History in Nigeria does not just repeat, it bleeds. On July 27, 2006, the “Soul of Lagos” was arguably buried with Funsho Williams, a man whose only crime was being the most credible threat to the burgeoning political machine of then-Governor Bola Ahmed Tinubu. Fast forward to February 24, 2026, and the target has moved from a state to the […]
If the Nigerian government truly wanted to end the insurgency that has bled this nation dry for nearly two decades, the cemeteries would be full of terrorists, not the IDP camps. Instead, we are witnessing the institutionalization of what can only be described as Nigeria’s terrorism industry. From the extraction of “repentant” Terrorist via private jets to the distribution of […]
In the heated theater of Nigerian politics, we often confuse rank with power. We see a Vice President in Abuja and assume they sit at the pinnacle of executive authority. But if we peel back the curtain of the 1999 Constitution, a startling reality emerges, one that political enthusiasts might find uncomfortable. When it comes to executive functionality, a State […]
For decades, the Nigerian political landscape has been a playground for the unaffected 1%. From the high-stakes power shift of 2015 to the current “Renewed Hope” era of 2026, the story remains the same: a small circle of elite billionaires deciding the fate of 200+ million people from the comfort of Private Jets, Banquet Halls and Fortified Mansions. But as […]

But a chilling pattern suggests a much darker reality. Behind the closed doors of international diplomacy, it appears the path to Aso Rock doesn’t start in Lagos or Abuja, it starts at the iconic black […]
In the theater of Nigerian politics, irony often takes center stage. But few performances are as audacious as the recent claims surrounding the electronic transmission of election results in Abia State. As we look toward the 2027 Presidential and General elections, a familiar ghost has returned to the airwaves: the claim that rural Nigeria is “not ready” for digital transparency. […]
The streets of Abuja are vibrating today with a familiar, yet evolved, energy. For years, the Nigerian state has operated under the assumption that the resilience of its youth is a finite resource. That it can be broken by force or outlasted by time. But as thousands gather at the National Assembly everyday, for the #OccupyNASS 2026 protest, it is […]
For decades, the “Jagaban” (Ja a gabar Borgu: A title actually from Northern Nigeria) brand was built on the myth of the “Master Strategist”, the political grandmaster who always moved three steps ahead. But as of the realities of 2026, that myth has been dragged through the mud and left for dead. In the markets of Lagos, the motor parks […]
