By Tochukwu Ezukanma  | Lagos, Nigeria | July 29, 2024 – Just before the 2023 presidential election, Mrs. Oluremi Tinubu was at her oratorical best.  Like a Casanova wooing a credulous damsel, she was suave and charming.  She told her audience that “my husband and I” are already wealthy.

The Moral Blemish on the Tinubu Presidency – By Tochukwu Ezukanma

  By Tochukwu Ezukanma | Lagos, Nigeria | September 26, 2023 – With his Emi lokan bombast, Bola Ahmed Tinubu cut the image of a vainglorious megalomaniac, and struck many Nigerians as boastful and offensively self-assertive.

The Soldiers Must Remain in the Barracks – By Tochukwu Ezukanma

By Tochukwu Ezukanma | Lagos, Nigeria | September 16, 2023 – The earliest vestiges of democracy can be traced to the Greek city states.

A Presidential Victory that Will Not Stand – By Tochukwu Ezukanma

By Tochukwu Ezukanma | Lagos, Nigeria | May 24, 2023 –  After the presidential election, for days, I was distressed, totally flustered.

The Need for an Interim Government – By Tochukwu Ezukanma

By Tochukwu Ezukanma  | Lagos, Nigeria | April 29, 2023 – It has been said that there is no provision for an interim government in the Nigerian constitution.  Interestingly, a constitution is never a totally finished product.

By Tochukwu Ezukanma  | Lagos, Nigeria | March 6, 2023 – I am motivated by reason and conviction. Thus, I am a doubting Thomas, “who always insisted on an examination with his own hands”.
