NBA’s school debate and Shettima’s sense of Dress. By Haruspice

Emporium Reporters

How you dress determines how you will be addressed, Senator Kashim Shettima obviously spoke to issues at the NBA conference with an eloquent and immaculate sequence of thoughts. He spoke like an intellectual and gave tailored fit solutions to the problems of governance but his excellent presentation was coloured stained by his choice of dressing. He gave people the chance to trend about his dress sense to the detriment of his brilliant posturing. The first law of attraction is beauty, every other thing comes second – the reason advertisers hire…

Why Would You Shut Down Mosque In OYSADA, An Oyo State Govt Agency, Dr. Debo Akande?

Emporium Reporters

What audacity would the head of an Oyo State Govt Agency have, that would make him foist his own anti-Islam idiosyncrasy on Muslims in that unit of Oyo State Govt? It beats one hollow that, in this modern day and age, someone will just wake up one day and from the blues, decide that he would unilaterally stop Muslims from obeying the command of Allah, which makes it peremptorily compulsory for every Muslim, not only to perform Salat (prayer to his God), but also to do so at their designated…

THE IMPERATIVE OF A POWER SHIFT, A TINUBU PRESIDENCY AND THE DEGENERATION OF THE PDP By Femi Fani-Kayode

Emporium Reporters

The greatest threat to Nigeria’s national unity is the refusal to shift power to the South next year.   Nothing could be more dangerous to our national cohesion than another 8 years of Fulani rule after President Muhammadu Buhari.   The Northern Governors of the APC themselves made this point and saw this danger and consequently insisted on a power shift to the South.   To my utter surprise and consternation they did not just say no to another Fulani but they went further by saying no to ANY Northerner…

WHO ARE THESE OBIDIENTS? By Femi Fani-Kayode

Emporium Reporters

Let me make this clear from the outset. I am a member of the APC and a supporter of Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.   This contribution does not in any way derogate from that and my analysis is more of an academic and intellectual exercise than anything else.   I am NOT a supporter of Peter Obi and I have NO intention of becoming one. I am however interested on what his supporters represent and stand for and that is the subject of this essay.   They are worthy of my…
