A WRONG-FOOTED CALL: WHY H.E DONALD DUKE IS OUT OF STEP WITH DEMOCRATIC LOGIC.

Aare AmerijoyeFebruary 4, 2026

Alex Ter Adum,Ph.D The call by H.E. Donald Duke, former governor of Cross River State, urging H.E. Atiku Abubakar not to contest the 2027 presidential election because he has been “contesting since 1992” on the occasion of his formal defection to the ADC is not only astonishingly shallow, it is a textbook example of lazy...

THE ZAZOO PRESIDENCY: WHEN GOVERNANCE BECOMES STREET NOISE.

Aare AmerijoyeFebruary 3, 2026

Aare Amerijoye DOT.B Portable Omo Olalomi hopped in with me one afternoon. The car stereo erupted. “Ara adugbo… tuntun ti de o… Zazoo… o pọ l’eti… o yẹ k’ẹ ti ma gbo… Baddo sneh… Pepper sneh… many many were wa n le… ahh repete… unruly… hacker… ika… te s’oju e… eje loju bi t’Abacha… ma...

A GIANT HUMILIATED, A REPUBLIC RESTLESS

Aare AmerijoyeJanuary 31, 2026

Aare Amerijoye DOT.B When your salary shrinks, your savings vanish, and your business trembles, someone is governing badly. That is not opposition rhetoric. It is economic arithmetic. Inflation does not vote. Exchange rates do not belong to parties. Market prices are brutally neutral. They simply expose competence — or the lack of it. Nigeria is...

SUNDAY DARE AND THE POLITICS OF PANIC: A CLINICAL DEFENCE OF ATIKU ABUBAKAR AND THE AUTOPSY OF A FAILED POLEMIC.

Aare AmerijoyeJanuary 28, 2026

Aare Amerijoye DOT.B There are moments in the life of a nation when a newspaper column stops being analysis and instead reveals itself as a psychological document. The essay by Sunday Dare, published in TheCable, is one such moment. It is not a calm engagement with facts or history; it is a reflex, an anxious...

HAKEEM BABA-AHMED AND THE POLITICS OF EMPTY PROPHECIES: HOW SOME MEN SELL SUPERSTITION AS ANALYSIS.

Aare AmerijoyeJanuary 20, 2026

Aare Amerijoye DOT.B. There is a category of Nigerian political commentary that deserves serious study, not because it enriches democracy, but because it actively pollutes it. It is the behaviour of men who look at a nation bleeding under hardship and conclude that their best contribution is not strategy, not mobilisation, not coalition-building, but mystical...

NIGERIA UNDER THE ALL PROGRESSIVES CONGRESS: THE WAIL OF A WOUNDED NATION AND THE TRAGEDY OF THE CLAPPING POOR: WHY NIGERIA IS TURNING TO ATIKU ABUBAKAR FOR RESCUE

Aare AmerijoyeJanuary 19, 2026

Nigeria today no longer merely groans; it bleeds. To reflect on the condition of our beloved country under the All Progressives Congress is to stare unflinchingly into a mirror cracked by hunger, fear, and betrayed hope. This is not a partisan lament; it is the collective cry of a people stretched beyond endurance, a nation...

WHEN GOD RISES

Aare AmerijoyeJanuary 16, 2026

There are moments in the life of a nation when neutrality becomes cruelty and silence becomes violence. Nigeria has entered such a moment. Hunger stalks homes. Hope has thinned into anxiety. The poor have become statistics, and suffering has been normalised as policy language. In times like these, prayer must stop whispering. Faith must stop...

TINUBU’S WAR ON THE POOR

Aare AmerijoyeJanuary 16, 2026

There are moments in a nation’s life when laughter ceases to be amusement and becomes indictment. Nigeria has reached such a moment. What is unfolding under the All Progressives Congress is not governance in its classical sense, but theatre without discipline, spectacle without substance, and motion without direction. It is, in the most unforgiving philosophical...

2027 – ATIKU REMAINS THE MAIN ISSUE.

Aare AmerijoyeJanuary 16, 2026

“Great dreams are not born in comfort; they are carved through fire, through rejection, and through relentless hope.” In the vast theatre of Nigeria’s politics, one name continues to haunt the corridors of power and echo through the conscience of a struggling nation: Atiku Abubakar. Like a persistent sunrise that refuses to be dimmed by...

EMPLOYMENT OR HUMILIATION:

Aare AmerijoyeJanuary 9, 2026

When I sat with Atiku Abubakar and listened to him speak about Nigeria’s unemployed youth, there was no political theatre in his voice, only the kind of quiet gravity that Simone Weil once described when she observed that pain is often the beginning of moral truth rather than a political argument, a sensibility that resonates...
