Buhari Now on Life Support, Fayose Claims.

Ekiti State Governor Ayodele Fayose has said that President Muhammadu Buhari does not only have voice impairment but has been on a life support since June 6, at a West-End, London Hospital. Fayose said while he does not in any way wish Buhari dead, he had to put the record straight because of the President’s Ramadan message to Nigerians. While he called on the Presidency to stop deceiving Nigerians with Buhari’s state of health, Fayose called on any one who disagrees with him on Buhari’s current state of health to produce him to Nigerians within the next 48 hours. This was contained in a statement he signed and released on Wednesday, adding that the wife of Buhari, Mrs Aisha was not allowed to see her husband during her last visit to the United Kingdom. The statement read, “Today, it makes 53 days since our President; Muhammadu Buhari left Nigeria to attend to his health challenges abroad. No official information as to his whereabouts and his state of health. “Like every oth...

Restructuring by Pius Adesanmi

Nigerians are all talking about restructuring. Now, that is funny. There are two types of Nigerians: those in government and those awaiting their turn in government. Forget all the talk about the size and potential of Nigeria’s economy. Forget all the talk about business, entrepreneurship, innovation, and the rise of a vibrant new demographic of creators defying the odds to crystallize into a 21st-century transnational elite.

In Nigerian life, there is no creativity, no aspiration, no vision, no mission, no genius, and no dream beyond “joining government”. The sum total of national life is nothing but an endless footsy playing between those in government an...

The Pulpit Cannot Save Nigeria by Omoruyi Uwuigiaren

I am a practical Christian. I don't go with the crowd.  Rather I swim against it.  I was excited about the Hallelujah Challenge because I thought it was going to restore power supply and bring down cost of living in Nigeria.  Also, I thought after the session, God was going to send His angels to grab Saraki, the Senate President and dump him in jail. And then kill all the corrupt politicians in Nigeria. But God did not move in Nigeria because He was in China attending to people  who are trying to make the world a better place. In my area alone, there are over 500 churches and yet most of the roads that lead to them are deplorable. Do you know why? Your church is less concerned about the world around them and they have become less influential in the scheme of things. Most churches have lost their charm. If they cannot fix their street, they cannot influence Nigeria for good.  Most pastors are emotional and selfish. They are more concerned about the spac...
