Armed Fulani Herdsmen Preoccupied with everyday living, unruffled politicking, unrestricted worship, busy days and quiet nights, Southern Nigerians have been paying little or no attention to the fact that two of Earth’s top 4 deadliest terrorist groups are at home and active in Nigeria. Popular Boko Haram have been constrained to the North East but the other are nomadic unchecked. Now, having restricted their operations to regions that separate North from South, they’ve finally announced their planned ubiquity beginning with an audacious assault on South Eastern State of Enugu on Monday 25 th April.   They are the Fulani militants. They’ve ransacked communities that lie on their grazing routes since 2010 (actually for decades), leaving thousands dead, more injured, tens of thousands displaced, with assets worth millions of naira destroyed on their exit. The ascension to power of Muhammadu Buhari, a Fulani, suspiciously coincides with the stepping up of their degree of

Troubled Senate President Bukola Saraki Embattled Nigerian Senate President Bukola Saraki has chosen to bring the hush-hush of APC politics to the open. In his response letter to Ovation publisher Dele Momodu, Mr Saraki has made several scintillating revelations as unspoken reasons for his persecution by the leadership of his party APC, a key reason being his opposition of a planned Muslim running mate for President Muhammadu Buhari in the 2015 elections.

Buhari Facing Mutiny From Hard-line Supporters By Uduak Umo In not-too-far past, Muhamma du Buhari was a No-No of a presidential candidate. Right thinking Nigerians knew that this man could never be president over smart-headed Africans. However, to prosecute an agenda to take Nigeria by removing Goodluck Jonathan, APC politicians, backed by disgruntled former PDP leaders like Obasanjo, lined up behind the same Buhari and labored hard to patch-work an, otherwise, dowdy sore image of the ex-general. To do this, they needed to recruit thousands of hard-line supporters who would maximize the atmosphere of speech liberty made possible by a most humane administration - that of a mild Commander-in-Chief – to cast aspersions at the image of the incumbent President. They called Buhari ‘Saviour’, ‘Redeemer’, ‘Final hope’ and many other sobriquets reserved for God and in the end they succeeded to make Buhari so popular that Attahiru Jega, the nations Elections chief, could rig in th
