APC will impregnate more stray brides, by Funke Egbemode

Emporium Reporters

The woman advertised, the man bought. Willing buyer, willing seller principle is at play in Nigeria. Look. If you push the bosom of a full breasted woman in the face of a man, his first thought most likely would be to grab the succulent opportunity with both hands, whether he proceeds to the next stage to devour and ravage to his heart’s content depends on a few other factors. But most men will rise to the occasion. Indeed, if they don’t, won’t the woman offering feel insulted? I even think…

Tinubu’s Àjàntálá son By Festus Adedayo

Emporium Reporters

Through its ancient mythology, Yoruba had a counterpoise of the western Frankenstein monster. Its is a negatively phenomenal child called Àjàntálá. In folklore and as a cultural signifier, the Àjàntálá was a misbegotten child, a product of his father’s disobedience to the un-science of, though life-shaping, ancient epistemology and practices. Àjàntálá’s hunter father had disobeyed widely held myth that when hunters’ wives were pregnant, they should cease hunting. The belief was that, if they shot a cantankerous game, it may, in anger, displace the foetus inside their wives and become…

Umo Eno, Oborevwori and Okowa’s political harlotry By Festus Adedayo

Emporium Reporters

Is there morality in politics? Or, should there be morality in politics? Governors of Akwa-Ibom and Delta States, Umo Eno, Sheriff Oborevwori and ex-governor of Delta State, Ifeanyi Okowa, are of the opinion that there isn’t. Or, there shouldn’t be. They made this known last week in epistles that should be fittingly entitled, “An ode to betrayal and betrayers”. Like blabbering kid thieves caught stealing from a pot of soup, Eno and Okowa waffled pitifully, in a manner that beggars belief, on why they abandoned/abandoning the PDP, a faithful political…

Nigeria: A nation unto itself? By abiodun KOMOLAFE.

Emporium Reporters

One reason many Nigerians voted for the All Progressives Congress (APC) was its manifesto commitment to laying the foundation for a Nordic-Scandinavian and German-style social market economy. This is a model that promises a blend of economic efficiency and social welfare that appeals to the aspirations of a more equitable society.   A social market economy is grounded in achieving macroeconomic stability to foster sustainable development and safeguard living standards. However, this core principle appears to have been overshadowed by the severity of economic challenges faced upon taking office.  …

Emporium Reporters

In orchestra of governance, each minister in a government plays a crucial note, Mohammed Idris stands as the lead trumpeter—clear, confident, and commanding. As Minister of Information and National Orientation, he doesn’t just speak for the administration; he conducts a symphony of narratives that spotlight President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s milestones, turning policy into poetry for the people.   My research traces the deliberate brushstrokes of Mal. Mohammed Idris, who, like a master painter, uses communication as his canvas. With each stroke be it a speech, press release, or national address…

From headwinds to tailwinds – under Tinubu, Nigeria propels forward By Sunday Dare

Emporium Reporters

Two years into President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration, Nigeria is undergoing a bold recalibration. A country once caught in the inertia of subsidy politics and policy hesitancy is now charting a new course, marked by structural reforms, fiscal reengineering, and renewed international engagement.   From the outset, President Tinubu signalled an intent to stabilize Nigeria’s economy and fundamentally reset it. As Nigeria arrives at the halfway mark of this administration’s tenure, early evidence suggests that this pivot is not only well underway – it is beginning to deliver.   The…
