Marafa, finds his gold
Nothing best describes Senator Kabir Marafa and his horde of gold-seeking members of the Unity Forum than their capitulation to what the Austrian born author, screenwriter, filmmaker, director and actor, Sir Kristian Aumann, said: “Self-aggrandizement and lust for power, the maelstrom of baser i [...]
Fashola comes of age
Nothing sums up the persona of Babatunde Fashola SAN as what John Steinbeck, the American Nobel Prize winner said in the book, East of Eden.
For long, Fashola as governor of Lagos state seems to have all the answers to Nigeria’s energy crisis. He pummeled the Goodluck Jonathan administrati [...]

Ezekwesili sees the light
For two years on, Dr. Oby Ezekwesili has been in the forefront for the rescue and return of the Chibok girls. Called names, taunted by her ethnic stock, embraced by the north, she remained focused on one thing: #BringBackOurGirls, #BBOG.
During the 2015 general elections, she was branded as Man- [...]
