By Emmanuel Oyemomi Going down the memory lane, as far as Nigeria is concerned, I don’t think we have a solid plan. What we have has been legacy and what impact theological education has brought into the nation. Some great institutions that are renowned for this – Harvard, Oxford, etc. – has become the cream of the world. History made …

I am from Owo. I was born and bred there. Readers of my columns must have known that by now.  My primary school, modern school and secondary school were all at Owo. I did not step out of Owo to live anywhere else until 1975, first at Sobe and later at Usho, both under the then Owo Local Government Area, …

It is obvious that the Catholic Church in Nigeria has lost the fight to rein in one of their most vocal evangelists in the southeast, who has carved a niche for himself as the champion in the profitable area of prophetic political evangelism. I do not know just yet how this failure will impact the largest Christian denomination, whose strongest …

He who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetrate it. He who accepts evil without protesting against it is really cooperating with it – Martin Luther King Jr. Selling blood for water is trending now.

In his statement, Adegboruwa accused Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu …

Without being conscious of what he was doing, transport and logistics billionaire, Dr Chidi Anyaegbu of the Chisco Transport fame, may have triggered what will likely define –  no, redefine – the attitude and approach of the Igbo-speaking tribe in the southeast, south-south, and even in some parts of north-central Nigeria in their engagement with the Nigerian state. The story …

By Louis Odion To frame the epic coronation at the Eagle Square Tuesday night casually as Jagaban’s triumph is to omit one significant detail: a major detour in the movement of the forces of Nigeria’s history. As 2,322 enervated party delegates began to disperse from the Abuja coliseum strewn with the shards of broken aspirations and the cadavers of decapitated …

By Abiodun Odejayi If there is something that is mind boggling amongst Christians, or should I correct that to say “seemingly Christians” these days, it is the quest for miracles. Looking around the landscape, you’ll find humongous worship centres running series of programmes, some from day-to-day, promising all sorts of relief from a challenge or the other.

By Simon Kolawole If power does not go to the south in 2023, the pivotal role of Alhaji Atiku Abubakar will have to be scrutinised.
