Op-ed Article-2027 & Nigeria's Zig-Zag Politics

Image
  By Sulaiman Aledeh One of the privileges of journalism is that it teaches you to pay attention—not just to what people say, but to what they suddenly stop talking about. It teaches you that sometimes the biggest story is the one carefully buried beneath another. As Nigeria inches towards another general election in 2027, I have noticed something rather familiar. We are once again sharpening our tribal identities. Once again, politicians are dusting off the old playbook: divide the people, inflame old suspicions, manufacture fresh grievances, and hope that ethnicity succeeds where performance has failed. We have seen this movie before. We know how it ends. Yet every election season, we queue up for another showing. Then came the news of the "last batch" of Nigerians voluntarily returning from South Africa. Last Batch? How exactly did we determine that? Has someone conducted a census of every Nigerian abroad? Or did we conclude that the cameras had left? More interest...

Privatisation of Power Holding Company of Nigeria was never meant to succeed-NUEE

Image
  By allcitynews.ng  The National Union of Electricity Workers of Nigeria (NUEE) has again voiced out its age-long disappointment over the privatisation of the Power Holdibng Company of Nigeria (PHCN). In its latest outcry, NUEE noted that despite the past warning against sales of the company, Federal Government went ahead with the plan which has hit the rock as at today based on  the inability of the investors to inject expected turnaround development to the electricity supply. In a statement, the Acting General Secretary, Dominic Igwebike, argued that "The privatisation was not designed to improve supply; it was designed to divide the system so that a handful of speculators could profit from public assets." The renewed condemnation became imperative following the alleged publication of betrayal by one online newspaper. NUEE, in the statement titled: "The manager who never joined the  union but now preaches workers rights: a sponsored deception exposed", reiterated...

When uneducated minds change the education system

Image
    By Owei Lakemfa The Federal Government has announced it is replacing the 6-3-3-4 education system with a linear 12-year one. This is without wide consultations with the citizenry or the major stakeholders like parents, intellectuals, teachers, students, employers and labour. Just nine months ago, government had, with immediate effect, imposed major changes in the education system. That was on September 3, 2025, when the Honourable Minister of Education, Dr. Maruf Tunji Alausa, and Minister of State, Professor Suwaiba Sa’id Ahmad, announced that the Tinubu administration had ordered a major review of the national curriculum. They claimed the reforms were to reduce subject “overload,” promote skill development, and align Nigerian education with “global best practices.” The ministers announced that the fundamental changes, which, like a military decree, took immediate effect, are a testament to the Tinubu administration’s commitment to invigorate education, en...

Jimoh Ibrahim is uninformed: UN intervenes in nation’s internal affairs

Image
  By Owei Lakemfa I do not support the call by Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde that international bodies like the United Nations (UN) should participate in probing the 56-day abduction of 39 pupils and six teachers in the state. In receiving the freed victims, he called “on the appropriate international human rights and accountability mechanisms, including those within the United Nations system, to closely examine the facts surrounding this abduction and the circumstances of its resolution.” He explained that: “Such scrutiny is not intended to undermine our institution. Rather, it is intended to reinforce public confidence that the truth will be established and that every person found to bear responsibility, regardless of office, influence or affiliation, will be held accountable.” He added: “This is not about politics. It is about justice for the victims, reassurance for our people, and restoring public confidence that every Nigerian child can go to school without fear.”...
