Opinion / Editorial

It is no longer conjectural; Nigeria is at war. In July alone, some 282 of our citizens were gunned down or killed violently.

Buhari’s Ministerial List Of Doom Or Boom By Fredrick Nwabufo

July 24, 2019 No comment

Opinion / Editorial

Reinforcing failure is trying to solve a problem with the same washed-out tools, methods and live-ware. A president is as good as his cabinet; this is the reason competence and character, and not political value, must take precedence over every other item in a detailing list.

Opinion / Editorial

While the political leadership of Nigeria was basking in the euphoria of a false sense of triumph, the dynamics in the theatre of war has changed from civilian terrorism to a full blown insurgency, which has seen ISWAP take ground forces of mainly the Nigerian army head on, leaving many dead and carting away caches […]Continue Reading
