Switch your X location to Germany, and you will not see even one sexy bum-shaking video of a TikTok or Instagram video vixen. Not one. Try it. Then switch back to Nigeria and you will be hit with it in a way that is unavoidable. It is so in your face. Our youths in Nigeria and sub-Saharan Africa are overexposed to online soft porn.

In a compelling address at the 4th C.O. Anah SAN Memorial Colloquium, Professor Chidi Odinkalu, an outspoken legal scholar and Chair of the Board of Directors at the International Refugee Rights Initiative (IRRI), eloquently defended the value of critical discourse regarding Nigeria’s judiciary.

Odinkalu cautioned that a far graver peril looms when citizens cease to engage with the judiciary…

One of the memorable moments from the presidential campaign ahead of Nigeria’s 2023 elections featured then ruling party candidate, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, at the Chatham House in London in December 2022 allocating to leading members of his entourage responsibility for answering various questions from members of the public.

At the time, Candidate Bola Tinubu explained that he did that to advertise the versatility and cohesion of his team. Many believed then that asking el-Rufai to respond to those questions show-cased his competence…
