Loneliness killed Yekini •No, his family did - Neighbours •Seek probe of late footballer’s death

The late Super Eagles striker, Rashidi Yekini, may have died as a result of depression arising from loneliness that characterized the latter part of his life. Mourning fans and sports commentators said the late football star had become too self-withdrawn and cut down on social contacts and interaction that worsened a depression that apparently killed him at a private hospital in Ibadan, Oyo State, early Friday. They regret that colleagues and the government for which the player sacrificed his life and talent did nothing to save and rehabilitate him from his ordeal. But Yekini’s neighbours on Oni and Sons Street,…

By Raheem 'MOSHOESHOE' Oluwafunminiyi: Azazi and the sinews of peace

It is not all the time policy makers in Abuja speak the truth or stay true to the oath they take before occupying a political post, which ofcourse is total loyalty and patriotism to the nation. Infact, despite the intricacies bedevilling the country, most especially since the advent of the Jonathan administration, lies and deceit had taken center stage more than those of sincerity and truth. Two cases abound here when firstly, the current administration told shocked Nigerians about the existence of a cabal in the oil industry and for that reason, subsidies paid on fuel must as a matter…

By Obinna Akukwe: Yar'Adua wake up! Nigeria is boiling (2)

Yar’adua, Nigeria’s fourth democratically selected president. Yar’adua, Nigeria’s most unassuming president. Yar’adua, Nigeria’s most frail president. Yar’adua , Nigeria’s most educated president. Yar’adua , Nigeria’s only president with leftist ideology. The manner of your exit equals the manner of your entrance. Mysterious appearance and mysterious disappearance. State Governors Peter Odili, Donald Duke, Sam Egwu, Ahmed Makarfi, even Jerry Gana and Rochas Okorocha were all in the presidential race of 2007 and from nowhere you appeared through Obasanjoic abracadabra and became the ruling party flag bearer. All the presidential aspirants except Rochas and Jerry were commandeered to genuflect before His Royal…

By Oyakhamoh Carl Abu'Bakar: Nigerian Looting Class and the Witch-Syndrome

If there is a recurring decimal in the unfolding drama that has characterized the ugly Nigerian political space since the dawn of democracy since 1999, it’s the tendency by the ruling party to finger the opposition party or parties as the witch responsible for every reaction by a population governed by the worst of rulers in the history of the country. Earlier in the year, the Nigeria President made a blunder, the type that have characterized his style of statecraft since becoming the head of state after the death of Musa Yar’Adua in 2010. It will be recalled that having…

By Hakeem Babalola: TV2's false report about Nigerians in Hungary

I think I should start by saying this: Nothing makes me proud than seeing my country and its appointed representatives doing the right thing regarding our welfare. The recent false report by the Hungarian TV2 concerning Nigerian citizens is worth commenting on; and the appropriate response by our representatives is commendable. The Embassy of the Republic of Nigeria, Budapest had requested TV2 to correct the error that the Nigerian nationals were alleged to be culprits of a drug and rape case involving two female Hungarian minors. Gone were the days when no one seemed concerned about this kind of reports…

By Raheem 'MOSHOESHOE' Oluwafunminiyi: For the viability of UniOsun

While growing up as a kid, this writer was made to understand that for any organisation to have fallen like a pack of cards, it must have been as a result of two things: the first being as a result of the actions or inactions of women in such organisation, while the second is usually and most importantly attributed to disagreements over money. The latter is the major concern of this writer and when placed vis-a-vis the recent events happening at the Osun State University, Osogbo, (UNIOSUN) one would not be misplaced to agree with the above assertion. However, this…

By Francis Atuche: A capital market in coma

Introduction The 2008 global financial crisis spared no nation. It impacted every country with ferocious intensity, spiraling into lukewarm confidence and untold economic misery for people across the globe. Yet, for each country, depending on the potency of its unique counter prescription, the aftermath differed vastly. Some countries, either out of misguided intent or for lack of will to look beyond the frails of sentiments, called upon themselves the full wrath of the crisis. Other countries waged war against it, reaching for every imaginable policy tool to confront the crisis. As expected, the latter countries averted the full fury of…
