The underdevelopment of Ijebu-Jesa, my Native Nazareth 1: By abiodun KOMOLAFE

The underdevelopment of Ijebu-Jesa, my Native Nazareth 1: By abiodun KOMOLAFE

I am an angry Nigerian! I am angry because Ijebu-Jesa, my hometown, is a town where the past and present intersect in a complex blend of tradition and modernity. The headquarters of Oriade Local Government in Osun State seems to be struggling to find its footing, and it is as if my Native Nazareth is stuck in a time warp where progress and stagnation coexist in an uneasy balance.

Rethinking Nigeria’s Economic Challenges Beyond Narrative of Hard Work – Emeka Kalu Replies OUK

Dear Senator Orji Uzor Kalu, I am compelled to respond to your recent assertion that Nigerians are not used to working hard.

Dialogue With Biafra Agitators or Risk Southeast Capture by Opposition Forces – Ohanaeze Warns Tinubu

...SAYS; RELYING ON LIP-SERVICE ENDORSEMENTS OF IGBO GOVERNORS IS DETRIMENTAL. As President Bola Ahmed Tinubu commemorates his second year in office, the Apex Igbo Sociocultural Organization, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, issues a forthright appeal to the Federal Government to embark upon a critical dialogue with Nonviolent Pro Biafra leaders. This moment represents perhaps the singular opportunity in 55 years to definitively resolve the protracted Biafra conflict—a goal that has eluded generations.  Regrettably, the Federal Government's continued reluctance to engage with these Biafran leaders constitutes one of its gravest failures, a miscalculation that could culminate in significant repercussions for the region and the…

2027: No decision has been made yet; Atiku’s coalition names Lukman and rejects embracing ADC.

The opposition alliance that intends to remove President Bola Tinubu in 2027 has refuted allegations that it recently became a member of the African Democratic Congress, or ADC. According to reports that surfaced on Wednesday, the opposition factions led by former vice president Atiku Abubakar recently convened and agreed to run for office on the ADC platform. According to the sources, the alliance has named Salihu Lukman, a former vice chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) North-West, as its head of secretariat. But in a statement released Thursday in Abuja, Lukman, who is now the projected coalition's spokesperson, revealed that…
