Nigeria Burns, Leaders Make Merry

 By Emeka Alex Duru

My friend and colleague, Dr. Promise Adiele, read my mind in his piece of Wednesday, November 19, 2025, titled “Tinubu: To be or not to be – that is the question”. In it, Adiele did a robust analysis of the governance challenges in the country and the inability of the Bola Tinubu administration to confront the situation. Adiele raised the question of whether Tinubu should resign as President or not, pointing out, of course, that either of the options has corresponding consequences.

A portion of the write-up touched mostly. It read: “Today in Nigeria, terrorists are targeting military formations, decimating our soldiers through ambush and sophisticated intelligence. The mass kidnapping of schoolchildren has returned in all its fury and despicable orchestration. In just one week, a Nigerian Brigadier General was ambushed by terrorists and murdered in the most gruesome manner. 

Insecurity: Getting The Right Things Wrong

Right now, the 80th United Nations General Assembly, UNGA is holding in New York, the United States. This year, unlike on previous occasions, our president is not attending. Instead, Vice President Kashim Shettima is standing in for the president and has already delivered the Nigerian national address to the UN body.

The key takeaways from the speech made at UNGA is the renewed call for a permanent seat at the UN Security Council, and the proposal for a two-state solution to the unending Israeli-Palestinian conflict. I will quote certain sentences from the speech delivered by Shettima, and relate it to our peculiar circumstances.

Why Buhari Must Be Put On Trial!

 By Ikechukwu Amaechi

As President Bola Tinubu pretends to be providing leadership for our beleaguered country, one question remains unanswered: what to do with former President Muhammadu Buhari. In the eight years that Buhari, a putschist and former military head of state, held sway as civilian president, he destroyed the country, literally.

In recent times, those who knew he was a disaster in Aso Rock but dubiously claimed that he was the best thing to happen to Nigeria are beginning to sing like a canary.
