The ugly National Assembly and beautiful Nigerian roads

by Guest writer

No doubt, it is only when lawmakers discuss in a building with the most up-to-date interior design and perfectly working air conditioners that their brains can be in a condition to function well, to think critically, and arrive at more creative methods to carry out their legislative functions.

With all the condolence letters, none was sent to Mr Democracy’s family

by Guest writer

When we retrieved the autopsy of Democracy, we found out he was poisoned to death by tyranny. Ah! Tyranny! Tyranny that killed Democracy’s uncle, sisters and in-laws in Cameron, Zimbabwe, Tigo, Uganda and the likes.

If you end up educating the entire Oyo State in your first four years, how then do you intend to win re-election in 2023?

Man to Martyr: The ‘Soworape’ of the Rule of Law.

by Guest writer

Umu Nigeria, Freedom is not free, the press can’t be allowed to report freely because their owners are either enemies of the government or potential enemies, people like Sowore and co. The people do not deserve a collective power because they don’t know what they want. If you don’t know that N30,000 is more than enough to sustain a family of six for over a month, how then do you know what is good for you?
