By Citizen Bolaji O. AkinyemiApostle and Nation Builder Nigeria woke up yet again to the familiar sound of grief—another community, another pool of innocent blood, another government response wrapped in condemnation and curfew. The killing at Angwan Rukuba in Jos North is not an isolated tragedy; it is a continuation of a pattern that has outlived excuses, outgrown political spin, and now confronts the conscience of both the State and the Church. A 48-hour curfew has been declared. Movement restricted. Silence enforced. But curfew cannot cure bloodshed. It cannot answer the piercing question rising from the ground: who is killing…

By Citizen Bolaji O. Akinyemi In every African home, when elders quarrel over the cooking pot, the wise do not linger at the scene of the insult.They return later—for the meat. Because the meat is the meaning. When Tunde Odesola chronicled the public brawl between Dele Momodu, Femi Fani-Kayode, and Reno Omokri, he captured the noise.But the nation, distracted by the spectacle, abandoned the substance. Now the dust has settled. Let us return to the pot. The Real Issue They Buried At the center of that noisy exchange was a dangerous comparison—one that should have triggered national reflection: The suggestion…

Citizen Bolaji O. Akinyemi. Politics, like the street game of Whot (WOTH), is not won by the loudest player—but by the one who understands when to drop the last card. For a while now, the APC has played the game like a master of the table—calculating, patient, and ruthless in execution. One by one, the opposition cards have been neutralised. APC’s Opening Hands: Breaking the Table First, the quiet conquest of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP. Not by outright defeat—but by stealth division: Structure weakened Leadership split Soul and body separated Today, one could argue: The body of the PDP…

By Citizen Dr. Bolaji O. Akinyemi Your Excellency,Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, I write to you not as a critic, nor as a partisan of any camp, but as a concerned citizen standing within a generation that has watched your journey, studied your resilience, and acknowledged your place in the long and unfinished story of Nigeria. This is not a letter about ambition. It is a letter about history. Because there comes a moment in the life of every statesman when the question before him is no longer: “What do I still want to become?” But rather: “What does my nation need…

Citizen Dr Bolaji O Akinyemi The Government of the day read and interpreted the optics at Kano well. I am however worried about the speculative public reading of the audio signals from Ilorin. What was witnessed in Ilorin is pre-election engineering. And history has shown, both in Nigeria and elsewhere, that when political outcomes are shaped long before ballots are printed, emotional outrage after the fact achieves nothing. What happened in Kano — Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso hosting Peter Obi — was not just optics. It triggered a counter-signal. And the remarks attributed to Ayo Salami at the Wole Soyinka Centre…
