In a moment steeped in solemnity and national reflection, the body of Nigeria’s former President, Muhammadu Buhari, was received on Tuesday with full military honors. His casket was respectfully borne by the Chief of Army Staff, Chief of Naval Staff, Chief of Air Staff, and Chief of Defence Staff as it arrived aboard a presidential aircraft. The poignant ceremony, attended by high-ranking officials and dignitaries, marked the final chapter in the life of a man who once led the nation. The military’s symbolic gesture underscored the late President’s deep ties to Nigeria’s armed forces and his enduring legacy. President Buhari passed away in London on Sunday at the age of 82. His burial marks a significant moment in the nation’s history as Nigerians reflect on his decades of service and leadership.

Peter Nwachukwu, husband of late gospel singer Osinachi, has been sentenced to death by hanging by the FCT High Court in Abuja. Justice Nwosu-Iheme ruled on April 28 that Nwachukwu was guilty of culpable homicide leading to Osinachi’s death in 2022. The case, filed by the Office of the Attorney-General, presented 23 charges including homicide, spousal abuse, and child cruelty. Seventeen witnesses and numerous exhibits were tendered, while Nwachukwu called four witnesses in his defence. Despite his lawyer’s plea for leniency, the court upheld the full weight of the law, sentencing him to death on the main charge and handing down various prison terms and fines on others

From the late Archbishop Desmond Tutu to Bishop Mathew Kuka, religious figures have always been renown for being some of the most outspoken humans, defending the vulnerable and persistently speaking uncomfortable truth to power. The current Pope is not an exception. Our state Benue, sadly, has a sitting governor priest namely Rev Fr Hyacinth Iormem Alia who rather than stand out to be counted amongst his priestly peers and upheld by posterity, is frantically playing politics with human lives, bent on concealing the truths around the genocide happening right under his watch. Our Padre politician, who ought to be an empathetic clergy, appears more interested in pleasing his party warheads in Abuja. He is clueless and tiptoeing than declaring war against the renewed existential threat to the poor, farming state. Today, as killer herdsmen are encircling our state and our people are being killed on a daily basis across the land in both remote farming locations and even at the doorsteps of t...

In the quiet of Easter Monday morning, the world lost not just a Pope, but a father, a friend, and a fearless voice for the forgotten. Pope Francis, born Jorge Mario Bergoglio, passed away peacefully at 88 in his Vatican residence. He was not a man of grand palaces or lofty words, but one who chose simplicity over splendor, and compassion over convention. From the moment he stepped onto the balcony in 2013, he was different — the first Latin American Pope, the first Jesuit, and the first to call himself simply, Francis. His journey was marked by courage — challenging injustice, embracing the outcast, and urging the Church to be less judgmental and more merciful. Even as illness weakened his body, his spirit remained unshaken. Pope Francis' final blessing came just days ago on Easter Sunday. Today, as the bells toll across St. Peter’s Square, the world bows in gratitude for a life lived in service, humility, and deep love. He is gone, but his foot...

Recently, in Abuja, our research publication mirroring the plights of domestic workers (DWs) in Nigeria was launched. Supported by the Rosa Luxemburg Foundation West Africa, the research looked into the precarious states of domestic workers in the country. It carried out interviews with DWs in both Abuja and Lagos to put searchlights on  factors such as their working hours,  pay, issues of sexual abuse, the readiness for the formation of unions amongst the workers so as to be part of the mainstream labour (eg the Nigeria Labour Congress) in Nigeria amongst other burning issues. The authors include Ms Hauwa Mustapha, an eminent researcher, labour activist and board member of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Comrade Lekan Soneye, an activist,  lecturer and researcher on informal workforce. Prof. Etannibi E.O. Alemika, an eminent researcher and retired professor of Criminology and Sociology of Law from the University of Jos (UNIJOS), was the consultant on the p...

A company's success depends not only on hiring top talent but also on retaining them. However, poor management behaviors can push even the most dedicated employees to seek opportunities elsewhere. Here are five bad management behaviors that drive good employees away and how they can be avoided. 1. Micromanaging Instead of Leading Micromanagers constantly hover over employees, second-guessing their decisions and controlling every task. This lack of trust stifles creativity, reduces confidence, and makes employees feel like mere tools rather than valued contributors. Talented professionals thrive in environments where they have autonomy and room to innovate. Solution: Trust your employees to do their jobs. Set clear expectations, provide guidance when necessary, and allow them to take ownership of their tasks. 2. Lack of Recognition and Appreciation Employees who consistently put in effort without acknowledgment can quickly become disengaged. When hard work goes un...
