The PDP platform, not the APC’s, appears to present a more realistic strategy to fight corruption. As strange as it might at first seem, if we listen closely to the narrative of the APC and PDP on corruption, there is reason to believe that the PDP presents a better platform for fighting the monster in Nigeria. […]

Jonathan, Mbaka and the e-Hounds
I have two issues with Rev. Fr. Camillus Ejikeme Mbaka’s approach to social and political matters, and I will state them right away. One is his tendency to declare with finality what will happen to the world or to people of the world that have gone astray. We Christians live in New Testament times which […]
A certificate “expo” for the APC
Where is General Muhammadu Buhari’s school leaving certificates? Vanguard led the search on Friday 2 January 2014 with the claim by the Army that the military is not with Buhari’s original certificates, contrary to what he may have alleged in an affidavit submitted to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). Two days later, The Punch […]
Alternative Voices of Reason
I find something in common with what Yinka Odumakin and Tunde Bakare are saying about the February elections. They sound like voices of reason. I listened to separate interviews by two notable south west politicians – Yinka Odumakin (the activist) and Tunde Bakare (the pastor.) Both are being “accused” of discretely or openly supporting Candidate […]
“Merry” or “Happy Christmas?”
President Goodluck Jonathan just wished Nigerians a “happy Christmas.” Is it merry or happy Christmas, Mr. President? Like many others, I’m left wondering whether we should actually be greeting “Merry Christmas,” or “Happy Christmas” at this time. I wanted to upbraid the President for choosing to go against the grain, but decided to do a […]
Beyond Buhari and Jonathan
It is no news that President Goodluck Jonathan and General Muhammadu Buhari have been selected by their respective parties as the gladiators for the President’s crown in 2015. What should be a matter of concern are the indiscreet noises that we are beginning to read and hear from the social media regarding the two warriors. […]
On Linda Ikeji’s N24m Toy
I couldn’t help paying attention to a trending conversation on premier blogger Linda Ikeji’s latest toy – a N24m Range Rover Sport – which she promoted on her blog. I want to join in. I’ve visited the Linda Ikeji blog twice before. The first was to study the strategy she uses to attract heavy traffic […]
Fashola’s Disingenuity
I finally got around to reading Gov. Fashola’s “take-away” on the Ekiti polls. After going through it, I shook my head in awe. The Governor’s intelligence is legendary, but on this take-away, I thought he was simply disingenuous. For instance, since when did it become a given that being cerebral or a performing technocrat guarantees […]

Good News for the Criminal Poor
Have Nigerian judges now decided to treat the criminal poor like the criminal rich? On Tuesday 13 March 2014, a magistrate, Mrs. Chinyere Nwacheonwu, handed down an unusual sentence to a man accused of stealing money from an Abuja Church: she asked one Augustine Bala (27) to sweep and clean for one month a church […]
