Sanusi Muhammad May 01, 2021

From independence in 1960 to May 29, 2015, Nigeria never passed through so an unfortunate situation as of today except the ill-fated civil war that could have been avoided.

Sanusi Muhammad Apr 17, 2021

From 2022, the polity will get charged by serious and masquerading politicians in aspiration for elective positions and their supporters.

Nigeria: A case of a two country

Sanusi Muhammad Mar 20, 2021

We need the best or we revolt in 2023

Sanusi Muhammad Mar 13, 2021

Expectedly, no citizen prays for any calamity to befall his country no matter the situation at hand.
