BREAKING BARRIERS: NATASHA AKPOTI-UDUAGHAN’S ₦100.3 BILLION LAWSUIT AND THE UPHILL BATTLE FOR GENDER REPRESENTATION IN NIGERIAN POLITICS Nigeria remains one of the lowest-ranked countries in the world regarding women's representation in national parliaments, according to the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU). The steady decline in female participation in politics since 2011 reached a new low in the 2023 elections, with women occupying only 3% of Senate seats and 4% of the House of Representatives. Despite constituting just over 10% of the 15,000 candidates who contested various positions at national and subnational levels, most female candidates ran under smaller parties, limiting their chances of electoral success. One of the most notable women in Nigerian politics, Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, has been at the center of a growing political storm. Her recent altercation with the Senate leadership over seat allocations has sparked heated debates on parliamentary decorum, gender bi...

CORRECTING THE NARRATIVE: A MILITARY PERSPECTIVE ON THE 1966 COUP AND CIVIL WAR IS NOT AN IGBO COUP The history of the Nigerian Civil War (1966–1970) continues to evoke strong emotions and differing interpretations. Recently, Femi Fani-Kayode’s post on his Facebook page on the 1966 coup and the war has sparked controversy, particularly in contrast to the account provided by former Head of State, General Ibrahim Babangida. It is imperative to correct misrepresentations and present a more accurate, military-grounded perspective—one that reflects the reality of events as experienced by those who participated in and witnessed them firsthand. Fani-Kayode's interpretation of the January 15, 1966, coup conveniently ignores a crucial aspect—the widely known intent to free Chief Obafemi Awolowo from prison and install him as Prime Minister. This motivation is often overlooked in revisionist narratives that attempt to cast the coup in purely ethnic terms. By focusing solely on the ethnic com...

THE NIGERIAN CIVIL WAR: A TRAGIC LEGACY OF CONFLICT, STARVATION, AND UNRESOLVED GRIEVANCES The Nigerian Civil War, also known as the Biafran War, remains one of the most devastating conflicts in African history. The war, which lasted from 1967 to 1970, resulted in the loss of millions of lives, particularly among the Igbo people. To this day, it remains a deep wound in Nigeria’s history, with many unresolved grievances and narratives that continue to shape the country's socio-political space. The events leading up to the war began with the January 15, 1966 coup, often labeled an "Igbo Coup" due to the ethnic background of some key figures. However, former military Head of State, General Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida (IBB), has refuted this claim, stating that the coup was not exclusively Igbo-led. According to Babangida’s book, A Journey in Service, Major Kaduna Nzeogwu, who led the coup, was Igbo only in name. Born and raised in Kaduna, he spoke fluent Hausa and identified ...
