It is yesterday. The pain from the death of my friend lingers. It weighs me down. I hardly sleep through the night with a headache. I am thinking of the meaninglessness of life, of human mortality, and the inevitability of death that ‘will come, when it will come’. I wake early. My heart is pounding…
The sole administrator of Rivers, Ibok-Ete Ibas, has approved the appointment of administrators for the 23 local government areas of the state. The development comes less than 24 hours after a federal high court in Port Harcourt restrained him from appointing administrators for the councils. In a statement, Ibibia Worika, secretary to the state government…
The Transition Monitoring Group, TMG, has expressed disappointment over the Senate’s poor investigation of sexual allegations levelled against the President of the Senate, God’swill Akpabio by Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan. In a statement signed by the Chairman, TMG, Awual Rafsanjani, the TMG pointed out that Akpoti-Uduaghan clearly alleged that there were underlying issues that led to…
One thing is sure. The history of the Senate, nay, the history of law making in Nigeria will never be written without that compound name: Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan.

He was one of Nigeria’s greatest musicians. Read what he said about his story in an interview published by Modern Ghana in 2025 below: I started first with Igbo music called Ekpili at the age of 17. That was in 1965. We were only two, Alexander Emelumonye and myself. In 1970, after the civil war,…
The inauguration of Mr. Tolu Falayi , the Director of Protocol to the Governor of Ekiti State as the Captain of Ekiti Golf Club was not only a successful event but also a significant blessing for Ekiti State. For many, events like this might seem like mere jamborees—glitzy gatherings organized by some affluent individuals. However,…
The Nigerian film industry, best known as Nollywood, has been a major force in the nation’s creative industry, carving out a niche for entertainment and serving as a vital tool for social advancement. As one of the largest film industries globally, Nollywood not only entertains millions but also serves as a window into Nigeria’s varied…
“Apparently, Senator Natasha had been bottling in a number of grievances against her colleagues, especially the Senate President, Senator Godswill Akpabio. She then went on to make allegations of sexual harassment against the Senate President on national television.” Over the past two weeks, we have witnessed a number of events at the Nigerian Senate, which…
I like the power show in the Lagos State House of Assembly. It all goes back to Rule No1 of Power in Robert Greene’s 48 Laws of Power. For those who orchestrated the removal of Mudasiru Obasa, it seemed like a done deal the moment the Speaker was ousted. Yet, in their execution, they overlooked…
You cannot quarrel about how a man tells his story. It is his business. However, the pseudo-autobiography of the former military president, General Ibrahim Babangida, is more than the retired general telling a story of his own life. A Journey in Service is a long, tortuous journey to penitence, which arrives at its destination, if…
