The bright side that one has in mind is not really the fact that vaccines to protect mankind from being further decimated by coronavirus have been produced, which is good, anyway. Neither is it the number of those struck by the virus and those that have recovered, which is also cherry news. But one is […]

The strange events that reached the crescendo on January 6, in the country formerly known as the United States of America (USA), which with a heavy heart I’m reluctantly rechristening, the Divided States of America (DSA), are indeed unprecedented and epochal, but fortunately not apocalyptic. That’s because, in the end, the coup detat that was […]

If the title of this essay suggests that l may be advocating that all our unemployed youths become Nollywood movie makers or actors in order to discourage them from embarking on the perilous trip to Europe through illegal routes, it is misleading because that’s far from being the case. However , it would help if […]

When Donald J Trump’s tumultuous presidency ends on January 20, 2021, he would be handing over to president-elect, Joseph R Biden, a United States of America (USA), that has degenerated from first to third world.

At a point, the second wave of the dreaded coronavirus pandemic seemed so farfetched. But with the number of cases of covid-19 pandemic carriers ramping up as reflected by the increase in the count of people testing positive for a disease that was thought to be on its way out, Coronavirus has once again crossed our […]

President Muhamadu Buhari is reluctant to discontinue the payment of an economically debilitating fuel subsidy to importers, a practice he inherited from Goodluck Ebele Jonathan’s regime and which some analysts believe sets Nigeria back financially to the tune of at least a quarter of a trillion naira annually. Instead of relieving government (tax payers?) of […]

Upon his return from a state visit to China a few months ago, song and dance were made of a business scoop, that goes by the name Naira/Yuan swap which the high powered Nigerian entourage, struck with their Chinese counterparts.

The road to justice may be very long, especially if the process of delivering it is long drawn out, but no matter how long it takes, justice is sweet when it is finally done.

One of the best ways to reduce dissent and rebellion, which hate speeches epitomises is to govern equitably through respect for the rule of law and observance of equity and justice in a polity. Inability or failure of leaders to adhere to those simple tenets, breeds resentment. Citizens or people generally often harboured ill feelings […]

Understandably, owing to the rapid depletion of the nation’s forex reserve, (now reduced to about $27b) the seemingly prohibitive cost of educating Nigerians abroad, and the huge sum expended on medicare overseas are giving the president headache.Be that as it may, does the situation warrant the decision to plunge Nigerians into the abyss of ignorance […]

With the sort of gloom and doom now pervading the sociopolitical atmosphere in Nigeria, due to the ongoing financial crisis, humor seems to be the best antidote for easing the stress.

Finally, our dear president Muhamadu Buhari has admitted that his policy actions or inactions are hurting Nigerians, at least in the interim, if not long term and he has thus appealed to them for patience during the ‘feast of sacrifice’ recently observed by Muslims.Evidence of change of strategy from channeling all energy into anti corruption […]

It appears that the Nigerians who have been waiting with bated expectation for who blinks first between President Muhammadu Buhari (PMB) and former president Olusegun Obasanjo (OBJ) will be waiting for a long time. This is because, although the  gregarious OBJ has fired salvos of public condemnation against PMB’s governance style and policies, which some […]

A couple of years ago, Nigerian economy was growing at between 6-7%, GDP rate.

Am I the only one miffed by the manner in which the Nigerian Air Force, NAF recently exhibited its ‘prowess’ as evidenced by its targeted strikes of indigenous oil refineries in the Niger delta?

Policing in Nigeria is about to receive a boost through the injection of N100 billion naira investment into the Nigerian police force (NPF) to improve its fledgling services.

Do you remember the popular wise crack: Money Talks, Bullsh*t Works?

by Magnus Onyibe. Miyetti Allah, the Fulani cattle breeders association has joined the ranks of those antagonizing the senate president, Bukola Saraki and railing against his presidential ambition, which is both curious and unbecoming.

The latest block buster movie in Nigeria today is Dasukigate and l hope like most Nigerians, our congress is watching.

A famous unlettered lbadan politician is associated with part of the title of this article when he famously pronounced the term Peculiar Mess as PENKELEMES. But that parody is not the focus of this piece which is aimed at identifying and advising against allowing allegations and counter allegations of corruption against the APC and PDP presidential […]

A farmer who was extorted by govt officials over land matters in northern India was so aggrieved and wanted to take his pound of flesh, so he dumped a bag of 40 snakes into the offices of the dept of land as a reprisal action. The farmers response (in the above narrative) to those who […]

One crucial way of assessing government is through job creation and this must not be lost on the masses, writes Magnus Onyibe A couple of years ago, the Nigerian economy was growing at between 6 and 7 per cent GDP rate.

The title of this essay is elicited by the fact that the predilection of the All Progressive Congress, APC about the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar seems to be whether he has a valid visiting visa to the USA.

The fear of dominance by one ethnic group over another in the Nigerian union has been with us since Lord Frederick Luggard, the representative of the British colonialist, amalgamated the southern and northern protectorates of the British Empire into one entity called Nigeria in 1914, with him as the Governor General. Over hundred (100) years […]

For one who has survived impossible political minefields, it is understandable why a former governor of Delta State, Mr. James Ibori remains an iconoclast before his people.

While still grappling with our economy which remains stuck in the doldrums, our hard earned democracy, which seems to be the next target of deterioration, is by all indications heading for the precipice, if the current Executive/Judiciary face-off is not handled with care.

President Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday, August 25, 2020 continued with the rejigging of his administration’s policy plank by repackaging his erstwhile three point development agenda of anti-corruption, fighting insurgency as well as economic development.

President Muhammadu Buhari’s undoing is his style, which is not lockstep with the challenges of the new age, writes Magnus Onyibe President Muhamadu Buhari’s face can sometimes be deadpan and inscrutable.

HAVING defined the brand Jonathan that he desires,he should go ahead and make it happen because neither the media nor the opposition will do it for him.

REUBEN ABATI, President Goodluck Jonathan’s spokesman’s piece titled, “The Jonathan They don’t Know” syndicated in both national and online media platforms last week made incisive and interesting reading.
