By Tochukwu Ezukanma | Lagos, Nigeria | February 9, 2020 – The Nigerian political elite behave like a colonial or Apartheid elite.

It is an island governed by vicious exploitation of the system, crass contempt for the people and […]
By Tochukwu Ezukanma | Lagos, Nigeria | December 12, 2019 – President Buhari’s war on corruption struck a responsive chord in Nigerian minds because corruption has, for long, been the bane of Nigeria.

By Tochukwu Ezukanma | Lagos, Nigeria | November 23, 2019 – As usual, on October 1, 2019, Nigeria held her annual ritual: the commemoration of Nigerian independence.

By Tochukwu Ezukanma | Lagos, Nigeria | November 17, 2019 – To become the president of Nigeria, a presidential candidate must battle for power and be bruised, battered and bloodied in the political trenches for power.

By Tochukwu Ezukanma | Lagos, Nigeria | July 29, 2019 – The indigenous Igbo eschatology demands the mourning and remembrance of the dead. So, I observed Biafran Heroes’ Day on May 30th 2019.

By Tochukwu Ezukanma |Lagos, Nigeria |July 12, 2019 – June 12 1993 was a milestone in the history of Nigeria democracy and political evolution.
