The CAMA 2020 heralded a new beginning as work on the BOR began in earnest, scaling through extensive development and testing in line…

Ministerial List: To Serve or To Eat? By Olusegun Adeniyi

Emporium Reporters

Tomorrow, 28th July, will mark exactly five months since President Bola Ahmed Tinubu was elected. Yet he still does not have his cabinet in place. This says a great deal about his preparedness for office as well as the nature of ministerial appointments in our country. If the basis for appointment was about service to the people and delivering the public good, the issue of ‘pressure’ to which we hear the president is being subjected (an excuse for the delay) should not arise. But perhaps we should cut the president…

The Niger coup, Emefiele and the president’s friend, Asari By Festus Adedayo

Emporium Reporters

Africa slumped again last week into the hands of its traditional enemies. The continent has not been the same since midnight of January 13, 1963.

Togo then became the first of such violent takeover of men in Khaki in the French and British colonies of Africa, thus breaking the symbolic hymen of the innocence of Africa. The wave of democratization in…

The dark magic powder called love potion, by Funke Egbemode

Emporium Reporters

Love potion. Is it real? Does it still work?

It is one that rubs many people, especially men, the wrong way. It is one of the topics that earned me a warning from one of my close friends,…
