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...

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....

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...

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.
