“While BH may no longer hold any LGA as territory, they are clearly still strong enough to launch attacks against military bases and civilian populations, derisively termed as “soft targets”. This is evidenced by multiple under-reported attacks by insurgents in many North East communities, including military bases. It is heart-rending that the government keeps underplaying these attacks and referring to them as soft targets.”

“Elections are not just about winning. Far more important than who wins, is the message it passes. A situation where a Third Force candidate polls millions of votes can have the effect of putting whoever wins on his toes, even if only to avoid an impending “woe”; a possible loss in the next election.”
“Because our democracy has continued to evolve and mature, not staying in one place under either an Obasanjo with a third term, or a PDP with a one party rule, we have made more progress in 18 years than we have in almost twice as much before. “

More than at […]
“All this talk about a 3rd force to upend PDP and APC in 2019 is a ruse! It is never going to happen”. “People like you are why Nigeria may never achieve its potential. Laidback lots! You are comfortable with creating a good life for yourself and yourself alone! No wonder Trump called us a […]
The Trial of General Bako *By Saheed Animashaun Negeru, General Bako’s country of birth, is a “small” geographical enclave blessed with abundant resources. Quite paradoxically, Negeru is a grossly underdeveloped country in spite of these humongous endowments. Up until 18 years ago, Negeru had been largely ruled by men in Khaki, one of them being […]
