I don’t think the national assembly members in Nigeria will be able to withstand the consequences of their actions. How dare they ask for accountability for the monies disbursed as palliatives for the poor to cushion the effects of COVID-19? There are talks that up to 5.2 billion Naira was disbursed within 72 hours. A…

Nigerians are not inventive. If not, they would have realised that in this jet age, every home should supply its own electricity. In addition,…
It is no longer news the fact that some Igbo leaders went on a visit to the Oba of Lagos, the Olowo Eko, His Royal Majesty, Oba Rilwan Akiolu. Kabiyesi o! In the course of the visit, the Oba entertained them wonderfully. They broke the traditional kola and I can imagine they took some hot…
I have found it!Yes! Crude oil has decided not to be selling much again. Nigerians and the economy of Nigeria are the worse for it.
