Soyinka Faults Trump’s Threat: “Madness to Help with Guns a-Blazing”

Nobel laureate Wole Soyinka has condemned President Donald Trump’s threat of a US military invasion of Nigeria over alleged “Christian genocide,” describing the proposed intervention as “madness.” Soyinka, after meeting Benue’s Governor Hyacinth Alia, stated to journalists that offering “help” with “guns a-blazing” and poor understanding of complex crises is reckless and disrespectful to victims and those seeking genuine solutions. Trump had previously threatened to halt US aid and send troops to Nigeria to “wipe out the Islamic terrorists” if attacks on Christians continued. Soyinka argued that such an approach disregards the origins and complexities of insecurity in Nigeria, insisting on the need for thoughtful, respectful engagement and for local authorities to fulfill their duties to citizens. Soyinka urged international partners to respect Nigeria’s sovereignty and urged government leaders to keep working on solutions rooted in careful analysis, rather than […]

Why Goodluck Jonathan Stepped Back From Politics

Former President Goodluck Jonathan explained that his membership in the West African Elders Forum (WAEF) requires strict non-partisanship, which has kept him out of active politics. Speaking at his foundation’s 10th anniversary, Jonathan noted the forum’s mission is to prevent election crises across West Africa, intervening before problems escalate. Jonathan admitted he disappointed associates who expected a return to politics, but adherence to WAEF rules is a priority. He condemned the “rascality” in the current political climate and called for more responsible and prepared leadership. He reflected sadly on the kidnapping of 25 girls in Kebbi State, recalling similar incidents from his presidency, and offered prayers for their safe return. Jonathan said his foundation—focused on democracy and governance after advice from Tony Elumelu—committed to advancing democracy, peace, and institutional reforms across Africa, including mediation and building trust between citizens and […]

Nigeria and UN Sign Pact to Improve Elections and Stability

Nigeria and the United Nations have signed a new Regional Partnership for Democracy, aimed at strengthening elections, political stability, and democratic institutions in West Africa. The agreement was announced in Abuja, with the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Yusuf Tuggar, highlighting Nigeria’s commitment to building a stable and people-centered democracy. The partnership is designed to help African nations overcome challenges such as weak institutions, low citizen participation, and political violence. Despite national and regional reforms, issues like flawed elections and unconstitutional government changes continue in several countries. The new pact seeks to address these problems by promoting democracy rooted in African values. Minister Tuggar described the agreement as part of President Bola Tinubu’s vision for boosting democracy on the continent. The Regional Partnership for Democracy Secretariat will operate from Nigeria’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, while a technical team will be based […]

Trump’s Comments Reflect Nigeria’s Deeper Problems, Says Bishop Kukah

Catholic Bishop Matthew Hassan Kukah of Sokoto Diocese says recent remarks by former U.S. President Donald Trump on Nigeria point to the country’s ongoing internal problems, rather than being the cause of them. Speaking in Lagos at the 60th birthday celebration for journalist and former presidential aide Reuben Abati, Bishop Kukah addressed Trump’s October 31 statement. Trump had called Nigeria a “Country of Particular Concern” due to reports of attacks on Christians and warned of possible U.S. actions if this continued. Bishop Kukah emphasized that Trump’s comments should make Nigerian leaders reflect on the country’s foundational issues. He noted, “Trump is not our problem. He is only repeating what we have ignored. The real challenge lies within Nigeria.” He described Nigeria as a nation facing weak institutions, unstable values, and a lack of shared national vision. Kukah said, “If we […]

Coalition Against Galamsey Condemns Attack on Anti-Mining Officers in Asutifi North

The Coalition Against Galamsey, Ghana, has strongly condemned the violent attack on members of the National Anti-Illegal Mining Operations Squad (NAIMOS) and other security personnel during a recent enforcement operation in the Asutifi North District. In an official statement, the Coalition described the assault — reportedly involving a sitting Member of Parliament accused of inciting residents to confront state officials — as a “grave affront to national security, democratic governance, and the rule of law.” The group warned that illegal mining (galamsey) continues to destroy rivers, forests, and farming lands, posing a direct threat to Ghana’s environment, economy, and public health. It added that any attack on enforcement officers is an attack on the state and the future of its citizens. The Coalition called on President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo to reaffirm his zero-tolerance policy against political interference in the […]

Tanzania Votes as President Samia Suluhu Hassan Heads for Easy Re-Election

Voters across Tanzania are heading to the polls on Wednesday to elect a new president, parliament, and local councillors. But despite the appearance of a competitive race, few doubt the outcome: President Samia Suluhu Hassan is expected to win comfortably, extending the ruling Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM) party’s six-decade hold on power. The CCM—known as the Party of the Revolution—has governed Tanzania uninterrupted for 64 years. And while multiple candidates are listed on the ballot, analysts and rights groups say the field has been heavily tilted in favor of the incumbent. “This election is more of a coronation than a contest,” said political analyst Joseph Mwaipopo. “The opposition has been systematically weakened, leaving voters with little real choice.” Opposition Silenced Before the Vote Human rights organizations have reported widespread intimidation of opposition figures, activists, and journalists ahead of the election.

FATF Removes Nigeria, South Africa, Mozambique, and Burkina Faso from Grey List

A global financial crimes watchdog, the Financial Action Task Force (FATF), has officially removed South Africa, Nigeria, Mozambique, and Burkina Faso from its “grey list” of countries under increased monitoring for money laundering and terrorist financing concerns. The FATF, headquartered in France, announced the decision on Friday following what it described as “successful on-site visits” that confirmed significant progress by all four countries in addressing identified deficiencies within the agreed timelines. The organization maintains two key lists: the “grey list,” which includes countries making efforts to correct weaknesses in their anti-money laundering frameworks, and the “black list,” reserved for jurisdictions that pose the highest financial crime risks and show little cooperation. FATF President Elisa de Anda Madrazo called the delisting “a positive story for the continent of Africa,” noting that each country demonstrated substantial reforms. According to the FATF, South […]

UNYF Urges INEC Chair to Remove Barriers to PVC Collection

The Unified Nigeria Youth Forum (UNYF) has urged the newly appointed Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Prof. Joash Ojo Amupitan, to prioritise accessibility, transparency, and accountability in managing Nigeria’s electoral process. In a statement issued on Saturday in Abuja, the Forum’s National President, Comrade Toriah Olajide Filani, said the credibility of future elections depends largely on how inclusive and accessible voter registration and Permanent Voter Card (PVC) collection become under the new leadership. Filani expressed concern that millions of eligible Nigerians remain unable to obtain their PVCs due to administrative bottlenecks and limited access to registration centres, especially in rural areas. “Despite the introduction of digital systems, many citizens lack internet access or the infrastructure to benefit,” he said. “In Lagos, for example, people queue as early as 2:00 a.m. just to register, yet many still leave […]
