PRESS STATEMENT ADC TO TINUBU: YOUR PORT REHAB AGREEMENT IS A ‘MUGU’ DEAL. - Says Nigeria taking loans to fund British Economy. The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has described the £746 million agreement signed by President Bola Tinubu during his state visit to the UK as a ‘mugu’ deal, which disproportionately favoured the United Kingdom and its economy, while leaving Nigeria with a massive debt.  In a statement signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Bolaji Abdullahi, the ADC said while the APC government has tried to pass off the deal as President Tinubu’s major achievement, it is in fact an achievement of the UK Government, which, through this deal, has managed to save its steel industry, protect thousands of UK jobs, and get Nigeria to pay for it.  The party calls on the Federal Government to provide full transparency by disclosing comprehensive details of the agreement, including the applicable interest rates, repayment terms, and any local content provisions or ob...

The Ijaw Quest for Nigeria’s Fourth Pillar The socio-political architecture of the Nigerian federation has long been anchored on a majoritarian construct known as the Wazobia paradigm. This linguistic and political fusion—derived from the Yoruba "Wa," the Hausa "Zo," and the Igbo "Bia," all meaning "come"—was designed to foster a sense of national unity among the three largest ethnic groups. However, this paradigm has inadvertently functioned as a mechanism of systemic constitutional exclusion for the Ijaw ethnic nationality, which stands as the fourth largest ethnic group in the country with a significant contribution to the nation’s oil-based economy. With a population estimated at 14.39 million as of 2024, representing approximately 6.16% of Nigeria’s total population, the Ijaw occupy a critical but often marginalized demographic space. This marginalization gap is not merely an accident of history but a structural outcome of the 1946 Richards ...
