That Nigeria has ‘changed’ in the last one year the All Progressives Congress (APC) administration is not in doubt anymore. Everywhere you turn, you see the ‘change’ in people’s faces and actions.

Buhari’s one year…APC’s change

If a presidential election were held today, majority of Nigerian voters who have seen the queer ‘change’ mantra of the ‘ruling’ All Progressives Congress, (APC) for the past one year, as regards the prevailing harsh economic climate in the country will no doubt vote out the party. Reason for this reaction on their part is […]

Before the ‘randy lecturer’ Bill is passed

Ihesiulo Grace 0
Nigerians will for a long time to come remember the 8th National Assembly for different reasons; some for the good reasons and some for not the so good reasons.
