100 days after General Muhammadu Buhari became president, Femi Adesina, his Special Adviser on media gleefully announced that a new Sheriff was in town.

Obi, Atiku and Tinubu want to fool us again: let’s all say NO – By Mideno Bayagbon
Two weeks after the lid on campaigns was removed, it is now clear that we are on the old road that shields candidates, masks their short comings, and makes emperors of nincompoops.

TNG Analysis: How 2023 election will be won and lost [Part 1]
Truly interesting days lie ahead in our journey to the 2023 General Elections. I look at the ecstatic, confident smiles of the supporters of the Presidential Candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, the cocksureness of the Atikulated group and the self assured belief of the BAT brigade, and as a veteran in these games,…

Anyone who has been around the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, in the last two months, would not have failed to notice something peculiar about the air around him and his team.

Peter Obi Phenomenon: Sitting On A Time Bomb
Like most Nigerians, I have watched with awe the phenomenon that is the OBIdient-Datti Movement. From seemingly nowhere, Peter Obi, former Anambra State Governor, former Vice Presidential candidate and new entrant into the Labour Party, has captured the national imagination.

Nyesom Wike, the hot beautiful bride of Nigerian politics – By Mideno Bayagbon
Love him or hate him, by some smart political engineering, Nyesom Wike, Governor of oil rich Rivers state, is now the must-go-to bride of current Nigerian politics. Through sheer bravado, tough talking and a seeming careful positioning, and by assuming possibility of causing humongous political damage, his shrine has become the must-visit place of political…

I fear for the Nigeria and Nigerians of 2023 and beyond – By Mideno Bayagbon
Truth be told, the average Nigerian is as guilty, if not more guilty than the thieving politicians, we are all fond of vilifying. Every Nigerian you meet is finger-pointing at some politician, at some corrupt policeman and other, who they believe, is the problem with Nigeria.

Her decision to quit our class WhatsApp forum was so shocking, that most members were left nonplussed, dumbfounded and searching for answers. She was and is still the life of the class: naughty, full of mischief; witty, sarcastic, caustic and one who could take a hard punch in the face in the form of a…
