Understanding why wailers are after Gov Zulum
By Philip Agbese Bigoted partisans have come to free reign in Nigeria. Very unconscionably and irresistibly, these partisan lees which have populated Nigeria delight in politicizing national security. It is the only explication which sufficiently accounts for their unbearably selfish outrage and mouthing of inanities on resurgence of insecurities in the country. These dregs in […]
ICC and its macabre dance
By Richard Murphy The International Criminal Court (ICC) finally lost it. The decision of its outgoing prosecutor, Fatou Bensouda, to investigate Nigeria’s Security Forces for human rights abuses and the equivalent of war crimes is one that the officials of that institution should have better weighed and advise against. Bensouda’s desperation to score achievements before […]

The group said it came to this conclusion after a thorough review of the circumstances […]
Nigerian Army and General Buratai’s drive on infrastructure
By Thomas Uzah PhD It will be twisted logic and misplaced sense of judgment of the exact reality to assert that the Nigerian Army is having good times in infrastructural provisions under the supervision of its current Chief of Army Staff (COAS) Lt. Gen. Tukur Yusuf Buratai. It is more appropriate to say, the Nigerian […]
Religious Intolerance: Christian group rejects US blacklisting of Nigeria
Some Christian youths have rejected the United States’ designation of Nigeria as one of the religious intolerant countries in the world.
