PDP: A hysterical, tabloid opposition

Admin

Many are disappointed with the ruling party. The opposition has been presented a ridiculous opportunity. But a bleary-eyed, voluble, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has allowed beer-parlor habits distract it from diligent purposeful oppositional politics. The PDP has remained perpetually excited, intoxicated. The PDP sees itself as an inevitable choice of a frustrated electorate. The PDP is naive. It welcomes every scandal with revelry. It manufactures scandals when genuine ones dry up. It weaponizes misfortunes. It demonizes shortcomings. It interprets every failure of governance at the centre hyperbolically. It is unfettered…

The reasons Nigeria must wake up fast

Admin

Fellow Nigerians, please, permit me to say it as bluntly and categorically as possible, our dear country, Nigeria, the giant of Africa, is slumbering and snoring deeply.

They can continue to deceive President Muhammadu Buhari and although he can continue to suffer under their hypnotic spell for a long time, he would one day wake up to appreciate people like us telling him the unadulterated truth.
