By Chidi Chukwutem It has become fashionable in Nigeria’s political space to equate silence with failure and noise with effectiveness. A recent article titled “Ned Nwoko Is Not Hated for Honesty but Criticized for Failed Representation” by one Jude Bruno Amamosa reflects this misconception. While constructive criticism is a vital part of democracy, it must rest on truth, not rhetoric. When one examines the facts objectively, Senator Ned Nwoko’s record in Delta North tells a story not of neglect or underperformance, but of strategic progress, measurable results, and people-focused governance built on integrity and substance rather than theatrics. Since assuming…

He warned that “the former council chairman cannot play God as the political future of Senator Nwoko was not in his hands” The…
By Mustapha Gembu Recent developments surrounding America’s blacklisting of Nigeria on the alleged grounds of a “Christian genocide” raise serious concerns about the true motives behind such actions. While the United States presents its position as a humanitarian intervention, evidence suggests a deeper, more strategic interest—namely, the exploitation of Nigeria’s vast natural resources. Nigeria is abundantly endowed with oil, gas, and solid minerals, including gold in Zamfara and large deposits of lithium in Nasarawa and Kwara States, among others scattered across the country. These resources have become increasingly critical to the global energy transition, particularly lithium, which is essential for…

Everyone talks about President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s policies, the fuel subsidy removal, exchange rate reforms, and major infrastructure drive, but few truly grasp what lies beneath. Beyond the surface-level economic changes, Nigeria is experiencing something deeper: a quiet political and cultural revolution that’s redefining who we are as a nation. What President Tinubu is doing goes beyond governance. It’s about freeing Nigeria from decades of dependency and foreign approval. For too long, our leaders sought validation from abroad before making bold decisions at home. PBAT is breaking that cycle, insisting that Nigeria’s progress must be decided by Nigerians, not dictated…
