TWO days ago, I coined an appropriate acronym for the All Progressives Congress – “Another Problem Coming” – to the chagrin of the party’s media handlers, invoking the trauma of unrelenting tragedy APC/Tinubu administration foisted the nation, while employing uncanny jackboot strategy to silence and muffle dissenting voices. It’s shocking that the destruction of the … Read more
Disillusioned Nigerian masses feeling the pang of economic crunch occasioned by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s wrongheaded economic blueprints and fuel subsidy removal are already throwing spit into the air and collecting it with their face over the looming hunger protest slated for August 1st to 10th next week. Here are the conundrum: will President … Read more
THE All Progressives Congress (APC) has been redesignated as “Another Problem Coming” (APC) in Edo State, and has become calamitous in all parts of the country. Sentiments, potential biases and socio-political perceptions drool the party and its muted layback candidate, Senator Monday Okpebholo as leprous that should avoided like plagues – by all means, and … Read more
TWO major issues — among others — have been reeving, racking and cracking up the absurd government of insensitivity and banal impunity of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Presidency in the last 15 months that have conjoined to tank Nigerian economy.

That’s a story … Read more
AS President Bola Amhed Tinubu (PBAT) roll out drums in commemoration of democracy day today, he did not need retelling that the citizens – since he took office – have been reduced to a precarious and feral existence as they eke out a living like slum rats in the massive ruins of the Nigerian State. … Read more
In the massive ruins of the nation’s economy, it will be self-abnegation not to acknowledge the fact that the rejection of N62,000 or N100,000 minimum wage by the organized labour unions is a direct gloomy recipe for economic disaster for the suffering workers, the Nigerian State and the West Africa sub-region. It is heartwarming that … Read more
THE Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) and the Trade Union Congress (TUC) have been grappling with the federal government over workers’ rights, culminating in a nationwide strike. The question arises: is the strike action legal? The answer lies in the United Nations Charter, which Nigeria has ratified. Article 23 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights … Read more
THE Nigerian government’s claim that the organized labour unions failed to issue a 15-day strike notice is baseless and hypocritical.
