Of coup, interim government and allied nonsense By Festus Adedayo

Emporium Reporters

At times like this, two works of literature are my abiding refuge. One, written over a century ago, speaks to the melee both in the APC and Nigeria as a whole. It is a poem entitled ‘The Second Coming’ by William Butler Yeats. It was written at a time similar to that of present Nigeria. It was a time when it looked like the world was coming to an end. The casualties of the First World War were benumbing and overwhelmingly high. The deaths of millions from the pangs of…

2023 Election: Are the security agencies ready for the el-Rufa’is? by Hassan Gimba

Emporium Reporters

The death of a thousand good men is not as tragic as having an unfit man in a position of national leadership – Usman dan Fodio.       The above quote by Sheikh Usman Ɗan Fodio, a Fulani philosopher, Islamic religious teacher, revolutionary, and leader who founded the Sokoto Caliphate and ruled as its first Caliph, is quite true.

Egoistic El-Rufai! By Olawale Olaleye

Emporium Reporters

Whatever informed Governor Nasir El-Rufai’s decision to make such an accusation against the presidency and yet, failed to properly lay the blame in the appropriate quarters, is probably why the president doesn’t take him seriously in the first place. He likes to pride in his supposed relationship with the president but does not realise that the man relates to him with extreme circumspection. I do not have any business with his insinuations, which are now being given life by several other people in the party. What I have a problem…

Atiku, El-Rufai, Udenta and the vindication of ‘Esu Odara’ By Tunde Olusunle

Emporium Reporters

Scholars are divided over what the most appropriate description and perception of Esu in Yoruba cosmology should be. The more widely held notion about Esu, is to make it the lexical parallel of Satan or the devil, in the English language. Esu within this context, connotes evil and devilry in all its ramifications. He is the purveyor and conveyor of wickedness, mischief, anguish, grief, even negativity in totality. Esu in popular perception, is mean-spirited, malevolent, devious, vile. The list goes on. This dimension to the Esu persona, considered as a…
