NIGERIAN YOUTH: YOUR MOMENT OF POWER IS NOW—ATIKU & ADC 2027.

Aare AmerijoyeFebruary 16, 2026

Aare Amerijoye DOT.B THE CHOICE BEFORE US IS CRYSTAL CLEAR. Our ancestors understood what we must remember today: “Ọmọde gbon, ọgba gbon, l’afí dá ilẹ̀ Ifẹ̀”—when youthful innovation meets seasoned wisdom, nations don’t just survive, they THRIVE. The great city of Ife wasn’t built by dreams alone, but by the strategic union of elder experience...

NIGERIA’S ECONOMIC PARALYSIS: WHEN LEADERSHIP BECOMES THE ANTIDOTE TO PROGRESS.

Aare AmerijoyeFebruary 15, 2026

Aare Amerijoye DOT.B. The notion that competent leadership remains irrelevant to national prosperity represents perhaps the most brilliantly absurd proposition ever entertained by serious minds. Yet Nigeria’s current trajectory offers a masterclass in how a nation blessed with abundance can achieve spectacular destitution through the simple expedient of selecting those magnificently unqualified to steward its...

The Fallback Clause: Nigeria’s New Electoral Trapdoor

Aare AmerijoyeFebruary 13, 2026

By Kunle Oshobi The passage of the Senate bill permitting the electronic transmission of election results should have been a moment of celebration for Nigerian democracy. Instead, it serves as a sobering reminder of how far we still have to go, and how much further we could fall back if citizens let down their guard....

FAYOSE AND THE ARCHITECTURE OF MANUFACTURED FALLACIES.

Aare AmerijoyeFebruary 12, 2026

Aare Amerijoye DOT.B When Speculation Dresses as Strategy Ayodele Fayose, former Governor of Ekiti State, recently circulated a dramatic narrative titled “Between Atiku and Makinde, Untold Story of What Happened in Minna Yesterday.” In that account, he claimed that Governor Seyi Makinde travelled to Minna for a strategic negotiation with former Vice President Atiku Abubakar;...

IS THIS “RENEWED HOPE” — OR A PRESIDENCY IN TRANSIT?

Aare AmerijoyeFebruary 11, 2026

Aare Amerijoye DOT.B Nine hundred and eighty-one days in office. Approximately two hundred and forty-five of those days reportedly spent outside Nigeria. Nearly one out of every four days of this presidency has unfolded beyond the borders of a nation currently wrestling with inflation, currency instability, energy strain, and shrinking household confidence. Let us speak...

THE AUTOPSY WE MUST NEVER CONDUCT

Aare AmerijoyeFebruary 10, 2026

Aare Amerijoye DOT.B. If we will not like gathering in 2027 to conduct a political postmortem, dissecting how victory slipped through our fingers, how history brushed past us but refused to embrace us, then the time for lamentation must give way to mobilisation. Reflection without reorganisation is self-deception. Memory without structure is ritual mourning. Politics,...

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...
