Like I have always said, President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan of Nigeria is a good man. His administration will be ending on the 29th May 2015. But please Sir, before you leave, do everything humanly and spiritually possible to give Nigeria fuel. It will be very sad to do otherwise because Nigerians may still require your […]
By Muhammad Ajah – How was a President called Muhammad Hosni El-Sayed Mubarak sentenced to prison for corruption, nay stealing, as defined by a Nigerian President? Does Egypt have the wealth that can attract stealing by its leaders? Is this the Egypt that I lived in for nine years when poverty moved on its streets […]
By Muhammad Ajah – I always feel enthused with the words of the executive governor of Imo state, Chief Owelle Rochas Okorocha about the President-Elect, General Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR. Chief Rochas was the first to name GMB the Igbo name Okechukwu. This is a name that is highly favoured and jealously guarded in Igbo land. […]
By Muhammad Ajah – Like a ‘man of God’, he suddenly began to prophesy. Like a prodigal son, he suddenly realized the efficacy of parenthood. And like a love-spoilt, he is bracing up with the reality in woo-manhood. I earnestly appeal to those who are close to the outgoing President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan to counsel […]
By Austin Omoriodion – The 2015 general elections have come and gone. It is no longer news that the polls recorded one of the biggest political upsets in Africa. For the first time since it’s creation in 1998, Peoples Democratic Party, a party that prides itself as the largest party in Africa, suffered a crushing […]
Written by Obinna Akukwe @ObinnaAkukwe – Yaradua! Wake Up! Nigeria is still boiling. I want to use this opportunity of commemorating the 5th year of your demise to tell you that you have slept enough. Since January, I counted the time till this day to wake you up as usual on this anniversary of your […]
By Akintokunbo A Adejumo – As we move closer to handover day to a brand new Federal Government of Nigeria on 29 May 2015, with a mixture of optimism and trepidation, if Nigerians (whether you voted for Buhari or not) think that the problems that have besieged and dragged Nigeria down for several inglorious decades […]
By Prof R. A. Ipinyomi, University of Ilorin, Nigeria The entire world around us is in total shambles and Nigeria is certainly no exception. In fact we believe that the situations in Nigeria may have put her at the bottom of the scale of development ladder in many areas. The disparity between what Nigeria should […]
By Prof. R.A. Ipinyomi, University of Ilorin, Nigeria As Nigeria rolls on to change its leadership from Goodluck Ebele Jonathan (GEJ) to General Muhammad Buhari (GMB) on May 29, 2015 the question of what the future holds for Nigeria and its people become most paramount. Indeed the entire world is turning upside down and the […]
Written by Obinna Akukwe @ObinnaAkukwe Yar’adua , Nigeria’s fourth democratically selected president. Yar’adua , Nigeria’s most unassuming president. Yar’adua , Nigeria’s most frail president. Yar’adua , Nigeria’s most educated president . Yar’adua , Nigeria’s only president with leftist ideology. The manner of your exit equals the manner of your entrance. Mysterious appearance and mysterious disappearance. […]
By Muhammad Ajah – If it were that man learns from events of every day, by now some churches or spiritual houses of many Nigerians and Africans would have been deserted by their followers. This is simply because the prophets of those acclaimed houses of worship have proved beyond doubt that their gods or their […]
By Uche Igwe – Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results Albert Einstein Since the first part of this article was published last week, many persons have contacted me from far and wide to respond to its contents. It is interesting that many people felt that what I […]
Leo Igwe – People across the world are slowing being coerced into treating Islam with ‘respect’ or better with fear. We are gradually getting to a point where criticising the Islamic faith is a form of death sentence. The reason which some people give for this ugly development is that ‘Many people believe in Islam’ They […]
By Muhammad Ajah – President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, GCFR, would have made history when he hands over power to the President-Elect of Nigeria, General Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR, on 29th May, 2015 according to the nation’s constitution, not on 28th May, 2015. Whatever people may say and however these episodes of the general elections may have […]
By Leonard Karshima Shilgba – In 2009, Bishop Desmond Tutu was on the campus of the American University of Nigeria as a guest speaker. In his speech, he apologized to Nigerians for the xenophobic attacks on black Africans the previous year. More than five years later today, South Africans are shamelessly slaughtering their fellow African brothers […]
FROM IGNATIUS OKPARA, Enugu – Since the inception of the nation’s ongoing democratic rule, on May 29, 1999, the Enugu state House of Assembly had been synonymous with its docile, inactive, and toothless bulldog nature. Ordinarily, legislators, be it at the state or national level, ought to be men of sound minds charged with making […]
By Inibehe Effiong – Since Monday the 20th of April, 2015 there has been no electricity supply at the University of Uyo Teaching Hospital (UUTH), Uyo, Akwa Ibom State.

By Tajudeen Balogun, Head, African Examiner, Nigeria Bureau Truth is constant. It is natural and fundamental. In a way, truth can be likened to foundation of a building, suggesting that whatever its state looks like, will certainly be evident and determine the quality and live-span of the structure. In contrary, deceits are weak and often […]
There’s absolutely nothing about Nigeria that defies remedy. Not even its politics, as the last elections have well proved. It’s possible that Buhari’s supporters, like am, have reduced Nigeria’s complexities into a sweet, soft, lolly pop. Buhari’s euphoric victory at the polls, soon dies out, as he begins to navigate the multifaceted layers of Nigeria’s […]
By Aminu Mohammed – The April 11 Governorship elections in Gombe have been won and loss. But, like a huge stone cast into a still ocean, it has continued to generate spiral effects across the length and breadth of the state. And this is understandably so for many reasons. First, it reawakens the pending issues […]
