Former Minister of Education, Oby Ezekwesili, has reacted to a video of activist, Aisha Yesufu, sitting while the “new” National anthem was being recited at an event on Friday, May 31.   Taking to her X handle to share the said video, Ms, Yesufu wrote; “#NotMyNationalAnthem.”   Reacting via her X handle, Ezekwesili, who is also against the re-introduction of the old national anthem, wrote; “@AishaYesufu, Definitely #NotMyNationalAnthem as I already publicly conveyed. In my case, whenever and wherever the National Anthem is called for, I shall continue to sing #AriseOCompatriots as #MyNationalAnthem. The Lawmakers @nassnigeria and the @NGRPresident grievously breached the Constitutional provisions and process for amendment of legislation and therefore cannot foist another National Anthem on us. I refuse to join them in the Kangaroo Act of violating the Constitution.''

  The band’s founding members, Alan Mackenzie and Peter Cunnah, who are now working on their fifth album, said they were dismayed when they heard ‘Things Could Only Get Better’ behind   Rishi Sunak’s   election announcement. They revealed their first thought was: “Not again.” Speaking from his recording studio at home in Donegal, Cunnah said: “The fact that it’s gone back to a political thing, I find disturbing. I was thinking, can we get on with our lives? But now it’s come back. “You question, are we just some sort of protest song on a speaker down at the end of a street? It's like some very odd piece of gravity that you just can't escape.” The band has expressed regret at letting Tony Blair use the track in ‘97, saying they were accused of “having blood on their hands” after the UK got involved with the war in Iraq. Cunnah said: “I remember clearly, there was this wonderful sea change, and the nation had this feeling that there was a need for change. “Everyone was really beh

  One year has passed. The bold economic reforms Tinubu started have faltered. On day one, he had removed petrol subsidies with a pumped fist. But one year after sounding revolutionary at oath- taking, his government now pays petrol subsidies through the backdoor. And because nobody bothers with transparency, Tinubu hasn’t informed the public how much he now spends on petrol subsidies. Policy reversals have become a permanent feature of his government. Critics say the president does more soundbites than thorough planning and has been too arrogant to admit his mistakes. The opposition says the myth is unravelling itself. Tinubu’s ardent supporters believe he is an oracle. They think he only needs time to tame the tempest.  When Tinubu floated the naira, investors were delighted. It was supposed to open up the economy to foreign capital and investment. Tinubu said he had taken the bulls by the horns. But soon, the local currency tumbled off a cliff. The CBN  seemed helpless. It said the
