From Revolution “Now” to Revolution “Wow”
It was indeed a shocking (read: wow) experience for the #RevolutionNow protesters on Wednesday, August 5, 2020, when the government directed security operatives to arrest them despite it being a peaceful protest. Na protest dem protest, dem no kill pesin! Protesting is a human right which is enshrined in the Nigerian constitution and it is unlawful to malign protesters who […]

Legislative Contractors: NDDC Web of Corruption
The Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Godswill Akpabio, has named some federal lawmakers who allegedly got contracts from the Niger Delta Development Commission (NCDC). The greasy mess at NDDC is huge and deep, but sad as that may be, it has become clear that the National Assembly is compromised. We call for an indpendent body led by a retired […]
Save Our Souls: Southern Kaduna
Sigh. On Tuesday, July 21st, the Presidency in a press release reduced the massacre in Kaduna to mere “revenge killing”. It further made excuses on why it had not succeeded in curbing insecurity in the region before condemning the killings. This is a belated response from the government as it had been mute ever since the killings started. You cannot keep absorbing militants and […]
