She has become the cynosure of all eyes, even mine. Everyone wants to hear from her. Media houses are falling on top of each other to interview her. She is exposing what we already know about the All Progressives Party (APC); also known as All Promises Cancelled.
He is the JAMB registrar. He claims Nigerians are over-educated. He was reacting to a plea to reduce JAMB’s fee from 3,500 to a lower fee. Let me give you the background. In an interactive session with senior journalists, editors and columnists in Lagos, participants drew the attention of Oloyede to the fact that some…
In case you don’t know the nature of Nigeria’s prebendal politics, Tinubu going to Buhari is a good case study. It is better we open our eyes, they have started again. The excruciating sufferings of the masses is never their problem.How ASO Villa became APC Secretariat calls for serious investigation. When it became a wrestling…
My problem with Sowore is with his indecent conclusion—the conclusion that sanctioning indecent dressing is as a result of indecent reasoning. This is outrageous. He sees Western Civilization which prioritizes and extols nudity as yardstick to determine what is right and wrong in Nigeria
I wrote about the Prophet on this page last week. As if it was an inspiration, I will have to continue with the same theme. Though my initial plan was to discuss a different thing entirely, but I dont know how not to put my weight behind the Prophet (SAW). Really, we live in a…
By Abu Mar’yam Hanafi Abdulkadri Nowadays, the rate at which Muslim men abuse the practice of polygamy (polygyny) is likely unprecedented in history. In Northern Nigeria, polygamy has become more of customary practice than a socio-religious responsibility. Many Muslims in Yorubaland who subscribe to plural marriages are equally abusing this right. And sadly enough, this…
By Abdulkadir Salaudeen Many consider the ongoing debate on the status of donkeys in Nigeria amazing. Do not think it is an oversight. Perhaps I mean to say ‘cow’ or ‘cattle’. It is not an oversight. I really mean it, donkeys. Yes! Donkeys! It was on Tuesday on the floor of the Senate during the…
In case it is new to you, certificate racketeering is an illegal means of acquiring certificate that does not belong to you or for which you have not worked for and earned. But could anyone in Nigeria claim to be ignorant of this? It is similar to certificate forgery. Now you understand. It is a…
Throughout its exertion to promote the development of various sectors, the Kwara state government has pursued a fairly consistent economic policy. This policy has two main elements; first, the state has sought to create an environment conducive to the growth of private enterprises, among both indigenous and foreign investors; second, it has intervened through the…
It is funny to link failure of government to evil forces. Witches and wizards are everywhere; not only in Nigeria. China remains a traditional society; and you know what I mean. Yet they are a leading economy in the world. Islam acknowledges the existence of evil forces for us to take precaution against them; not…
By Abdulkadir Salaudeen Hmmm! Wonder shall never end. Ahmad Isah, the founder of the Brekete family show, slapped a woman in a viral video for setting her child, whom she believed to be witch, on fire. May be she is not aware that governments are now urged to seek the help of witches…
It is regrettable that I chose to begin this write up on a sad note. I do not have any alternative though I would have liked one. What best define our existence in Northern Nigeria today is sadness, melancholiness, insecurity, and what have you. Going by the world map and the common usage in the…
By Abdulkadir Salaudeen Let’s start with some philosophical questions: are women owned by men when they are married? If yes, it would be right if they bore the names of their owners (husbands). If no, they should retain the names of their fathers who incontrovertibly owned them and gave them out in marriage. The next…
By Abdulkadir Salaudeen Despite the overshadowing hardship that envelops most of us, it is still a hilarious experience to be a Nigerian in Nigeria. Our politicians are adept at using sledge hammers on us (the vulnerable) to stifle souls out of us and condemn us to poverty, through their unfavourable policies. But at the same…
This is mass abduction taken to the next level. It is unprecedented, certainly in Nigeria, and probably in the globe.
Actually it is number plate; not ‘plate number’. But in the territory of the global village which I write from, it is commonly called ‘plate number’. It is ungrammatical and a serious breach of grammatical rule that would definitely nauseate a native speaker of English. It is a serious crime in language. It is like…
Forget the version of Sherlock Holmes movie both the son and daughter of Baba are shooting – which is influenced by their ideological differences on politics and power… Both son and daughter are his zero!
Sequel to the article titled ‘The Worth of Human Soul in Islam: Perspective on ENDSARS Protests’ published last week, here is a follow up.
This brings us to the EndSARS Protests which claimed many souls. The Muslims, the non-Muslims and the government are all culpable; the government being the most culpable.
Before going further, I will like to make myself clear that, like most Nigerians I do not support police brutality under any guise neither would I be part of lawlessness in any ramification. As to whether government over the years has been sincere with the governed is a hard nut for me to crack.
National President, Castor and Allied Product Farmers Association of Nigeria, Mr Kehinde Adeoye gave the advice in an exclusive interview with Correspondent Lanre Omotoso in Ilorin.
Kwara State Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq has congratulated the Emir of Lafiagi Alhaji Sa’adu Kawu Haliru on the 45th anniversary of ascending the throne of his forebears, praying Allah to make his reign longer and more successful for the Lafiagi emirate.

Her Majesty, The Queen of England, has felicitated with Nigeria on the occasion of her 60th anniversary.
It is my sincere hope that by the end of this anniversary on September 30th 2021, we will all be proud of taking this individual and collective self-assessment for the progress of our great Nation.
