Protest Is the Oxygen of Democracy, Written by Adeola Soetan
•
“Tell Your Papa” by Eedris is a good satirical protest song that conveys the known bitter truth to totalitarian power.

I believe Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, Written by Fisayo Soyombo

Tinubu: A Squirrel That Climbed The Tree, Left Nigerians Hopeless, By Buhari Olanrewaju Ahmed
•
The lawlessness in Nigeria today is not accidental; it has been nurtured by those entrusted with leadership. Before assuming power, they weep before the masses, rolling on the ground, making empty promises to the oppressed. But once they seize power, they transform into ruthless predators, sacrificing the very people they…

•
Lagos, once envisioned as the economic heartbeat of Nigeria, has now become a city overwhelmed by filth, poor drainage, and government negligence.
