Twenty Seven Years After: The Withering Continues
As Boney Akaeze writes in the the Atlantic Post Opinion Section, June 12 was meant to honour democracy, but 27 years later Nigeria still looks trapped by the same elite politics, broken trust and deepening hardship.

Excerpt:
Twenty-seven years after military rule, Nigeria is still haunted by the same betrayal of hope: a democracy celebrated in speeches, yet hollowed out by impunity, poverty, and elite capture. Boney Akaeze’s sharp reflection on June 12 asks the question many are too afraid to confront: what exactly did civil rule deliver, and who has truly benefited?

Boko Haram Burns Chibok Schools As Kautikari Residents Flee
Chibok is burning again. Kautikari’s schools were torched, families ran into the bush, and the silence from the authorities is deafening. How many more classrooms must become ash before Borno gets real protection?

Excerpt:
Kautikari has been thrown back into fear and fire. On Saturday evening, suspected Boko Haram/ISWAP fighters stormed the Chibok community in Borno State, torched two government schools and sent residents fleeing into the bushes as another symbol of rural life in the North-East was reduced to smoke and panic. The attack is especially chilling because it hit classrooms again, in a place already scarred by years of insurgent violence and national trauma.

Tinubu says June 12 secured democracy. But 27 years on, the real test is brutal: can Nigeria build a common will, or will elections keep masking a nation still divided by pain and distrust? “Democracy must be felt in the pocket” — so where is the relief?

June 12 is no longer just a memory of democracy won; it is now a test of whether Nigeria can turn that victory into shared prosperity. Tinubu’s sharpest line, that “democracy must be felt in the pocket”, reframes the entire speech as an indictment of elite celebration without mass relief. Yet the deeper question sits beneath the applause: how do you build one nation out of many when the struggle is still to forge a common will?

EXCERPT
This is the kind of political scandal that can blow open a party’s credibility overnight. A senatorial aspirant’s N20 million EFCC petition has now collided with bribery claims, WhatsApp receipts and a legal war over Peter Obi, leaving one burning question: was this screening process a nomination exercise or a monetised political ambush?

Kaduna is bleeding again. Reports that “repentant” bandits ambushed and killed soldiers have reopened one brutal question: is Nigeria’s reintegration policy protecting peace, or protecting impunity? Families wait, facts lag, and anger is rising.

Kaduna is bleeding again, and this time the outrage is sharper because the victims are soldiers. Reports that “repentant” bandits ambushed and killed troops have reopened the ugly debate over Nigeria’s security experiment, the silence that often follows major attacks, and the growing suspicion that rehabilitation without accountability is becoming a licence for impunity.

The abduction of pupils and teachers in Oyo State has spiralled into a chilling national security test, with reports that the captors are demanding ransom, two Hilux vehicles, the release of jailed Ansaru commanders and even Sharia-related concessions before freeing the victims. The crisis has already turned deadly, with a teacher reportedly killed, while security experts warn that any concession could embolden violent groups across the country.

Court of Appeal Deals Fresh Blow to PDP’s Ibadan Power Struggle
PDP’s real problem is no longer just the court ruling. It is a party that keeps losing its legal footing while pretending the crisis is strategy.

CSP Abdulmajid Oyewole’s reported detention has turned a simmering interagency dispute into a full blown security crisis, after the NSCDC Mining Marshals accused the police’s FID Team N of unlawful interference, selective arrests and attempts to cripple its anti illegal mining operations. What began as a petition over the handling of a death investigation is now shaking trust between two armed federal agencies and raising fresh questions over who is really protecting — or obstructing — the fight against illegal mining in Nigeria.
