CONSEQUENCE OF MILITARY DEFEAT OR FAILURE  The Nigerian Armed Forces are currently engaged and engrossed in several operations throughout the country, to rid the nation of insurgents, kidnappers, bandits, seccesionist and other undesirable elements bend on destroying the country. Several successes are being recorded. However, as is expected, there are also many setbacks, regressions , failures and reversal of gains.  We all witnessed recently, the operational failure of the Syrian Armed forces which resulted in the capitulation of the Assad regime. Similarly under our eyes the Armed Forces of Libya was overan and Gaddafi fled the presidential palace , subsequently he was captured and brutally killed. The same fate befell Saddam Hussain, after his Armed Forces was subdued, he escaped and went into hiding. He was eventually discovered, tried, humiliated and executed.  Many of us do not know what will befall this country if our Armed Forces is defeated. The conse...

For over a quarter of a century, Nigeria had not seen a master political strategist like Tinubu. He is a damn cool political customer that perfected the art of manipulating political friends and foes alike, using machinations that borders on capitalizing on polical greed, corrupt stance and selfish inclinations of our political elites. Forget the NADECO days and the self imposed exile, or even the brief stint at the National Assembly as Distinguished Senator, he launched the first step of realizing his ambition to rule the country by contesting and winning the Lagos State Governorship in 1999. You must give Tinubu credit for transforming Lagos in his two terms through pragmatic strategy of surrounding himself with some of the best minds and technocrats Lagos can offer at the time. He withstand the high-handedness of Obasanjo as he choked Lagos revenues by freezing it's Local government funds for two years. Tinubu not only launched himself but his human machinery, hoping...

👉Nigerian politicians are a special breed created by Allah and made to be insatiable. This month is just half way in the tenure of our ‘elected’ representatives to various offices and they are already positioning themselves for next election that will not be due till the next 21 months (Q 3 v 26)! They do not believe the words of Allah that He can take anybody’s life at any time, the state of health of the individual notwithstanding (Q 33 v 63). Instead of concentrating on service delivery that will write their names in our hearts (Q 17 v 7), they are busy planning for where they want to be in 2027, including those of them that will not be alive then. They should all fear Allah and worship Him, per chance Allah will show them Mercy (Q 26 v 68) and forgive them their sins and transgressions (Q 23 v 118).  Crime and punishment are opposite sides of the same coin. If appropriate punishment follows the commission of crime in real time, potential criminals will think more than twice be...

*Title:* The Criminals in Suits and the Silence of the Educated *To the ones they tried to fool with flags and degrees,* We’ve spent decades pointing at the man with a gun in the forest.  The rebel with no ideology. The boy who hijacks trucks on a dusty highway. *But I’ve lived long enough to know, that’s not the real enemy.* The real enemy sits in boardrooms and conference halls.  The real criminal wears a suit, speaks fluent English, and calls his theft *policy reform.* You see them on TV.  *They smile as they announce the privatization of water, electricity, a state owned institutions.* They celebrate budget cuts to public schools in the name of *“fiscal responsibility.”*  *They sign mineral rights away for fifty years, then fly to Geneva for a climate conference.* They don’t carry *AK-47s.* They carry pens.  And the blood doesn’t spill fast, it spills slow, across generations. *They Kill Us With Policy* They called it SAP; *Structural Adjustment ...

  Caption : With President Obasanjo and LND’s Youth Ldr, Abraham Onoja, in Abeokuta last Sunday, 25th May!                       By            *Umar Ardo, Ph.D* “Look for 3 things in a person – intelligence, energy and integrity. If they don’t have the last one, don’t bother with the first two”.   2. The above quotation comes from Warren Edward Buffet, an American business magnet, investor, speaker and philanthropist who is reputed to be the fourth richest man in the world. A member of the United States Democratic Party, Buffet insists that the number one trait to look for in selecting a leader is integrity, which he places over and above all other qualities. And integrity, he says, is about choosing one’s thoughts and actions based on values rather than personal gains. This, therefore, means that integrity is fundamentally a function of character. 3. But Warren Buffet on...

Chuks Okocha in Abuja  The coalition of opposition against the reelection of President Bola Tinubu is in dilemma over the choice of political party for the 2027 general election. As the slated Friday May 30 meeting of the group to unveil the political party to be used to prosecute the transitional politics to unseat President Tinubu and the All Progressives Congress from power draws closer, it seems not much is yet achieved in deciding the choice of political party. The decision to make is whether to adopt the existing African Democratic Congress (ADC) led by Chief Okey Nwose or to register an entirely new political party, which is the All Democratic Alliance (ADA), as submitted to the group’s leadership.  According to inside sources, the major drivers for the adoption of the ADC are the former vice president, Atiku Abubukar, former governor of Edo State, John Oyegun, former governor of Osun Chief Rauf Aregbesola, former Attorney General and Minister for Justice, Abubukar Mala...
