History and experience show that growing into adulthood without meaningful education, vocational skills, or a clear sense of purpose is daunting. Young people in such situations are more susceptible to negative influences and lost opportunities. Society has witnessed too many of these cases, where early intervention might have changed the outcome.
By Tariladei Osi Dear Ateke Tom, Asari Dokubo, Kingsley Kuku, Government Tompolo, and the leadership of IYC, INC, MEND, PANDEF, and others; this question is asked with deep pain and sincere concern. If you were to stand today before the late Isaac Adaka Boro, would he be proud of the current state of the Ijaw…
Some are talking of invasion. Again I ask, in view of the fact that the Nigerian government is part of this operation, are you accusing the Nigerian government of being complicit in the invasion of Nigeria?
By Darlington Onyebuchi Agoha Your Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu,While it is unquestionably your constitutional prerogative to appoint individuals of your choice into public office, history will ultimately judge the legacy you leave behind. Sir, Nigerians are compelled to ask: what is the rationale and objective behind the reported nomination of Professor Mahmud Yakubu as…
If the court permits these witnesses to testify, the proceedings could expose uncomfortable truths about governance, law enforcement, and political accountability—while also putting pressure on the Tinubu administration amid renewed calls from the Southeast for Kanu’s release.
“Kanu’s detention isn’t just personal injustice; it’s a tinderbox. Southeast insecurity as observed in attacks on police, and the “sit-at-home” paralysis worsened post-rendition, costing billions and lives. Releasing him de-escalates, fostering dialogue as urged by RULAAC’s 2025 Enugu Summit.

Whether through community engagements, social interventions, or gestures of personal goodwill, his acts of kindness have resonated with those most in need of support.
What should have been a modest milestone in a life ostensibly dedicated to public service has instead morphed into a multi-phase extravaganza, spanning cities within Nigeria and reportedly extending beyond its borders, all funded at least in substantial part—by the very taxpayers whose plight the NDDC was established to alleviate.
It is high time we conducted another census to obtain reliable, verifiable, and up-to-date data for informed planning and policymaking. The upcoming Population and Housing Census, which will be a digital and biometric-based exercise, will certainly lay a solid foundation for evidence-based national planning and the implementation of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda.
It was a calculated maneuver. The cases were deliberately fixed for hearing at the same time and on the same day, coincidentally listed as number three on the cause list of two separate courts, one before Justice M.S.
