The Resurrection of Muhammadu Buhari… By Abdullahi O. Haruna Haruspice

Emporium Reporters

He was pronounced dead by those with credible inside sources, a professor in Atlanta swore to high heavens that President Muhammadu Buhari had died. His satanic audacity was later corroborated by Nnamdi Kanu. So sure were these two young Nigerians that they rechristen him Jubril of Sudan! In blind posture, they dissected the man in pictorial frame- using every part of the man’s body to frame and illustrate their fallacy. Tragically, millions of supposedly educated people bought into the narrative, and the story of Jubril of Sudan gained its desired…

How ASUU is Holding the knife for Government By Haruspice

Emporium Reporters

Nothing kills productivity and development like politics and unionism. In Nigeria, politics and union are not defined by clear ideology or altruism, but motivated by personal whims and caprices, nothing altruistic. ASUU has extended its strike and the politicians care not because most of them have no personal business with public universities as their wards are walled up in private luxurious universities.   Part of ASUU demands is the absence of infrastructure, but the little existing ones are now left to decay due to the closure of universities. A typical…

Aregbesola and the Rascal Intruder By Haruspice

Emporium Reporters

You rushed abroad with the deadly erroneous conclusion that the place reeked of milk and honey, only to realise that the place is not a welfarist society where almost everything is given to you for free like in Nigeria. After many years of doing many jobs and paying for every damn comfort you enjoy, you then realised how sapped your life is and boom you become frustrated and paranoid. In your constricted bitterness, you turn your warped anger on your country and its officials.   Conservatively, the above scenario describes…

Kashim Akor and the new spirit of communalism… By Haruspice

Emporium Reporters

Igalaland was once beautifully rooted in a close-knitted existence where everyone was for all and all for one. An Igalaman anywhere is a brother everywhere to someone somewhere. Our home in Zaria used to be a convergence for every Igala in that precinct – so we grew up with the innocent notion that every Igala was biologically related to our parents. That was the era where love dominated human existence and the values that defines humanity was purely altruistic. In those days of fascinating reference, Igala sons and daughters come…

A Champion does not prove himself… By Haruspice

Emporium Reporters

A champion does not prove himself, those who want to do so, do. Anthony Joshua didn’t fail, he stepped aside for a new champion. Only a fool thinks life is always on the bed. Today, you win, tomorrow you are defeated, such is the rotating template of life. Those who want the world are the ones who groan when they fail, forgetting that, before them, there were others. Failure itself is a triumph, for you can’t even fail when you don’t try, you can only fail against a champion –…

What would make the Catholic Church build a mosque? By Abdullahi O Haruna (Haruspice)

Emporium Reporters

The above question swims in curious crescendo in the minds of people who witnessed the commissioning of a mosque built by The Missionary Society of Saint Paul of Nigeria (MSP), a Society of Apostolic Life of Diocesan Right in the Roman Catholic Church, in a village called Pagada in Gwagwalada Area Council of Abuja, Nigeria. The community predominantly carved in Muslim inhabitants got the gesture from this church group at a time battle for religious supremacy was rift with the two dominant faith group in Nigeria are embroiled in a…

Femi Odekunle; The pains that wont go! By Haruspice

Emporium Reporters

He called me, ‘Spicy, come January 7th to 12th 2021, we shall go into hiding -somewhere in Nasarawa state where work on the book you wrote on me can be finally done’. Which I answered with an exciting voice,’ Yes sir’! 12 December 2020, the man came down with the deadly virus. My professor was taken to isolation where the journey to his eventual departure began. He battled the virus just like he had battled all other burdens of life. On the 12th day of his isolation, he tested negative…

EDWARD ONOJA @46: OF MYSTERY AND PROVIDENCE By Abdullahi O.Haruna

Emporium Reporters

From afar , he appears distant and tough , get close to him, you will find a meekly, effervescent and godly man. Two things Chief Edward Onoja won’t joke with; sickness and scholarship! He can empty his account to fund the hospital bill of a sick person caught in the jerky situation of want. I am a living testimony of how he has used his money and good heart to save people from the grip of death. My friend and brother Hon Ayofa Omonu was at the verge of death,…

Buhari- Akpabio, The Great Betrayal By Abdullahi O.Haruna Haruspice

Emporium Reporters

Attracted by his uncommon manifestations of leadership as Governor of Akwa Ibom State, where he literarily turned the state to a fascinating reference of infrastructural valour, so utilized was the resources of the oil-rich state that accolades, awards and pleasurable reviews greeted Godswill Akpabio. It was this resounding governance template that got President Muhammadu Buhari’s attention and in no time, machinery was put in place to have the man integrated into his next level government- little did Buhari knew that he was bringing a man that would stain his administration…

The Dubai Voyage of Shame, Selfie and Backend…

Emporium Reporters

They were so dead sure of victory that Dino referred to their man as the incoming president and disrespectfully referred to Buhari as the expired president. While Buhari combed every corner of Nigeria canvassing for votes, they stayed put in Dubai strategizing, scheming and partying expecting a miracle from Hushpuppi their master strategist. They hurried home to pressure the president to sign an ominous electoral law and got tons of journalists to write persuasively for the law and got a senior member of the judiciary – the number three man…
