Like a surprise, Nigerians are beginning to see and feel the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in action. The new president has proven that it is his time to change Nigeria for the better. His swearing-in was the starting point of new activity and the fuel subsidy was removed. I like this Man’s leadership energy and enthusiasm, he is not here to waste our time I believe.

Happy Father’s Day to all the incredible fathers out there! Today is a time to honor and appreciate the significant role we play in shaping the lives of our children and the impact we have on future generations.
Days after Distinguished Senator Adamu Bulkachuwa openly and brazenly boasted of how he influenced court judgments in favour of himself and in favour of his friends and colleague using his wife who was the president of the court of appeal, Justice Zainab Bulkachuwa, the senator is yet to be invited to substantiate his claims and the retired justice is yet to be invited by the National Judicial Council to deny or support her husband’s claim.
At the valedictory session of the 9th Senate last Saturday, a ‘Most distinguished’ (as they address themselves) told his colleagues that many owe their stay in the green chambers to the ‘benevolence’ of his wife, a retired judicial officer. Despite the best efforts of the (now former) Senate President Ahmad Lawan to apply the ‘off the mic’ principle to gag the father-confessor, the damage to the reputation of the Nigerian judiciary was already done.
Two things will define Tinubu’s Presidency as a success or failure: What he does to insecurity and what he does to corruption. Why? Because these maladies are the two burning issues in the country today which if not taken down will take down the country or perhaps better put, will burn down the nation.

One of the most difficult challenges I have had to endure is balancing my professional responsibilities with the needs of my baby, particularly when it comes to breastfeeding.
“Mata adon gari” is a phrase I and a thousand other northern Nigerian ladies have grown to become attuned to. When loosely interpreted, this phrase translates to “women are the beauty of society”.
I have always held the notion that I wasn’t a people person. I hated socializing as much as I loved solitude.
It is exactly three decades today that Nigerians went to the polls to exercise their inalienable right to elect a President of their choice to lead the transition from military dictatorship to a representative government of the people.
June 12 holds a profound significance in Nigeria’s socio-political development as it symbolises the struggle for democracy and the need for citizen participation. On June 12, 1993, Nigerians across ethnoreligious and sociocultural divides trooped out to exercise their civic duty of electing the president of their country. Although the election was later annulled in the most controversial of circumstances, it goes down in the annals of Nigerian history as the freest and fairest conducted in the nation’s quest for stable democracy. The election has also continued to serve as a reference point in organising credible elections under challenging circumstances. In a symbolic gesture, the President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration on June 6, 2018, declared June 12 as the new Democracy Day, replacing May 29.
