 years ago. For Tinubu, karma…
