For 58 years, the Nigerian nation has failed to live up to its full potential.

On February 16th, 2019, Nigerians will go to the polls to elect a new President. For 58 years, the Nigerian nation has failed to live up to its full potential. While the Nigerian people are creative, dynamic, energetic, hard working and competent, we have been burdened with leadership that does not match the rich and immense potential of the nation or the abilities of its people.

The national question in Nigeria - Part 2 Nigeria’s fledgling democracy appeared to be on course until it was violently torpedoed by some misguided military officers in the first military coup in the country in January 1966. The coup involved the killing of the Prime Minister of Nigeria, Alhaji Abubakar Tafawa Balewa and several high ranking civilian and military officers in the country. The coup leader, late Major Chukwuma Kaduna Nzeogwu was however quickly shoved aside by superior officers who were not part of the planning and execution of the coup. Whatever might have been the revolutionary zeal of the plotters, they had no opportunity to show it. By the Constitution (Suspension and Modification) Decree No. 1 of 1966, the Federal Military Government assumed “power to make laws for the peace, order and good government of Nigeria or any part thereof with respect to any matter whatsoever.” This was a classic case of displacement of goals as the Nigerian Armed Forces took o...

Nigerians React: Lil Kesh, Olamide Glorify Money Ritual In "Logo Benz"? Everything you need to live well Flenjo crooner Lil Kesh teamed up with former record label boss Olamide in a new song ‘Logo Benz.’ While the two are known for their hits or what Olamide prefers to describe as back to back hits, this new song does not seem to settle well with lovers of music. While the Nigerian music scene is filled with artistes with little or no regard for the art or people with lyrical content or low value, the two who are known to have properly represented the streets for a long time have dropped to an all time low with this heat. Now, herein lies the problem, the intro in Logo Benz is a plea to Jesus to bless them with money to buy Benz but “If money no enter i go do blood money.” Recall that Olamide’s Science Student was banned by the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) because it encouraged the use of drugs which Olamide explained was contra...
