The Nigerian Senate (Red Chamber) under the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, is a joke. If anyone thinks the Senate is not a joke but represents an arm of government, it is still a joking arm of government where joking relationship seems not to be frowned upon.
To Take Back A Country -By Kene Obiezu

2 months ago | opinionnigeria.com | Kene Obiezu

Nigeria is neither a zoo nor a concentration camp; neither is the country a jungle. Describing the country as such no matter the provocation is ill-informed, ill-advised and ill-time. What Nigeria is not is a zoo, a concentration camp or a jungle. It is a country that has fallen on hard times, one abused by successive governments, which is now crying out for citizens to reclaim it.
A Jungle Without Justice -By Kene Obiezu

2 months ago | opinionnigeria.com | Kene Obiezu

As a country, Nigeria feels strange in so many ways. These feelings of strangeness are no doubt largely supplied by the aching possibility that anything can happen at any time. To reckon with the strangeness that bites them like serpents, Nigerians treat each other like strangers in competition for strangled resources. There is a kind of brutal and bludgeoning aggression that many Nigerians bring to bear in their relationship with each other.

2 months ago | opinionnigeria.com | Kene Obiezu

Instead of milk and honey, Nigeria is rather a country flowing with blood with numerous avoidable and unavoidable deaths, easily making Africa’s most populous economy and democracy one of the most dangerous countries on earth. Within the slaughter slab that the Nigerian space has become, every Nigeria has been spattered by blood to some degree in a country where everyday interactions have been turned to bloodbaths.
Nigeria’s North and its Leadership Mirage -By Usman Muhammad Salihu

Mar 30, 2025 | opinionnigeria.com | Usman Muhammad Salihu

Northern Nigeria stands at a defining moment in its history. Once the bastion of strong leadership and cultural resilience, the region is now plagued by a crisis of governance. The distinction between “leaders of the North” and “leaders in the North” has never been more pronounced. Leaders of the North are those who carry the burden of the region’s progress on their shoulders, while leaders in the North are mere seat-fillers—occupants of political positions without a true sense of duty.
Year 2025 Ramadan: Top 3 Comical Content Creators -By Abdulkadir Salaudeen

Mar 28, 2025 | opinionnigeria.com | Abdulkadir Salaudeen

I have devoted all my columns in the month of March—which coincides with the month of Ramadan—to Ramadan. This is the fifth column in that series (and with it) I shall conclude my discussion on Ramadan. In the month of Ramadan, Muslims all over the world strive harder to come closer to Allah than in any other month. This makes the fasting period a season in the Islamic calender year where Muslims seek spiritual upliftment. Muslims ply different paths to spiritual upliftment.
Why Philosophy for Children Matters in Nigeria -By Leo Igwe

Mar 28, 2025 | opinionnigeria.com | Leo Igwe

Until recently, I dismissed the idea of a philosophy for or with children because such an endeavor seemed not to be of any consequence. I thought children were too young, and intellectually immature to engage in philosophical inquiry. I thought philosophical endeavors were for adults, and ‘matured’ minds. I believed that philosophy was too abstract, and too dry for children to undertake, exercise, comprehend, or relate to. I studied philosophy for my first and second degrees.
