Nigeria Cannot Afford Luxuries During an Austerity – Atiku

It is to my consternation that despite the crash in the price of oil, and the inability of Nigeria to expand our revenue base through the non-oil sector, the Federal Government of Nigeria has only seen fit to slash our budget by a mere 0.6%, from ₦10.594 trillion to ₦ 10.523 trillion. This represents a reduction of only ₦71 billion. Putting politics aside, this is … Continue reading Nigeria Cannot Afford Luxuries During an Austerity – Atiku

Opinion: Averting the road to Venezuela – By Femi Adesina

Let’s tell the story of Venezuela because it bears striking similitude with that of Nigeria. Just like us, Venezuela is rich in oil, very rich. At a time, the county’s problem was not money, but how to spend it. Just like Nigeria. And quite like us again, the South American country did not look inwards. It planted nothing, did not invest in agriculture, since there … Continue reading Opinion: Averting the road to Venezuela – By Femi Adesina

Opinion: Abba Kyari’s Death, End of a Surrogate Presidency, and the Coming Chaos – By Farooq Kperogi

To say I was shocked by Abba Kyari’s death would be to tell a lie. Being an asthmatic patient who routinely had “breathing problems” that necessitated periodic trips to London hospitals—in addition to being a diabetic who was older than 65—it would have been nothing short of miraculous if he survived COVID-19. In spite of who he was, especially the last five years of his … Continue reading Opinion: Abba Kyari’s Death, End of a Surrogate Presidency, and the Coming Chaos – By Farooq Kperogi

Opinion : PDP should stop their campaign of disorganization – By Garba Shehu

Something must definitely be wrong with Peoples Democratic Party ( PDP) if they would-as they did yesterday- dismiss the important national broadcast by President Muhammadu Buhari as “disappointing,” a speech for which the European Union, through their Ambassador to Nigeria, congratulated the President, describing it as ‘‘a very powerful address to the nation last night.” But by no means is this the first shocker for … Continue reading Opinion : PDP should stop their campaign of disorganization – By Garba Shehu
