By Hon. Kenneth Gbandi With all his complexity, convictions, and enduring persona, President Muhammadu Buhari represented not just the Nigeria of his time, but a Nigeria that still struggles to be, a country yearning for discipline in governance, fairness in justice, and accountability in public life. It is no surprise, then, that nostalgia for these ideals brought him back for a second political missionary journey, reflecting a national desire to rediscover purpose and reestablish trust in leadership. His second coming coincided with the height of my own service to Nigeria through diaspora leadership. It offered a unique opportunity for me to engage more closely with the administration,…

This idea that the world is sliding inevitably toward a third global war. The imagery is dramatic, the fear visceral. But it is…

Prof. Mondy Gold When floodwaters rise, they do not merely inundate homes; they drown histories, disrupt destinies, and lay bare the structural weaknesses of entire nations.

Yet in Nigeria, the crisis keeps returning and so too does the suffering, familiar and relentless. This crisis is not just about water; it is about lives routinely abandoned in the flood’s path.…
