While many would have thought that the seeming masculine stature of the former first lady of the United States of America is a mere coincidence in time and circumstances. However, many people have chosen to find out the truth. While the truth may yet be far away; somethings are connecting together – thus, suggesting the possibility of the claim that Barack Obama was and is indeed a gay. Nigerians are still much aware of the role he played towards making the Nigerian Parliament accept gay marriage in Nigeria. In fact, he went as far as preventing the FG from acquiring the…

From 1999 to 2015, Nigeria was ruled (governed or administrated) by the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP). Quite frankly, many changes were witnessed from the days of President Obasanjo (when salaries of workers skyrocketed, mobile telecommunication became a reality, Abuja city was greatly developed) to President Shehu Musa (when Militants were attended to) to President Jonathan (when the Movie industry boomed and Agriculture began to contribute more to the GDP). Obviously, more than any Nigerian might want to admit, the situation of Nigeria changed significantly (for the better) under the 16 years reign of the PDP. Just around 2014, the wave…

LONDON – The Queen of Britain, Her Royal Majesty Queen Elizabeth II has sent message of condolence to the family of Nigeria’s President Muhammadu Buhari and the people of Nigeria. There are no official reports on the speculated death of the President and the message of condolence from the British Monachy has put Nigerians in state of despair. Two sources close to the Presidency have said the President has passed on and that the photos circulating online are those from his previous visit. Another London source says PM Theresa May has visited the NigeriaAmbassador tothe UK. In a message of…

While am aware of the possible resistance of many politicians to this proposition, it is an obvious solution to our failing health sector in Nigeria. State Governors (serving and former) and their families have benefited from State-Sponsored medical trips to countries like Germany, Spain, India and UK. Obviously, Presidents (serving and former) enjoy FG-sponsored medical trips outside the borders of Nigeria. While this culture looks harmless on the surface, it has become the major clog in the wheel of progress of the health system of Nigeria. Why should the State Governors allocate the required percentage of their annual budget on…

An impediment to the quest for the full return of history to schools is our fear of excavating the seamy past of our heroes. We want history to be returned to our schools so that we can learn about our past and its avatars and draw some useful lessons for an effective response to our contemporary challenges. But we are trapped in the tragic paradox of the fear of being confronted with the foibles and peccadilloes of the past heroes who shaped our history. This paradox is amply expressed in the warning not to speak ill of the dead. We…

Nigeria is surely not an island and Nigeria is not existing out of time; hence we cannot claim to be ignorant of what is done else outside of shores. In many nations of the world, the health of the leaders is the “cup of tea” of the people. And in most cases, nations are led to prayers for the health and quick recovery of their leaders. However, in Nigeria, Nigerians find it hard to pray for the President – cause they do not know how he feels and his state of health. In UK sometime ago, there were concerns over…

While an average Nigerian is aware of the role played by the Minister of Information (Mr Lai Mohammed) in the emergence of General Muhammadu Buhari as the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria; Mr Lai Mohammed is also expected to know his bounds and limits with regards to his responsibility within the Presidency.  The truth is, Nigerians did not vote for the “Presidency”, we only voted massively for General Muhammadu Buhari – he chose to work with them as co-servants of Nigerians at the highest level of governance. We therefore think it is out of place for anyone in…

Muhammadu Buhari GCFR (born 17 December 1942) is the President of Nigeria, in office since 2015. He is a retired Major General in the Nigerian Army and previously served as the nation’s Head of State from 31 December 1983 to 27 August 1985, after taking power in a military coup d’état. The term Buharism is ascribed to the Buhari military government. He unsuccessfully ran for the office of President in the 2003, 2007 and 2011 general elections. In December 2014, he emerged as the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress for the March 2015 general elections. Buhari won the election,…

For those of us that have watched numerous quality movies produced by the American Hollywood; see pictures of Donald Trump and Mike Pence could inject us with some thoughts. Thoughts like, “Would Hollywood choose Donald Trump over Mike Pence for the role of Mr President in an action movie series?”, “Can Donald Trump make the most call on the Nuclear war heads than Mike Pence?” and so on. While the American people have voted Donald Trump as the President of United States of America; Hollywood might choose Mike Pence for role of the President of the United States of America…

Donald Trump, the Republican President-elect, chose Mike Pence as his vice-presidential running mate earlier this year. The Indiana governor, 57, has had a long career in political office, but has a fairly small profile outside his home state. Here’s what you need to know about him: From Democrat to conservative radio host Mike Pence with his wife Karen and daughter Charlotte earlier this month CREDIT: AP Mike Pence was raised a Democrat by Irish-Catholic parents in Indiana, and considered John F Kennedy one of his first heroes. His conversion to born-again Christianity, and the influence of Ronald Reagan, saw him shift…
