By Eneh John Activism in Nigeria has a rich history, with individuals and groups fighting for social justice, democracy, and human rights. One notable aspect of this activism is the prominent role played by women.

We had just publishedour well-received biography of Samuel Shonibare, one of Nigeria’s richest men of the 60s. We wasted no time […]

Nigeria just concluded the most controversial election in her history. The nation is in shock as the thinking was that the introduction of technology will cure some of the weaknesses in our electoral system.

Many are of the view that, while INEC has had to improve […]

By Ismail Omipidan LAST Monday, the litigants in the Osun governorship tussle appeared before the three-man appeal panel, in Abuja, led by Justice M.L. Shuaibu.
