Nigeria is a secular state, there is no doubt about that. However, at some point, especially under the present administration, President Buhari, many began to doubt if we are really a secular state. The consistent killing and arresting of ethnic minorities have continued to dent the works the Federal Government is trying to do for the masses. The floating court order and absolute disregard of the rule of law have raised the question if we are genuinely practicing democracy under the current administration. The continued fracas between Iran and the US have left everyone wondering if it will have an adverse effect on the economic and political situations in the country for a lot of reasons. Firstly, Nigeria is a great US ally. However, for some time, the position has often shifted because of the lack of religious tolerance by the current administration. Leaders of religious sects of various divide have been held in detention by Buhari even after they were ordered to be release...

If you have just experienced the GOTV E48-32 Error on your device, I want to assure you to be calm and stop panicking. It is not the time to start calling their customer care line or start looking for an installer either. Understand that the decoder and cables connected to your device are machines and can sometimes malfunction. Sometimes it is as a result of human activities, at other times, it is not so as we claim. When you experience the GOTV E48-32, the first thing you ought to do is to unplug your GOTV decoder, insert it in your neighbor's device and try to see if it will work with their antenna. If it does, you now have a cable or antenna problem. At this stage, most people have started calling their service centers, but as I said before, it is not the time to panic. The cable used to connect to your GOTV device in Nigeria or Kenya is cooper. Meaning, if it is manhandled roughly, it will break internally without you even knowing. In order not to fall prey to installer...

On February 23rd and March 16th, 2019, National and State elections were held in almost every nook and cranny of Nigeria to elect representatives that will serve for another four years. As harmless as that sounds, it wasn't what we expected that marred the elections and why it was considered as one of the worst elections in the history of this country. It was the continuous effort of the incumbent elected officers to continue holding on to power even to the detriment of people's right and subjection of people's will. In the North was the alleged dollar embezzler Governor Ganduje of Kano State, in the West is the threat of Bola Ahmed Tinubu an APC chieftain and member of the leading party in the country. The last camel that broke the straw back was the subjection of the peoples will in Imo State, the South East of Nigeria, where an incumbent Governor had to be declared the winner of his Senate seat by the electoral officer under duress. To a foreigner outs...

 It is no longer news that in February of this year Nigerians will match in their millions to vote for a credible candidate during the upcoming elections. While we are happy that democracy is continuously growing in this country, we cannot, however, stop to look back at what has been a torrid four years for Nigerians. The Buhari administration came into power when Nigeria was going through the most wicked time of corruption in the country. Campaigning on the change mantra, the Apc decided to tackle corruption in all its ramifications. So far, the challenges before it against corruption has not been an easy one in the past four years. From the house of assembly to the highest court in the land, the Buhari administration has faced countless challenges.  However, it is still left to be seen if they contributed to their downfall. As the general election draws near, millions of people are asking the same questions: are we going to continue being the poverty capital of the...

The West African countries of Ghana and Nigeria have an ongoing rivalry between them akin to that of siblings. From football, to politics, to entertainment, citizens of each country always want to demonstrate their superiority over the other, howbeit not in a hateful or biased manner. It is always more bants than facts. There have been several episodes, of ‘social media wars’ or ‘Twitter Fights’ between citizens of both countries that leaves us all clutching our stomach with laughter. Through it all though, it is obvious that it is all love and sport. In this post, we attempt to give reasons why Nigerians, despite the rivalry with their Ghanian counterparts, should visit the Gold Coast. Just like Nigeria, Ghana is rich in history, mineral resources, culture, tradition and places of interest to see and visit. Many Nigerians do not even know that in Ghana you have Hausa and Fulani speaking people like there are in Nigeria. Cousins   Ghanians are like cousins to Nigeri...
