An Amnesty was worked out for the agitating youth who had reduced Nigeria’s oil output by almost half, and Nigeria invested billions in training and rehabilitating these youth. Peace that eluded Obasanjo was restored to the creeks” At a slippery point in time in Nigeria’s history and indeed the history of Africa, where decent leadership is elusive and desperation triumphs; where the people have given up on integrity and the…

The 168 Million Nigerians Sniper List There has been much ado about the alleged 1000 political opponents sniper list since former president, General Obasanjo made the scary revelation. This leaves 168 million Nigerians on list number 2, after approximating another 1000 political cabal, who may currently be in favor with the president and not yet on his sniper list.

But remember you have no trust to keep with them because they have broken their trust with you” Nigeria’s youth, a demographic of over 43% of the nation’s population, have many things in common: They are the most unemployed, the most marginalized and least represented in political office,…

Opposition of the Signed Anti-Gay Marriage Bill is Opposition of Democracy “We must admit that the signing of this bill was a true dividend of democracy… at its best. I believe opposed Nigerians should respect the law and process of our ‘beloved’ democracy. Or be more honest and challenge democracy itself and the nations that constitute the larger Nigeria if those who wish Jonathan did not sign, desperately wish to have their revered ‘western universal laws,’ enforced in some new western culture nationettes, that reject the more popular African socio-culture” The media is awash with passionate, intellectual outputs, decrying Nigeria’s…
