By Odolaye Baa Waki Aremu The King has been on the throne since a core of the Nigerian generation can ever remember. A man who with his sheer force of unavoidable charisma has made the Nigerian entertainment stage his empire, throne and footstool. And that is why the King is the King! He’s the only musician in the present day Nigeria that I am constantly amazed at his staying power. He’s been doing the same thing over and over for ages and he keeps getting better everyday, especially stagecraft wise. He probably has every Nigerian big men or women on…

A Poem By Tunde Odubanwo Across the seas of men exists an Atlantis of blissWhere nights and day as one commune in tombstones.Beneath the feet is the stealthy dust –an oath of interminable endFor the hallowed citizens of this world. en pace!Say a little prayer, oh! My dear soulSay this prayer once more, for mortality is an evanescent journey.My soul shall find peace still, here I stand, in the courtyard of solitudeThe Seraphs visit today with timbrels, and glorious harmony – peace! From the worlds unknown blast choruses, the greens wave Hosanna.Listen to the tender voice of the wind, its…

By Zailani Bappa Some individuals and groups have over the last ew days, expressed their concerns over Governor Bello Mohammed’s peace process with bandits in the state, some of them alleging neglect in favour of the repentant bandits.

This allegation, which seems to be getting momentum, is completely unfounded and contrary to the truth in the fight against banditry in the state. Indeed, Governor Bello Mohammed still believes that dialogue is the…

By George Kushi Quite recently on social media Abdulazeez Nyako was at it over the issue of decampees from ADC to the People’s Democratic Party. What is really baffling is the fact that what is a non- issue drew his ire as he uttered words saying the ADC will give a response but fell short of saying if it is true that some members of the party have defected or not. If there are decampees, it will be nothing novel. However, in politics there should be no cause for annoyance. In politics some people come in and others go away.…
