THE BRIDGE OF HOPE IN A SEASON OF HUNGER

Aare AmerijoyeFebruary 9, 2026

Aare Amerijoye DOT.B There are moments in a nation’s life when the market becomes more honest than the parliament. When the price of rice speaks louder than campaign speeches.When the cost of bread humiliates statistics.When a mother stands before a pot and calculates not flavour, but survival. Nigeria is living through such a moment. This...

Nigeria’s Democracy at Risk: Senate’s Rejection of Mandatory Electronic Transmission Reopens Door to Electoral Manipulation

Aare AmerijoyeFebruary 7, 2026

By Kunle Oshobi In what critics are calling a devastating blow to Nigeria’s electoral integrity, the Nigerian Senate has rejected proposals to make the electronic transmission of election results mandatory, opting instead to retain ambiguous language that leaves critical loopholes open for potential manipulation ahead of the 2027 general elections. During the clause-by-clause consideration of...

NIGERIANS MUST REJECT SENATE’S TECH ILLITERACY AS ELECTORAL POLICY

Aare AmerijoyeFebruary 7, 2026

The Akpabio-led Senate is fast proving itself to be an anti-democratic contraption. I have listened carefully to the arguments advanced by the Senate President Godswill Akpabio and the Senate spokesperson and other proponents of retaining the discretionary provisions of 2022 Electoral Act on electronic transmission of results rather than upholding the mandatory provisions of the...

THE 10TH SENATE AND THE BURDEN OF INTEGRITY,CONSISTENCY, TRUTH, AND THE MEMORY OF HISTORY

Aare AmerijoyeFebruary 7, 2026

“To put the record straight, the Senate did not, I repeat, did not reject electronic transmission of election results as provided in the 2022 Electoral Act.”— Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe, a distinguished parliamentarian of uncommon institutional depth, whom I often describe as both an ancient and modern Senator by virtue of his long...

A GOVERNMENT OF GRANDEUR AND A PEOPLE OF GRIEF.

Aare AmerijoyeFebruary 2, 2026

Aare Amerijoye DOT.B. Nigeria is not drifting by accident. It is being governed into exhaustion. Under the watch of Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the machinery of the All Progressives Congress, the country has mastered a disturbing art: public celebration amid private suffering. Press conferences beam with confidence while households brace for the next price increase....

The IMF List and the Naira’s Uptick: Why Tinubu Deserves No Credit for Either.

Aare AmerijoyeFebruary 1, 2026

An analysis of Nigeria’s place on the IMF’s projected growth contributors list, and the uncomfortable truths the government would rather ignore. By Kunle Oshobi There is a particular kind of political opportunism that thrives on the ignorance of a public that does not fully understand how macroeconomic indicators work. The Nigerian government demonstrated this quite...

ANOTHER FOUR YEARS OF APC IS DEATH FOR THE NIGERIAN POOR MASSES — NIGERIANS MUST NOT CHOOSE SUFFERING AGAIN

Aare AmerijoyeFebruary 1, 2026

Aare Amerijoye DOT.B There are seasons in the life of a nation when politics ceases to be a contest of parties and becomes a question of conscience. Nigeria is standing in that season. This is no longer about slogans, press conferences, or rehearsed optimism. It is about survival. Another four years of APC governance, without...

THE REPUBLIC IS NOT A STAGE: WHY NIGERIA MUST REJECT CHOREOGRAPHED LEADERSHIP.

Aare AmerijoyeFebruary 1, 2026

Aare Amerijoye DOT.B There is a dangerous temptation in power: to replace scrutiny with scenery. In the months preceding the 2023 presidential election, the Lagos Chamber of Commerce and Industry convened presidential candidates to address the organised private sector on the economy. It was not a carnival. It was not a rally. It was not...

EXPERIENCE WITHOUT ARROGANCE: WHY NIGERIA NEEDS HUMBLE COMPETENCE, NOT LOUD CERTAINTY

Comrade Valentine OnwukaJanuary 31, 2026

– Nze Amb. Ugo-Akpe Onwuka JP (Oyi) Nigeria’s leadership problem is often misunderstood. It is not simply a shortage of ideas or energy. It is a crisis of temperament. Too often, authority is exercised with bravado rather than balance, certainty rather than reflection, and volume rather than vision. In a complex and fragile federation, this...

ATIKU ABUBAKAR: THE ALTERNATIVE THEY FEAR BECAUSE IT EXPOSES THEM.

Aare AmerijoyeJanuary 29, 2026

Aare Amerijoye DOT. B Nigeria is no longer being governed. It is being punished. Under Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the All Progressives Congress, suffering has stopped being an accident of bad policy and has become a deliberate method of rule. Hunger is defended as reform. Poverty is reframed as discipline. Pain is preached as patriotism....
