By Ikechukwu Amaechi EARLY this year, Mr. Damian Obiefule, Prof. Ben Nwabueze’s secretary, called to say Prof wanted to see me. I was elated. The last time I saw him was at the 2018 TheNiche Lecture at the Nigerian Institute of International Affairs, NIIA. He sacrificed all to be at that lecture, spending well over two hours on Third Mainland Bridge, even as his health was failing. In fact, I had pleaded with him two days earlier not to stress himself coming but he ignored my plea, insisting that he…

Read MorePendulum: Truth Tinubu Must Be Told
By Dele Momodu Fellow Nigerians, once again, this is not the best of times in our dear beloved country, Nigeria. After we had thought, gladly and gleefully, that no government could be worse than the recent Buhari administration, we are now confronted by yet another monstrosity. In less than two months in power, Tinubu’s government started collapsing whatever positive legacy Buhari left behind. Yet, we would have assumed and expected a President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to be far better prepared and more visionary than Buhari and his lacklustre team was.…

Read More6 Major Findings about Tinubu from the CSU Documents
By Farooq A. Kperogi Both pro- and anti-Tinubu news outlets and blogs are selectively reporting the documents that Chicago State University handed over to former Vice President Atiku Abubakar yesterday. Here are 6 non-partisan tidbits I discovered from poring over them: Chicago State University’s Office of the Registrar affirmed that Bola A. Tinubu indeed attended the university “from August 1977 through June 1979” and was “awarded a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration with Honors on June 22, 1979.” The registrar also swore to this under oath. The penalty for lying…
Read MoreNigerian President’s CSU Diploma Is Fake
By J. Coyden Palmer This diploma from Nigerian President Bola A. Tinubu is what was turned over to election officials in Nigeria and is now the subject of judicial proceedings here in the United States. Tinubu’s opponent, Atiku Abubakar has filed suit in the U.S. seeking clarification on its authenticity and is attempting to have the results of the election that was held in February overturned. I gotta admit. This one story shows the level of corruption in Nigeria and it makes you cry and laugh at the same time.…
Read MoreSaintly Virtues Of Rubby Emele
By Joseph Aniemeka Nwachukwu The personality of Hon (Mrs) Rubby Emele Imo State Commissioner for Ministry of Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs is benchmarked on the statement of German statesman Konrad Adenauer, who said thus, “we all live under the same sky, but we all do not have the same horizon”. This speaks of intuitive administrators like Hon. Rubby Emele who, with sense of panache and patriotism, envisaged what others don’t see now. Like Nostradamus, the man who saw tomorrow. Also, a notable leadership development expert, Myles Munroe observed that…

Read MoreTinubu Chicago State University Circus Show?
By Charles Born During these few days gone by, we have particularly harped on “A Lion In The Cage” as our THEME, not as a happenstance or it could be HAPPENING, but it has actually started happening already, life, direct, and in practical reality. The Falcon can no longer hear the Falconer anymore as the center doesn’t appear to be holding any longer. OH! How are the ‘mighty’ falling?!! What a disgraceful fall from ‘grace’ to a completely dead grass it may likely be at the fullness of time? Fellow…
