That the Igbo are in a political freeze is largely due to their own “sleight of hand”; that they are in disarray is because they never agree. And that they have not had any success […]
Alarm don blow. Jaafar Jaafar has delivered the promised tape. And there are more tapes in his possession, so the trickle is likely to continue, prolonging and maximizing the pain. Governor Ganduje is now officially […]
They did not ask Atiku or any of the PDP aspirants to come and consult them about their aspirations and plans for Igbos. No Igbo elders then. When OBJ picked a Fulani Yar’Adua and an […]
In those early days, when Buhari handlers and supporters were supposed to be SELLING the man and EXPLAINING his policies, they resorted to name calling. Every critic was (still is) a wailer. Any time anyone […]
Till today, we never knew how much of public money was spent on Buhari’s medical tours abroad. This money was in HARD CURRENCY running into millions of dollars. Lai Mohammed said they would not tell […]
The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), rode to power in 2015 on the mantra of change. APC achieved the rare historic feat of defeating the incumbent Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), by using cyber thugs and […]
And if the wizards come dey tell you say Atiku betray Jonathan and Obasanjo and Atiku do this or that, tell them say PDP is a party of forgivers and forgiveness. Old things have passed […]
Yes, the Maths scares me. Atiku will sweep SS and SE; sweep most of NC especially Benue, Kwara, Plateau and Kogi (forget about Yahaya Bello’s boasts); he will have significant votes in Taraba, Gombe, Adamawa […]
Those who saw nothing wrong with the APC that not only garnered the support of Redeemed Christian Church, but actually changed the destiny and nomenclature of her second most powerful pastor Yemi Osinbajo from Pastor […]
Many Nigerians do not know that the struggle for power in Yorubaland in 1963-1966 is what led to the series of events that led to coups and then to civil war and so many others. […]
Etim Esin could have been the world best player. Okocha does not compare. Etim Esin never became what he could have become. I am a fan of Orji Uzor Kalu…or perhaps I should say WAS […]
The problem with Nigeria is not as it is popularly imagined. The problem with Nigeria has little to do with leadership deficits. The problem with Nigeria has to do with lack of intellection. Don’t be […]
Last year, one of the very few, if only, great story of the Buhari administration exploded from the offices of JAMB, one of the backwater agencies of government. Mr Ishaq Oloyede, the new JAMB registrar […]
Atiku has lost elections severally, and all because of Obasanjo. Have you heard him attack Obasanjo? Atiku can claim to have been rigged out in these elections. Have you heard “there will be blood of […]
Two seats are placed side by side in governance of Nigeria, the seat of the Sultan of Sokoto and thatof CAN president. Again, Buhari’s social media mouthpiece, Onochie, decides she can insult the political head […]
I have stated that the people who believe in Nigeria the most are Igbos evidenced by their planting roots (buying land, building houses, integrating with the culture etc) wherever, whenever and around the country. Many […]
I am repeating this once again: Nigerians should pay attention to the bogus figures APC churned out from its primaries. They were a template for rigging in 2019. Don’t be surprised when INEC starts allocating […]
Ego is self-defeating. I don’t blame INEC for telling Zamfara APC leaders that the party is not eligible to field candidates for the 2019 elections because they failed to meet the October 7, 2018 deadline […]
“The fact is that all Senators sworn to protect the rule of law know that there are only three ways a Senate President ceases to be one: S/he dies, resigns or is impeached by 2/3 […]
Is the Bureau of Statistics a research unit of any political party in Nigeria? You can’t enthusiastically quote their unemployment figures against former President Jonathan yesterday, and discredit their figures about unemployment and poverty today. […]
The PDP surprised me and confounded all the pre-convention prognostications about a Wike-Tambuwal project and a rancorous convention of clashing political egos and personalities. Apparently, the primary was transparent, even if probably heavily lubricated by […]
I just read an inews.co.uk report posted by Carol Ngozi Ezunagu on Facebook. Below is an excerpt of the report which details the financial support the British government provides persons living with long-term health condition […]
Nigerians on social media have reacted to formal declaration of former Minister of Education, Oby Ezekwesili’s intention to run for Presidency in 2019. Ezekwesili formally declared her intention to run for the office of the […]
ABUJA (Sundiata Post) So man decked up real nice in a voluminous and colourful agbada. He borrowed it from a friendly tailor shop. With a small brush, he gave a little shine to his bushy […]
It’s not the press conference that’s a blunder. That’s understandable, given the political headwinds Governor Ambode is contending with. He could have simply used the presser to make his case for a second term. The […]
One of the greatest POLITICAL INSULTS of this era is calling APC party of “progressives”. Perhaps, we need to explain to some of their young, misguided followers what PROGRESSIVISM was like during the UPN/PRP era: […]
ABUJA (Sundiata Post) Many explanations have been given for the undeclared political separation, if not divorce, between the two reigning sweethearts of Lagos. Part of it is how Akinwunmi Aambode, the sitting governor, is a […]
Well, Osun has shown that a student can improve on the techniques of his teacher. I’m a teacher, hence my teacher/student analogy. When the APC people were in opposition and taking notes on PDP’s rigging […]
In 2003, April 17 to be precise, I boarded an ADC flight to Sokoto en route Gusau to cover the presidential election for THISDAY Newspapers. I stayed overnight with the then immediate past director-general of […]
ABUJA (Sundiata Post) The history of South-Western region is not complete without mentioning its unarguably most chaotic era, often called “Operation Wetie” – a period marked by unprecedented violence and wanton destruction of lives and […]
ABUJA (Sundiata Post) It is incontrovertibly the fact that Osun, the ancestral state of the strong man of South-West politics Sen. Ahmed Bola Tinubu, had hitherto remained an appendix to the political empire of the […]
ABUJA (Sundiata Post) In 1974, Mahatma Gandhi, shortly before his assassination, gave his fifth grandson, Arun Gandhi, a list of instructions written on a piece of paper to which top on the list was “politics […]
Sometimes in 2010, when the Ekiti rerun between Kayode Fayemi and Segun Oni was to hold, a certain AYO FAYOSE was the beautiful bride. Then ACN leaders were all over him. Tinubu called for a […]
ABUJA (Sundiata Post) Ignorance has invaded the airwaves. The constitution is being bandied about drunkenly. We are now being told that the constitution insists on a winner being declared even if the number of qualified […]
Under Jonathan-PDP, fuel subsidy payments totaled $5 billion a year, but fuel price was N87 a liter. Under Buhari, who called subsidy payment a scam and promised to eliminate it, fuel subsidy payments now total […]
ABUJA (Sundiata Post) Just returned to Lagos this morning from Abuja since last week Thursday. Kept the trip off public glare for personal reasons. I had to move round Abuja as much as possible during […]
ABUJA (Sundiata Post) Osun, second wife of Sango, after whom “the state of Osun” is named holds a special place in the pantheon of Yoruba mythology. Osun, goddess of fertility, was a great cook. She […]
ABUJA (Sundiata Post) Is it mere happenstance that possibly before but definitely since MKO Abiola headlined POVERTY elimination and HOPE restoration in his 1993 presidential campaign, no other presidential candidate has made fight against poverty, […]
News coming out of the Kwankwasiyya camp says its leader, former Kano State Governor and PDP presidential aspirant, Rabiu Kwankwaso, has decreed the Kano PDP governorship ticket to his son in-law. He has also awarded […]
Buhari’s fraudulent #National Carrier to Nowhere went like this: its unimaginative, $600,000 (N183 million) logo was designed in Bahrain by foreigners. The logo was “unveiled” in London. But the whole Nigeria Air scam was “suspended” […]
