  • Editorial: The Proposed French Military Base in Nigeria

    President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s alleged plan to host a French military base in Nigeria is a dangerous capitulation to neo-imperialism, signaling a catastrophic betrayal of Nigeria’s sovereignty and its Pan-African leadership. This move, shrouded in secrecy, signals a catastrophic lapse in leadership and national judgment. France’s notorious history of meddling in African affairs, including its […]

    If any further evidence was needed that President Bola Tinubu has failed Nigeria catastrophically, the latest report from SBM Intelligence, a market security intelligence and consulting firm, that ranked Nigeria among the biggest losers in its Africa Country Instability Risk (ACIR) report, paints a bleak picture of the country’s democratic backsliding, that should alarm every […]

  • Editorial: Forgery in the Temple of Justice

    The Nigerian judiciary, often described as the last hope of the common man, suffered another devastating blow to its integrity, and is rapidly losing its moral authority amid a growing pile of scandals that reveal systemic corruption within its ranks. The shocking suspension, compulsory retirement, and financial penalties imposed by the National Judicial Council (NJC) […]
  • Tinubu grains: A Nuhu Ribadu advertorial

    In case you missed it, here is the video of National Security Adviser Mr Nuhu Ribadu, last week, advertising a fake product.   A lifetime ago, it seems, Ribadu served as the pioneer Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, a Federal Government agency that now appears only to be a branch of Nollywood.
