'’The unfolding anarchy and violence in Nigeria are serious matters, and every attempt must be made to keep the public informed. A documentary that investigates and examines government failures while centering victims and their families would have done that. Giving boastful, bloodthirsty criminals a global platform serves only two...
I heavily grieve for those who have lost their lives or been injured during the period of these protests. My deepest sympathies go to their families and loved ones for none should have been made to pay such a dear price. My career as an active politician spans nearly...
In logic, “argumentum ad ignorantiam” describes a deficit in reasoning whereby an argument is based on sheer ignorance. It is the most hilarious slip to make in a debate.

He specifically mentioned Dr. Bukola Saraki who was President of...
Atiku Abubakar decided to play safe in his choice of a running mate. Okowa is a meek, lackluster, barely politically visible governor who may neither help nor hurt Atiku's chances in 2023. As a "Delta Igbo" person, he has never been known to deny his Igbo ethnic identity, as many...
Today, there will be no drumming, dancing, or partying. The day will, as usual, be devoted to prayers and enjoying the company of family, friends, and well-wishers. However, as it is the tradition with his family, the 59th birthday anniversary of Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki will witness a new...
