There was so much furore and drama generated last week, by the cross carpeting of Femi Fani Kayode, FFK — with his reception at the Villa by PMB the crux of the umbrage by most APC supporters. PDP stalwarts were very unhappy and became the FFKs of themselves, throwing one invective after the other, rubbishing […]
If you listen to, or watch our OAPs (on air personalities) on our local radio or TV stations, you would be so sure they belonged to opposition political parties, or are perhaps sympathisers to insurrectionists and other anti-government movements or organisations. They invite guests that are squarely opposition party members and people who speak on […]
Succeeding Jega at INEC was definitely a very daunting and tasking endeavor, including of course his emotional intelligence, that masterfully handled Orubebe’s theatrics and tantrums, in the face of a nerve wrecking loss at the polls of 2015. I had to pray a silent prayer for Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, when he was appointed as INEC […]
If Nigeria were to come in a body bag, declared dead, you’d be sure that neither poverty nor medical care would have caused its death. An autopsy would definitely show that she died from a cocktail of bitter and hard drugs in the form of ethnicity, religious crises and a scorching depravity of patriotism. We […]
The rains weren’t going to come this year and I was quite petrified, seeing that the sector with the largest contribution to our GDP has been the non oil sector; with agric leading the fray. The clouds would gather and the thunderstorms would rage on, but then they would just disappear and clear away. In […]
I must give it to the reporter who interviewed IBB on the occasion of his 80th Birthday. Mrs Ngozi Alaegbu went well prepared. She asked the most daring questions, controversial ones, personal ones, and all that any Nigerian would want to ask IBB. She left nothing blank. She coined the most delightful phrases in her […]
I’ll descend on him, no holds barred, dissect him and shred him, as if I were an antagonist of his; like the numerous highway robbers, bandits and organisers of banditry, IPOB/ ESN terrorists and their apologists, who are so eager to see his downfall. I’ll come at him like a fulani man, angry at the […]
Back in the stone age of the social media world, Sahara reporters used to be the only online news medium; where Internet users could readily get information about the happenings in the country. News that was ordinarily stifled from regular people. Over time, like most things that are not founded or hinged on good intentions, […]
Where is the power? Baba quipped about the purported 16 billion dollars spent on power generation during the OBJ administration. As at today, Nigeria’s peak power generation stands at 5,801.60MW, while capacity stands at 7,652.6MW. 16 billion dollars is a lot of money and one can imagine that it would have given us more than […]
INEC, under the able leadership of Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, has undergone tremendous development, with a great deal of digitisation of its processes, making it more efficient, in terms of service delivery. On the 27th of March, 2021, in my article titled, “INEC: Yakub’s timely drive for increase in polling units”, I had highlighted that, “INEC […]
