Victim Kwara Must Change has compiled at least, 14 names of victims murdered in the deadly armed robbery attack that took place in Offa Community, Offa Local Government Area of Kwara State. The names gathered so far include 10 police officers and 4 civilians. However, we shall continue to update the list as we gather more details.

Lagos before Nigeria By Abdulrazaq O Hamzat

- March 05, 2019

More than 50 years before the creation of Nigeria as a united entity, Lagos is already a major centre of modern civilisation. Lagos history is rich in Yoruba tradition, trade and commerce, infrastructural development and cosmopolitanism." -EXTRACTED In the past few days, i have followed the unhealthy debate between easterners in Lagos and their host and i must say that such is really uncalled for. No tribe or race is an island of knowledge and civilisation. At one time or the other, each one of them contributed in one way or the other. While it is proper for every one to feel good about themselves and try as much as possible to amplify in a good way, their importance and contribution to the society they live in, it is also very crucial to take into account, the reality of other factors without attempting to ridicule the contribution of others. I therefore advise all those joining the discuss to thread with caution and avoid things that are capable of setting our peop...

Game Over as ‘’O to ge’’ shibboleth send Saraki into Lethe in Kwara

- January 02, 2019

Immediately one steps into Kwara State, either through Kogi State, Osun State, Oyo State, Niger State or even through Benin Republic, the first thing that stirs you in the face is ‘’O TO GE’’, the All Progressive Congress (APC) popular shibboleth that has sent the name Saraki into sudden Lethe in Kwara State. The slogan ‘’O to ge’’ literally means, ‘’Enough is Enough’’. It was adopted by Kwara State chapter of All Progressive Congress (APC) as a representation of the feelings and resolve of the people to end Saraki dynasty in 2019 general election and even before the election, it appeared the game is over for Bukola Saraki, as the slogan has sent the name Saraki into oblivion. Unlike in the past, when Saraki would be the dominant name ahead of the election. In Kwara today, the only name being heard is Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq and his O to ge slogan. Observers maintained that, in the past few months, life has not remained the same for the Senate President, as his clench and girth...
