Naija my Naija Are Nigerians Capable of Traumatic Intelligence? For some time, I wondered whether Nigerians were experiencing something resembling Stockholm syndrome… becoming psychologically attached to those responsible for their suffering. I no longer believe that comparison is useful. Most Nigerians know when government is failing them. We recognize bad roads, insecurity, corruption, unemployment, rising prices and failing public institutions. We complain about these prob

AREN’T WE TIRED ENOUGH YET? Every election season, Nigerians do the same thing. We complain. We argue. We fill WhatsApp groups. We post videos. We chant slogans. We swear, “This time will be different.” Then the election comes and goes, and too often, we end up exactly where we started. So, I have a simple question. AREN’T WE TIRED YET? Tired of insecurity, tired of food prices, tired of bad roads, tired of unreliable electricity, tired of watching our young people leave Nige

The Nigerian Dilemma: Why We Keep Choosing Our Own Suffering And Smiling There is an old saying that experience is the best teacher. If that is true, then Nigeria should be one of the wisest nations on earth. Yet, repeatedly, we seem determined to repeat the same mistakes and expect different results.

The grievances are familiar: foreigners are accused of taking jobs, increasing crime, overwhelming public services, and placing additional strain on already limited resources. The reaction from the rest of Afr

Anambra State stands at a crossroads. In just a few days, citizens will wield their greatest power… the right to choose who will lead our state for the next four years. Sixteen political parties may be on the ballot, but let’s be honest — only three are truly in contention for this critical seat at this critical time. For months, we have heard the same tired promises. Some candidates wave wads of cash, pledging ₦5 million per local government that votes their way, an insult t

This Election Will Define Us On November 8, 2025, the people of Anambra State will go to the polls to elect a new governor. This election will not just select a leader — it will determine whether we truly deserve the title “Light of the Nation.” For three years, our state has been paralyzed. Insecurity has driven entire communities into exile. Towns like Lilu, Mbosi, and Orsumoghu have become ghost towns. Kidnapping, cult violence, and extortion have replaced peace and produ
