When I recall Prof. Chinua Achebe’s rejection of the recent national honour given to him by President Goodluck Jonathan on the basis that those things that made him reject the offer during the era of former president, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo are still there, my mind quickly raced to Bayelsa State where the incumbent governor, Timipre Sylva, is being treated as a political orphan by the interest groups and the powers that…

I don’t know about you, but I’m not so sure I want to be Nigerian anymore. Kindly don’t misapprehend that disavowal though, for I do love this country; indeed, dearly so. In spite of its imperfections and congenital dysfunction, there’s nowhere else on the face of this earth I would rather call my homeland.

When moves were made in 2010 to amend certain sections of the Electoral Act, the intention was ostensibly to remove whatever parties that were heating up the polity.

I write this piece in honour of two Nigerians whose heroic feats may go unnoticed in our country, Nigeria, as the case had often been. I want to put it on record so that the future generation, including their own children may know and appreciate them.
Mr Umaru Abdulahi, a muslim from Kebbi State is the security guard at the Catholic Bishop’s House, Ajilosun, Ado-Ekiti while Miss Opeyemi Anne Folowosele, a recent convert to…

President Goodluck Jonathan is not happy about “reckless spending” by state governors, ministers and other senior government personnel. And, this is official. Last Monday, Nigerians were informed that the Presidency was scheduled to hold a workshop for governors, ministers, directors of ministries, council chairmen and other key government officials to educate them on what amounts to money…
