How US frustrated Nigeria in Boko Haram war – GDPN Presidential candidate, Akhimien

Dr. Davidson Isibor Akhimien, the presidential candidate of Grassroots Development Party of Nigeria (GDPN) in an interview with DAILY POST in Abuja explained that the US deliberately denied the country of arms purchase to confront insecurity in Nigeria. The former Intelligence Chief in the Nigerian Army said, the Army lacked modern equipment and training to fight insurgency and other forms of criminalities.   Excerpts: As the 2019 general elections draw close amid heightened insecurity, how do you intend to tackle insecurity differently from the way the current government is doing? I am going to tackle insecurity from two major fronts which are going to be quite a departure from the style the present government is adopting.  Like I always say, we are going to tackle insecurity of terrorism in the Northeast, Nigeria.  I am going to have it from the domestic political economy and international political economy.  We are going to be looking at our m...

Post-PMB: Can Arewa confront its underbelly?

-

[FILE] President Muhammadu Buhari (middle) and members of Arewa Pastors Non-Denominational Initiative for Peace in Abuja…recently. PHOTO: PHILLIP OJISUA Although the futuristic question of: “After PMB, what next for Arewa?” may sound simply farfetched, in reality. It is not. When PMB won the 2015 election, indeed ever since he ventured back to partisan politics, most of the hopes and expectations from the masses, especially in the core North, were heaped on this singular soul, as if he had a magic wand, like Moses, who could magically transform their lives as soon as he assumed power. This perceived expectations, with its extreme version exhibited by die-hard and sometimes almost-‘psychopathic’ loyalists, is reminiscent of the pre-historic stories of the type of worship exhibited by the post-Sokoto Jihad generation of illiterates, who in their blind groping of their faith continued to cling to an unfathomable mirage that their Shehu’s death (a la matyrdom) translates to their...

Falz: Receive Your Immoral Instructions

I was in that room when Falz made the statement, “I detest transactional sex.” I was the person who recorded that video and released it on the internet. Was Falz wrong to state a personal opinion? Did he misfire with his candid truth about his preferences? Did he make a mistake? Falz I love Falz. I love his art. I love his brand. He makes music that has always been multi-layered. His raps, his endless forays into the grey areas of storytelling, and the courage to carry through with music that provides more than just a good feeling is a dying art. From his debut album, ‘Wazup Guy’ through ‘Stories That Touch’ and ‘27’, listeners have had a sense that this is a journey that we are all on, with the man. Two songs off of his ‘27’ album – ‘Child of the world’ and ‘Confirm’ carried a lot of weight because they touched on the perils of transactional sex and internet fraud (Yahoo Yahoo). The former struck deep because he made it a single, and invited the world into his mental space...

OOU STRIKE: Desperate Memo To Governor Amosun By Festus Ogun - See more at: http://www.naijaloaded.com.ng/2015/12/16/oou-strike-desperate

For time ‘immemorial’, the issue of Strike has been part and parcel of Nigerian higher institutions of learning in general and Olabisi Onabanjo University, Ago-Iwoye in particular. On Wednesday last week, the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), OOU chapter embarked on an indefinite strike due to the non payment of fifteen months salary subventions, earned entitlement and non funding of the University. On hearing this sad news, the first thing that ran through my mind was the advise an elderly man gave me while I was obtaining my JAMB form last year. He encouraged me not to choose OOU as my university choice. He stressed that the school is internationally known for strike. Since strike is no prayer of any student he advises me to run away from the institution. I turned deaf ears! In fact, I’ve heard several news of how the school used a whole year for a semester. This is not encouraging. I mean, it is a ‘song of a goat’; a complete tragedy! But sir, since the slogan and mission...
