Emporium Reporters

Concerned Rivers People, CRP, on Thursday took a swipe at Governor Siminalayi Fubara, Abiye Sekibo, Austin Opara and other dyed-in-the-wool Atiku Abubakar acolytes who addressed a media conference to curry support for the treacherous and failing Fubara while laughably claiming to support President Bola Tinubu.

Atiku Abubakar And His New Hobby, By Bayo Onanuga

Emporium Reporters

Alhaji Atiku Abubakar has certainly found a new hobby to keep himself busy, having failed to achieve his lifelong ambition of becoming the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. He is increasingly carving for himself the role of opposition-in-chief to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and his government. However, we notice that the former Vice-President, just like in his political contests, is also doing a poor job of it, offering pedestrian and uninformed interventions on our economy and other matters of public concerns. Atiku’s latest diatribe was another uncharitable commentary…

How will Tinubu, Atiku, Peter Obi address insecurity? — By Frederick Nwabufo

Emporium Reporters

Nigeria is caught in a maelstrom. Ravagers roam across the land unchallenged, extracting tolls in tears and blood from citizens. They expropriate land and govern according to their lust for violence. There is hopelessness in the streets as the country sinks deeper and deeper into a bloodfest. Insecurity will be the toughest trial of the next administration.   Insurgency, banditry and kidnapping have become a quotidian aspect of the Nigerian life.

Emporium Reporters

Distressing pieces of bad news are everywhere. From the murder of Miss Deborah Samuel Yakubu by students of Shehu Shagari College of Education in Sokoto last Thursday, to the immediate distancing of Nigerian politicians from her killing, hope that a post-Muhammadu Buhari Nigeria will not be clone of its unjust and inequitable era seems to be fading. Between the Deborah murder, the political mockery on the political arena and the lack of regards for Nigerians by Nigerian rulers, two explainers respond to the distresses: They are the Sekere and the…

Atiku Abubakar and the sexual history of the Nigerian presidency By Festus Adedayo

Emporium Reporters

In early 2014, the Zimbabwean public sphere literally caught fire. Rumours that the country’s former Prime Minister and the presidential candidate of the Movement for Democratic Change, (MDC) Morgan Tsvangirai, had suffered “a nasty blow from below,” euphemism for zero virility, spread like bushfire. At about the same time, the virility-restoring prowess of Emmanuel Makandiwa, a ‘miracle-working’ Pentecostal prophet, froze the stratosphere like snowflakes in winter. Estranged wife of Tsvangirai, Elizabeth Macheka, had lit the fire. In an interview she granted The Herald, which was entitled, Why I ditched Tsvangirai:…
