• Amaechi vs. Omehia: And the Reasoning please?
  Anyone who read our article on the Amaechi vs. Omehia titled The Supreme Court: Supreme in all things but Remedy! will in no doubt notice that our bone of contention with the Supreme Court was never about the conclusion they reached. Our problem has always been the remedy they fashioned to compensate the winning side in this case, Amaechi. NigerianNews Editorial
   

• Happy New Year and Welcome 2008!
  January 01, 2008
  NigerianNews takes this opportunity to felicitate with everyone as the year 2008 rolls in. Indeed, Nigeria is a country which God has bestowed with enough resilience to weather any storm! 2007 was such a turbulent year which some would have either wished it never existed or certain events never occurred. All the same, all our experience is supposed to strengthen us with sufficient energy so that we can witness the fulfillment of things yet to be revealed to us as a Nation by the Almighty God.

• Removal of Ribadu: The Triumph of Aondoakaa and his Ruse of Law
  December 31, 2007
  While the plot was being hatched, those who now cry foul on the removal of Nuhu Ribadu were busy celebrating the demise of the previous government. While the celebration went on, the evil geniuses in our midst were busy perfecting their next move of their escape from Alcatraz! NigerianNews Editorial
   

• The Supreme Court: Supreme in all things but Remedy!
  October 29, 2007
  We must first congratulate this Supreme Court for they have done it again! We congratulate you for your consistent inconsistencies. We congratulate you for consistently turning the face of logic upside down to the applause of those who should know better. If your inconsistencies are not embarrassing, we would  have also congratulated you on your undemocratic imposition of Rotimi Amaechi who was never voted for by the people of Rivers State. This is a first in the annals of representative democracy!! NigerianNews Editorial

  The Barack Obama Phenomenon
  by Tunde Adenodi.
  March 18, 2008
  Shirley Chisholm, a New York House of Representative member in the 70’s blazed the trail. Then, Jesse Jackson, the fire-brand president of the rainbow coalition in the 80’s. Revd. Al Sharpton took the baton, along with the Abacha friend - Carol Mosley-Brown ( I did not say girl-friend) in 2004. NigerianNews Special
  
  Obasanjo, Gbenga and Mojisola: Defiling Yoruba Culture
  by Tunde Adenodi.
  January 31, 2008
  Curiously, I am hoping no one will read this article! The obvious solution to this dilemma is not to write it. No one can read what is not written! This is not so simple especially when I feel a compulsive, probably even a compelling need to write it. Compulsive, because a person’s gut reaction to issues is often the right one and compelling, because it is wrong not to comment on the bizarre stories coming from Obasanjo’s staple.

  Defending the Obasanjos? Hell, No! But no turning logic on its head!
  by Frisky Larr
  April 29, 2008
  These days, there are issues a public commentator cannot shy away from as a matter of choice. Indeed, when specific issues pervade the air and fill the news media with some intoxicating frenzy in the assurance of positive public sentiments, no onlooker can shy away. One very angry commentator remarked lately that virtually every newspaper relies on Obasanjo-bashing these days to sell amongst its readership. NigerianNews Special
  
  The Iyabo Scandal: EFCC’s case is weak!!
  by Frisky Larr
  April 24, 2008
  Day-by-day, details are trickling out of the ‘EFCC versus Iyabo’ scandal currently rocking political Nollywood in Abuja. In the latest round, it was the EFCC’s turn to tear its can open and bare up the contents of its own view. What has thus far, become obvious and comprehensible is that the EFCC operatives have reasons enough – plenty of it too – to be dead angry with Iyabo Obasanjo-Bello.

  Ribadu's removal: Not in the Interest of the General Public
  by Kay Soyemi
  December 29, 2007
  Keeping abreast of news and development back home takes some dedication and a hardiness of the soul and certain immunity to the shocking revelations that comes out of the political establishment and the fourth realm.  NigerianNews Special | Read more articles by Soyemi

  Weep No More Gani
  by Atsar Terver
  May 15, 2008
  In our contemporary African society when an elder, especially a man begins to weep publicly, for whatever reason, it calls for serious concern. Whatever it is that would make a man to break down and weep in public must be distasteful. Now if the person crying is a small-livered old man in the corner of the city, one may be forgiven for giving not more than a passing glance at it; but when the crier is man of stature, then something must be seriously wrong and we need to ponder.

  Fear Not Iyabo

  April 28, 2008
  Yar’Adua had ordered that such unspent monies should be accrued to the federation account for re-appropriation. While most ministries complied with this directive, the Ministry of Health   under the leadership of Prof. Adenike Grange as Minister and Gabrial Aduku as Minister of State, decided to test the waters.  NigerianNews Special | Read more articles by Terver

  IYABO OBASANJO-BELLO: AN HONOURABLE LAWMAKER AS A FUGITIVE LAWBREAKER.
  by Dotun Oyeniyi
  April 28, 2008
  Running away from justice should normally not be an issue for endless debates.  All criminals like to evade justice.  However when the fugitive happens to be an ‘Honourable Lawmaker’ of a nation, the probing sensibility of the masses will be greatly aroused. NigerianNews Special
  
  FREEDOM FOR LT-COLONEL ISHAYA BAMAIYI: MUCH ADO ABOUT NIGERIA JUDICIAL SYSTEM
  by Dotun Oyeniyi
  No.  I am not making a mistake.  I mean Lieutenant-Colonel Ishaya Bamaiyi and not Lieutenant-General Ishaya Bamaiyi.  This is because I sincerely think that Nigeria should extend the attempted ‘decimalisation’ of the Naira, propounded by the CBN governor, Charles Soludo to our military ranks.  Soludo, we would recall, attempted to slash the value of the naira by one-tenth or so, so that if you had N1000 in the bank, it becomes N100, this according to him was because the naira is overvalued.  That novel proposition has now been rested on the presidency’s instruction.
