Now back to my destination? I once recently engaged a friend on the disconnect between most presidents and their people. As I opined above, most literature that I have come across, and the perception of most citizens globally centers on the personalities of their leaders, glossing over the seemingly innocuous question [...]
As remarked in the last edition of this column, I salute the President on the recent decisions made. As at the date of the publication, the major decision was the suspension of the Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, and the referral of the corruption allegation to the Economic and [...]
Mr. President made my day when on Monday, the 8th day of January, 2024 he announced the suspension of the Minister of Humanitarian Affairs, Dr Betta Edu. Certainly, this does not imply a proven indictment of the Minister in the imbroglio surrounding the illegal transfer of the sum in excess of five [...]
As I welcome us all to the new year, I wish each and everyone of us a pleasurable and happy new year in good health and contentment. I have consciously qualified the wish with ‘contentment’ as the conventional wish always revolves round prosperity which I believe is part of the challenge [...]

As indicated in the last edition of this column “Presidential declaration of state of emergency: A must! https://sunnewsonline.com/presidential-declaration-of-state-of-emergency-a-must/”, there is severe hunger in the land and all hands must be on deck towards guaranteeing food security, and ensuring food surplus in order to stave off any untoward eventuality. Beyond all that has [...]
By the above, I certainly do not mean what an average Nigerian would construe the title to connote. It is certainly neither referring nor demanding the dissolution of any political structure, as easily perceived in our clan. I know that the perception of the title in the context of our polity [...]
On a number of occasions in the past, I have addressed the issue of astronomical and debilitating cost of governance in Nigeria. For instance, in the edition of this column on September 22, 2022 “Cost of governance, Nigeria’s albatross https://www.sunnewsonline.com/cost-of-governance-nigerias-albatross” and in July, 2023 “Mr. President: X-Raying Oronsaye report for implementation https://sunnewsonline.com/mr-president-x-raying-oronsaye-report-for-implementation”, [...]
