Nigeria Is Not Owned by Anyone—Except Those Who Build Her

  On this Democracy Day, I had intended to rest my pen. I wanted to leave the fate written on the walls of history to speak for itself. I thought perhaps the sacrifices of those who fought for democracy were enough testimony. Yet, in the final hour, a thought stirred within me, compelling me to write a message to all of us who have come together to form this sovereign nation called Nigeria. My message is particularly for those who believe that the business of Nigeria lies in the hands of a powerful few. Perhaps they are influenced by what the German sociologist Robert Michels described as the "Iron Law of Oligarchy" ,the tendency for power to concentrate in the hands of a small elite. Looking at our politics, our institutions, and our economy, one may be tempted to believe that the destiny of Nigeria is determined only by those who occupy powerful offices and influential positions. But history tells a different story. Nigeria does not belong to any president, governor, politi...

Would Arsenal Spring Upset Against Madrid Tonight?



Arsenal beating the current Real Madrid squad depends on several f

actors, including the form, tactics, injuries, and overall performance of both teams on the day of the match.


Real Madrid has one of the strongest squads in the world, with a rich history of success in both domestic and European competitions.


Madrid also have experience and depth in various positions. Arsenal, under Mikel Arteta, has shown significant improvement, especially in the Premier League. Players like Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli, and Martin Ødegaard have been instrumental in their recent success, and their youthful energy and tactical discipline are strong assets.


Real Madrid's Experience: Real Madrid often plays a more pragmatic style, focusing on counter-attacks and making use of their individual brilliance. Their experience in high-pressure games, particularly in the Champions League, gives them an edge in tough situations.

Arsenal's Youthful Energy: Arsenal has adopted a more attacking, possession-based approach under Arteta. They can overwhelm teams with their intensity and fast transitions, but facing a team with the defensive stability and counter-attacking threat like Real Madrid could be challenging.


Head-to-Head Record:

Historically, Real Madrid has had the upper hand in European matchups. Arsenal has struggled against elite teams in the Champions League in the past, but they have grown stronger in recent years.


Current Form:

Arsenal has been impressive in the Premier League, often showing resilience and creativity. However, Real Madrid's consistency in top-tier competitions, especially in the Champions League, is unmatched.


Injuries and Squad Depth:

The presence of key players on the field, or injuries to any key figures, could influence the outcome. Real Madrid's squad depth, especially in midfield and attack, gives them a slight advantage in terms of options off the bench.




Real Madrid would likely be favorites due to their superior experience and depth, especially in European competitions. However, Arsenal under Arteta has been playing some exciting and potent football, and on a given day, they could definitely challenge or even defeat Real Madrid if they execute their game plan well.

BREAKING: Esa-Oke Youths Reunite as Survivors, Caution Pelumi against revisionism

....we’re not your campaign slogan Once upon a glorious, chaotic 2017, practically every able-bodied youth in Esa-Oke held honorary title in the land: Personal Assistant to Barrister Pelumi Olajengbesi. No interviews. No pay. Just passion, blind loyalty, and the stamina to chase him from one campaign ground to the next like a political body double. From Comrade Mainframe to Comrade Swiss, from Yinka Oba to the humble football boys who carried cones like national flags, we were there. We were the movement. Until, of course. Now in 2025, Barrister Pelumi, clearly inspired by a Netflix political drama is on a media tour telling anyone who’ll listen that he "settled everyone who worked for him." Settled who, please? Maybe in his dreams or in the metaverse. In the real world, the story’s a bit different. Those of us from Obokun, who hustled day and night, got exactly zero: no thank you, no handshake. Take Sami, now a former Ward 7 councillor, no thanks from Pelumi. Folusho? Aregbe...

Assassination Attempt: Police can’t deny what’s on their desk, says Amotekun boss

  The Corps Commander of the Osun Amotekun Corps , High Chief Dr Hon. Adekunle Isaac Omoyele , who is currently receiving treatment at an undisclosed hospital following an attempted assassination on his life on Monday, has strongly refuted the claims made by the Osun State Police Spokeperson regarding the incident. Reacting to the statement by the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), who claimed that investigations had not commenced because the Commander had not provided evidence of the attack, the Amotekun boss expressed deep disappointment, labeling the police response as insensitive and misleading. "It is shocking that a police spokesperson would say there is no evidence of an attack when the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) of Ota-Efun Division — the nearest jurisdiction to the incident — was immediately informed," the Commander said. "Officers from that division visited the scene the same night, assessed the damage, evacuated the vehicle, and advised me to seek ...
