This search has drawn attention to a number of African gas projects that are likely to help Europe in the future The curtailment of Russian natural gas deliveries is a source of anxiety for the European Union — and rightly so, given that the bloc has been far too dependent for far too long on Gazprom, a majority state-owned Russian company that serves as a de facto instrument of policy for the Kremlin. But this anxiety is also a source of potential for African gas producers, as it’s driving European consumers to look elsewhere for fuel.This search has drawn attention…

By Abubakar Danmallam “When you see a teeth falling from the mouth of a person by itself, it signifies decay” – Anonymous “No Longer at Ease, The Centre Cannot Hold” – Chinua Achebe “The biggest mistake Sokoto people will make in their existence is to allow PDP to continue in 2023. Trust me, no governor in Sokoto’s entire history has treated Sokoto people with so much disregard like Tambuwal” – Anonymous It is glaringly evident that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) administration of Aminu Waziri Tambuwal in Sokoto state, has been limping on one leg, unknown to many that all…
By Rukayat Adeyemi One of the biggest problems confronting the insurance industry in Nigeria is lack of trust in operators by many Nigerians who perceive insurance as a scam. To change that negative perception, experts believe that the federal government, through the National Insurance Commission (NAICOM), should begin enforcement of compulsory insurance to mitigate risks for both individuals and businesses. They insist there is need for the government and the insurance regulator to enforce compulsory insurance, firstly by embarking on awareness campaigns to awaken the interest of Nigerians in insurance. Compulsory insurance covers builders liability insurance or insurance of buildings…
Except for insecurity, the ASUU strike is the most burning issue of the moment. From 1999 when the 4th republic and the current democratic dispensation commenced, to date ASUU had gone on strike 15 times amounting to 52 months with 34 months under the PDP regime while the APC accounts for 19 months, with more days still being counted. All along, some people have been blaming ASUU because of government propaganda using half-truths, half-lie, insincerity, and deceit. That did not only victimize ASUU but made the ASUU members vanquished while the public university system continued to deteriorate, and private universities…
Not to punish evil is like authorising it – Leonardo da Vinci …when the laws have ceased to be executed, as this can only come from the corruption of the republic, the state is already lost – Baron de Montesquieu.A kingdom (nation) can endure with unbelief, but it cannot endure with injustice – Sheikh Usmanu Danfodiyo Leonardo di ser Piero da Vinci died on 2 May, 1519. He was an Italian with encyclopedic learning. There was no branch of knowledge that he didn’t touch. His achievements, diverse interests, personal life, and empirical thinking always spark interest and admiration, even today. Charles Louis de…

“Truth must be told that anyone who is not bringing us together is consciously tearing us apart” – Dogara Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people. Proverbs 14:34 1. I consider it great honour and privilege to be invited as the Guest Speaker at this all-important August summit of eminent religious leaders and top-notch politicians from across all the States of the Federation.

I confess I was not surprised that President Muhammadu Buhari was not aware that bandit terrorists had threatened to kidnap him, our Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces, until Governor Nasir El-Rufai, also under the same threat, went and told him in Aso Rock. This means the animated debates and rage of Nigerians on how dare a rag tag group of bandit terrorists threaten our President never got to his ears. I wondered what the President gossips about after dinner with his friends and peers. My friends would have told me hey pal, do you know that the whole…
“My notion of democracy is that under it, the weakest shall have the same opportunities as the strongest. Western democracy, as it functions today, is diluted fascism. True democracy cannot be worked by twenty men sitting at the centre. It has to be worked from below, by the people of every village.” – Mahatma Gandhi In the last few weeks, the question between the lips of every Nigerian has been who will win the 2023 presidential election. Nigerian youths, in particular, are now actively in tune with the goings-on in the country. On the other leg, most politicians are hoping…
It has simply gotten out of hand. Journalists and now a global media organisation of repute, the BBC, which should know better, are becoming a tool for terrorists, even if unwittingly, by amplifying the faces, voices and stories of killers and marauders who are still operating with impunity across Nigeria. The public interest argument seems to have been misunderstood, some may even say misrepresented, to enable sensationalist reporting that is very unlikely to be allowed on screens in the United Kingdom. By not upholding the same standards as they would uphold in the UK, in their work in Nigeria, the…
