Robert Mugabe: Zimbabwe’s Liberator

Posted: September 9, 2019 at 4:21 am   /   AFRICA, Opinion

One man, many views; Robert Mugabe is someone that is not easy to define. To some, he was a hero who championed Zimbabwe’s independence struggles from colonial warlords.

Nigeria: Why Debates Don’t Win Elections

Posted: February 19, 2019 at 4:40 pm   /   AFRICA, Opinion

Before the November 8th, 2016 American Presidential Elections, the arguments of best choice and popular candidates, though discussable, barely meant anything in the foray of ideal choice. In the American political space, candidates are basically judged by meaningful antecedents and strong character. Those who wish to occupy the revered American political offices must have good […]

Hungry Electorate, Vote Buying, And Nigeria’s Money Bags Corrupt Politicians 

Posted: January 22, 2019 at 5:04 pm   /   AFRICA, Opinion, Politics

The Nigeria General Elections have had the citizens divided into chaotic classes of choice, preferences, and opinions. The electorate, in the firm clinch of their Permanent Voter Cards, PVCs, has, so far, declared themselves the winner of the preferential debates. And they are right.

However, the values of news have not changed — timeliness, objectivity, factuality, and recency — still remain huge and integral aspects of information transfer and understanding. These values embody news and […]

Nigeria: The Mediocre Games And Rollercoaster Politics Of 2nd Niger Bridge

Posted: December 17, 2018 at 5:11 pm   /   AFRICA, Opinion

Two months ago, precisely in mid-October when the news and pictures of the fully-completed Chinese wonder bridge hit the online media, it did not tickle our surprise gland as one would expect, given that attributing such huge projects to a big economy like China is probably not expected to elicit amazement. But the mega-bridge; connecting […]

Nigeria: 2019 Dilemma And The Story Of Another Bitter Alternative

Posted: December 4, 2018 at 1:47 am   /   AFRICA, Opinion

It is as worrisome as it is sad how Nigeria’s pre-electoral hysterics of 2015 have been consciously or subconsciously forgotten. An average political conservative might consider this proposition as untenable given that whatever happens in the Nigerian societal terrain is left to its originators to sort out.

Trump And The Danger Of Nationalism Worldwide

Posted: November 14, 2018 at 8:34 am   /   FEATURED STORIES, Opinion, U.S., WORLD
