OMG! Nigeria Senate!! Senator Fatai Buhari. Oyo North Senatorial Yes. I still find it hard to believe Sincerely speaking, I am still in a state of mental shock. I cannot imagine that fact that, That short, dark, easy-going but highly intelligent, brilliantly progressive, proactive-minded soul and potently cerebral human being who is so awesomely blessed by God. A reasonably distinguished Senator who represents Oyo Central Senatorial District. A former member of the House of Representatives Who before his becoming a member of the House of Assembly was not only comfortable but handsomely blessed by God. Yes, the same. Senator Fatai Buhari, who is representing Oyo North in the Senate is credited to be one of the most credible, efficiently diligent and dependable Senators with an unblemished integrity. He is one of the very few honest persons I ever encountered in this world whose word is his word and his deed is a deal. A passionate promise keeper. And since he joined the polit...

President Tinubu ! CULTURE AND ENTERTAINME IS NOT IT By Frank Meke. President Bola Ahmed Tinubu gave us a sign of what he possibly has in mind concerning the tourism economy under his administration. His adviser on Culture and Entertainment economy is Hannatu Musa Musawa. That's all to it, and industry observers and operators are apprehensive. Activities have slowed , investment kept on hold, planned recruitment of persons in most of the frontline sectors, are kept and suspended. Nothing cheering anywhere and the killings and kidnappings not abating. When appointments are made, usually businesses, local and international, react either way, supportive or farlon. In Hannatu Musa Musawa case, her relationship with the sector can not meet with the tourism industry integrity test. On Culture and Entertainment field, where is she coming from? Is she an investor? Has she the character, perseverance, the mobilization spirit, and temperament to stay on her feet through ...

Why Tinubu is not qualified to be President of Nigeria? Read this. By Wale Ojo - Lanre I believe a man should be able to stand up and tell the truth whenever there is the need for it. Even in the face of criminal intimidation from friends and foes. And a few souls are in Nigeria who can stand up to tell it the way it is. I hate when national issues are being treated with sentiments, unbridled passion, ethnic colouration and personal animosity. The fact that I am a Yoruba should not foreclosed my integrity to tell the truth even if my own kinsmen is concerned At least , PMB is not a Yoruba but I am glued to him without any attachment or personal benefits despite all. Hence, I wish also to say the truth as I find out about Asiwaju Ahmed Tinubu over his education qualification for the post of the presidency of Nigeria I may not like Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu but I will not steer away from the truth when it is needed to be told. We should put sentiments apart when it comes to nat...

OMG! See Igbo Killing Igbos without shame ! There was a time in Nigeria's media history when a certain Ebenezer Williams was arguably one of the country's best newspaper columnists. But that popular name was a pseudonym, a fictitious identity. The masquerade donning that beautiful costume was Abiodun Aloba, colonial and post-colonial Nigeria media genius. He died in 2001. In the Daily Express of April 18, 1970, three months after the Nigerian civil war ended, and thirty-one years before the man died, he did a post-mortem of the Nigerian civil war and a character portrait of the Ibo (now called Igbo). Read him slowly, carefully: “They are too ebullient in victory, too sullen in defeat. They are too mechanical in a technology world ...They are too bookish; they are too much of crowd, jumping just where the leader had jumped...” Ebenezer Williams believed that if the Igbo had won the civil war, all, and that included their friends and foes, “would have all had it.” Three weeks a...
