By Femi Fani-Kayode President Donald J. Trump, the 45th President of the United States of America and the leader of the free world, is God’s annointed.

THE PUBLIC SPHERE with Chido Nwakanma The voltage of anger in the land can burn some installations. The most threatened currently are the power distribution companies otherwise addressed with the not-so-elegant cognomen Discos. They have been dancing the disco for seven years now.The anger stems from the necessary but unjustified hike in electricity tariffs. The last statement sounds like a contradiction. It is deliberate.It is …

August 30, 2020 - by Precise Post - Leave a Comment

Before now, it was the unprovoked ethnic cleansing and the rampant murder of Igbos in the north that ignited the Biafran war. These days, the government is now using security agents to wipe out unarmed Igbo youths in broad daylight, forgetting that these people have families and loved ones. While these Igbo youths do no carry guns, the government makes excuses for itself to justify …

Abuja – The game of politics is all about how sensitized a politician can be when moves are being conceived. A good politician should be able to see danger prior it’s coming, and such should also be able to make predictions in order to calculate moves. However, it is very much rare for anyone who is conversant with Nigerian politics to say that he or …

Niran Adedokun Abuja (Precise Post)- A former Minister of Petroleum Resources, Diezani Alison-Maduke, stepped on the tail of the tiger this last week.

I was a tiny little boy at Government College Umuahia in 1999 when Orji Uzor Kalu began his first reign as the Governor of Abia state. It was after years of military bastardization of the country’s economy and an uninterrupted looting spree by its evil-minded officers, just after the ‘heavenly’ intervention that led to the death of Nigeria’s most notorious thief, Sani Abacha. The atmosphere …
