Trump challenges FBI Comey

Image
As events in the white house continue to prowl just like an epic thriller typical of an American box office drama, one need not a soothsayer to conclude the obvious. No doubt, the Trump white house ever since inception has been fraught with series of scandals, yet, the occupier of the west wing seems unshaken as he continues his show political greenness in absolutism. From the firing of former NSA boss Michael Flynn down to the abrupt dismissal of FBI boss James Comey, the white house has long refused to remain white both in honesty, integrity and patriotism. The FBI bureau till date remains of the most revered Agency in the U.S soil, and any such attempt to compromise his justice department will be tantamount to biting one's finger. Be it the 45th president of the United States, be it the Secretary of States or anybody else, the resultant effect might be too grievous to handle. "He was a good guy, and I hope you can let this go" The above statement cannot be far...

Macron gets inaugurated

Image
Elysee Palace today gets a new face as the controller of the nation's nuclear codes. In a contest that got so many at the edge of their seat, the end result remains that befitting of not just France per say, but also that of the EU, whose stance in Europe has been given a big boost by a Macron victory. At an elaborate ceremony marking the beginning of a new France, Macron promises to end the division that now surrounds the french people. In what so many has assumed to be the greatest of all events ever since the reign of Napoleon 1, the new french leader looks resolute enough in giving France the desired economy cum world stage image it deserved. Macron 39, defeated Marin Le Pen of the National Front party. The duo who contested a tight presidential first round election proceeded to a run-off which Emmanuel Macron of the Republique En Marche came out victorious with a flawless votes aggregate of 66%. The pro-trade and pro-EU centrist leader no doubt have become the youngest ...

Recovery process for the Chibok girls

Image
It is no more news that the Nigerian Government is pushing her limits beyond the far-reaching imaginations of millions of Nigerians most especially those in the diaspora as they watch with folded arms in a keen contest. The Government who have been largely criticized for playing the "Soft Handle" in tackling the immediate return of the kidnapped schoolgirls, has also been whipped by the opposition for playing too much galleria moments with the hearts and temperament of Nigerians whose campaign for the safe return of the Chibok schoolgirls, dates as far back as April 14,2014 when these girls were whisked away from their respective dormitory, as they prepare hard for their senior school leaving certificate examinations. In fact, that was the moments when so many Nigerians rose up to the occasion as they staged series of protest and civil right march, in demand for the rescue of over 219 schoolgirls, who they claim were victims of the ill-handling of security intelligence/cha...

Trump and FBI director Comey

Image
The story so far is yet to begin at the presidential west wing given series of controversies that have prevaricated the Trump administration.  No doubt, the issue are enormous as the American people watched closely with keen interest. The big battle continues irrespective of whose names gets into the troubled sheet at the president's oval office, but yet again, the scandals hover around just one name and that becomes the 44th president of the United States. From his uncompromising love for Vladimir Putin down to the sudden dismissal of Michael Flynn, the administration seems struggling with her nationalistic policies barely after an anti-climatic 100 days in office. Though, the Nov. 8 presidential election may have culminated with the painful loss of Hillary Clinton, the wave and call for more nose to the ground-stone seems unflinching given the supposed role played by the Kremlin alongside FBI director James Comey, who many acclaimed was largely responsible in given voters a ...

Victory for Emmanuel Macron

Image
A new dawn has finally emerged in France as centrist leader cum En Marche! presidential candidate Emmanuel Macron finally becomes president of France in what appeared to be a tight fierce contest between far right candidate Marian Le Pen. The duo who scaled through the first round of the election became the two last stars standing as french voters decides their fate. Macron who is an investment banker and former minister of the french economy had little going for him against a Le Pen whose populist theory and policy swept through the city of France like wild fire.     Le Pen prior to the second round of the election had remain an adherent of an absolute detachment of France from not just the European Union, but also an anti-NATO. She had also advocated for a strident immigration policy should she emerged the winner of today's election. Well, France had spoken as not even the Russian can upturn this result. Not at this time. Meanwhile, as the frenzy get ecstatic a...
