By Michael Uwaechie Thank you, Aunty Joy! I had long heard of your towering personality from family members, yet my first true encounter with you was as fortuitous as it was providential.

By Farooq A. Kperogi The events and atmospherics of the past few days in Nigeria feel eerily and frighteningly familiar. They are redolent of the disabling instability and helplessness (and more) of 2014 and 2015 when Goodluck Jonathan was president. Three crises are unfolding in near synchrony.

By Dakuku Peterside After every election in Nigeria—especially the contentious ones—a familiar chorus rises: "They will rig it." "Nothing will change."
