Virtually no one saw the sudden resignation of Dr. Umar Ganduje as National Chairman of APC coming at all.  Mega Mode Media exclusively learnt that Ganduje 's abrupt resignation is not unconnected with the reported looming defections of Musa Rabiu Kwakwanso from New Nigeria Democratic Party (NNDP) to the ruling APC.  Kwankwanso and Ganduje are both former governors who have been embroiled in political supremacy in Kano The latter,in fact, succeeded the former. Kano is key to victory in Nigeria's presidential elections because it is very populous. Amidst growing friction between President Tinubu and the northern bloc, the president has been seeking alternate strategies to capture Kano in the impending 2027 elections. Ganduje became National Chairman of the ruling party but Kwankwan...

Wife of Nigeria's former vice president, Titi Atiku,and Atiku Abubakar himself, had guests oooohing and aaaaaahing at their lovey dovey actions at a party heeld to celebrate Titi's 75th birthday.

I married two, three, four, she tolerated me," Atiku said, to loud ap...

Chief MKO Abiola, casting his vote, fateful June 12, 1993  Today, June 12 has been celebrated as Nigeria's Democracy Day for some years now. It use to be May 29, before the Buhari administration changed it to the current day.       President Bola Tinubu  This satisfies the yearnings if several pro democracy activists who firmly believe that the bedrock of migeria's unbroken Democratic rule for 26 years and counting, was laid by the election adjudged as the freest and fairest in Nigeria which held on this date in 1993.  Judging by revelations by Ibrahim Babanguda who suspended poll announcements, Henry Nwosu who shepherded the electoral commission that  organized the elections and several credible sources, MKO Abiola won the election, later cancelled by Gen. Sani Abacha after sacking the interim national government which Babangida set up in a palace coup. Abiola vociferously contested his "mandate" ashe called it which Nigerians entrusted him with ...

 The north is really very mad at President Tinubu.                    President Bola Tinubu  Anytime he travels to Lagos for prominent holidays in the past two years that he's been the Nigerian president, people swarm his anywhere he is like ants on an anthill. Governors from all 36 states and the federal capital, other political office holders, prospective office holders, contractors and those seeking patronage, etc, are wont to strive to outdi one another in visiting President Tinubu as a mark of loyalty. In December 2023, all state governors visited President Tinubu at once. Some sew special uniform clothes for such visits.  It was a jamboree of visits.  But now, during the just ended Sallah break which President Tinubu observed in Lagos, the story is now different. The north states far away from Tinubu.  His offence? Alleged skewed appointments into offices to the detriment of the north. Especially, if agenci...

 There are some items called 'antique", because they are limited edition, rare things manufactured in the past but very scarce today. Yet, highly desirable and keenly sought after. Like antique furniture, bicycle, coins, artworks, etc. There are some clothing dubbed "haute couture" for being extremely expensive, unusually tailored with costly, rare fabrics and its manufacture is limited to a very few. It's date of manufacture is always many, many years oast. So, wearing a garment that has virtually no replica and made decades earlier add to the allure, grandeur and high class of the wearer.  Now, in what humans ingest, there are rare wines and spirits that are called "vintage." These are few, carefully fermented wines and other liqueur that are kept for decades before sale. Their sales years and years after manufacture adds to its price and value. There are also "colector's items." This refers to rare, old but in good condition items like ...

It is becoming clearer that Senator Ademola Adeleke, the giver of Osun, will jettison the main opposition party, People's Democratic Party (PDP) for the ruling All Progressives' Congress (APC) Asoin..Mega Mode Media has observed this phenomenon for over a year.. These investigation is based on these points below. L-R: Dr Adedeji, Davido's father; President Bola Tinubu; David Adeleke a k a. Davido and Governor Ademola Adeleke during a recent visit to President Tinubu, in Lagos Courtesy; Vanguard  1. Governor Ademola Adeleke met with his erstwhile arch enemy Gbogega Oyetola at a recent function for the very first time especially since Adeleke emerged as Osun's governor. Oyetola might have noticed President Tinubu's thawing mien towards Adeleke and besides, his own tenuous hold on the APC structure in Osun might make it expedient for him to form a strategic alliance with Adeleke to gain relevance than an Osun APC that is lukewarm to his return to reckoning in Osun.  2....

President Tinubu (right) with Pastor Bakare  His abode has long been a mecca of sorts. Since he left office as governor of Lagos 18 years ago, Bourdillon has nearly become a reference for him and his immense political influence. This is because people seeking political patronage or one favour or the other, are known to throng this venue which he stays on the stretch of Lahos' road in highbrow Ikoyi called Bourdillon.  Street beggars anf road urchins are not left out. They literally make the entrance way into the place their abode anytime he is in town for cash gifts and sometimes,free daily meals .  Who? Your guess is as good as mine. It is about President Tinubu and his Bourdillon enclave turning to a hotbed of visits from the most influential, to the downtrodden.  But two fresh visits stir curiosity. Similayi Fubaru, embattled and suspended governor of Rivers State visited him yesterday. Details of the meeting were not revealed. But it goes beging Sallah felicitati...

 There's this famous billionaire who happens to be a computer scientist who earned that status by invention a famed computer software.  For decades, the world knows him as a computer geek, software afficionado, and a great philanthropy organisation that he and his ex wife use to co-chair.  To the best of the world's knowledge, this American  man did not go back to school to earn a medical-related degree,  But, suddenly, this man turned to a health professional driving into medical researched into invasive aspects of health and medical research, donating billions to healthcare and medical research annually.  Philanthropy is wonderful, it is a very noble human trait. But at this point, this one is no longer giving.  All talk of computer innovation and  IT wizardry, gone? Gone. Totally.  Now, he is on his way to discuss with Nigeria's president next week. To discuss, wait for it, "primary health care." Hmmm...

The World Health Organisation (WHO) just raised an alarm.over the spreading of a new Covid+19 variant, N.B.1.8.1.  The agency now classify it as a "variant under monitoring" because of its rising infection rate across the world and, be sure of its ability to "evade immunity from past infections or vaccinations."

Countries with reported high cases include Hong Kong, China, Cambodia and Singapore . Mega Mode Media calls on Nigerian federal and states'  ministries of health to quickly synerguse and develop a contingency plan to prevent its spread to the country. 

"Prinspa, na only you waka com," "Diaris God oo" and so on were colloquial expressions laughingly attributed to former first lady of Nigeria, Patience Jonathan, wife of President Goodluck Jonathan.         Patience Jonathan in her convocation gown  "Peshe", as her admirers calls her, was often derided for her supposed weaker academic prowess in comparison to her husband who holds a Ph.D.  At the height of the widespread comments about her academic and intellectual process, a Nobel Laureate referred to her as "hippopotamus".  Through it all, she was unbowed, unbroken and audaciously bold. She once told her critics that "her husband likes and loves her the way she is". She is never shy to speak out and many admire her for her obvious leadership qualities. Infact, the fact that she was a party woman leader in Rivers can be seen in her in his she carries crowds along when speaking publicly.  It's often reported that she propelled her hu...

 Nigeria is constructing a 700m coastal highway to Calabar.   What does that mean? Picture a Malibu road highway, or an expanded Miami s Ocean Drive, with roads stretching for miles besides the aquatic splendour of the ocean. That's what highway intends to look like.  This is good. Very good for Nigerian motorists asoy would decongest heavy traffic from Lagis - Ibadan expressway to this coastal highway.  Lagos - Ibadan expressway is called the busiest highway in Nigeria because it is the only highway that connects Lagos, Nigeria's commercial capital, to the rest of the country. Lagos experiences an I flow of one million people daily according to Raji Fashola then governor of Lagos in 2008.  So, picture vehicles ferrying at least a million people travelling to the hustling former Nigeria's federal capital on an eight-lane stretch of road daily. There is no other exit road. It is little wonder it is notorious for heavy traffic jams, at times late until the ni...

      Ex Gov. Oyetola in white cap, exchanging pleasantries with Gov. Adeleke at Ilesha These two politicians were sworn enemies. Yet, both are illustrious sons of Osun, a south western state in Nigeria.  Governor Oyetola held away over the affairs of the state following a stiff battle with incumbent Governor Adeleke. In 2018 Adeleke won the gubernatorial poll. But Oyetola capitalizes on a technicality in the forms Adeleke submitted regarding his educational qualifications. The legal suit nullified Adeleke's victory and put Oyetola in his stead.. Fast forward four years later. Adeleke returned like the proverbial ram who trotted backwards to eventually ram forward forcefully as he made a powerful return,won the poll decisively over Oyetola, despite being the incumbent. Oyetola challenged the victory all the way to the Supreme Court but eventually lost. Ever since, the two have been at loggerheads over political control of the state.  Ex governor and current gove...

 A prominent figure of Nigeria's Central Bank is incredibly funny, with funny moves.  This man is associated with beyond funny deals and not funny policies. Whilst he was in office, he controversially introduced new currency bills during election season that not only made life he11 for Nigerians but made logistics worst for campaigning politicians.  This man is now facing prosecution for his allegedly misdeeds while in office.  Part of what has been discovered so far is his ownership of a 753 housing estate in Abuja. The federal government is consequently making moves to acquire the estate and sell it to interested buyers from the general public.  This occurred after getting the statutory court approval to do so.  But, the former government official is not now finding this funny. He has approached the court, asking the acquisition be stopped. He said he was not in court during the legal process in court so, the court did not hear his side.  Now, the fo...

 Parents and guardians, be extra vigilant with your children and wards, most particularly with the seemingly introverted and very quiet ones. Something might just be going on there being what is normal. At a particular taxi garage in Ifo, Ogun state, Mega Mode Media was in a commercial taxi enroute another destination. Soon, a SUV pulled up. A young guy, no more than 19 or 20, climbed out of the car, carrying the now ubiquitous back back and a fanny cross body bag. Despite the fact that the dad beside the wheel pulled up right next to the passenger door of the commercial taxi, he waited till the boy put his bag in the boot and sat in the taxi.  Not satisfied, the obviously diting dad called out, "son, are you okay? Is everything fine?" To which the boy nodded, and waved at him before darling dad then drive off. Less than two minutes in to his arrival, the handsome, light skinned, harmless-looking boy glanced to the side and saw one of the park attendants smoking. Instantly, h...

Nigerians continue to suffer a higher risk to their lifes because of the higher spate of ritu@l ki11ings in the country which is exponentially, growing daily.      Absurd cost a human life is reduced to In Akure, Ondo state in south west Nigeria, an innocuous incident led to the smoking out of a ki11er's den right in the open in a highbrow part of the area called Alagbaka.  A homeowner there, who pleads anonymity, just got a gun licensed. In celebratory excitement, he grabbed the newly legalised gun and shot into the sky in the morning of a quiet work day, thinking majority of the residents have gone out and so, virtually no one would be alarmed by hearing gunshots.  He thought wrong. Very startled, a small group of teenagers and young adults, ranging from 18 to 23 ran out from an uncompleted building nearby.  The man raised alarm. Passers by heard his loud protestations and chased the boys. One of them was apprehended and taken back to the uncompleted buil...

The *Immortal* eucomiun delivered by Chief Ladoke Akintola on the occasion of Chief Awolowo’s 50th birthday anniversary in March 1959 By Ladoke Akintola To Chief Awolowo, passivity is a bane and inaction an anathema. How could it be otherwise to a life which thrives on industry and to a man with fanatical faith in hard work? That was why he made himself a terror to the demagogues and Mountebanks who, with neither a chart nor a rudder, believed that they could steer the Nigerian ship of state to its destination. No pilot has a clearer vision and none a keener sense of mission than Chief Awolowo… In the political changes which took place in Nigeria from 1947 onwards, Dr. Azikiwe has been spasmodic and casual; Sir Ahmadu Bello has been leisurely and care-free; but Awolowo has been constant and calculating…To know Chief Awolowo as a man is to respect him. It has been my pride and pleasure to know him. He is by every standard a genius. His unimpeachable character, his faith in God, his conf...

The staff who should normally have the best interest of his employer at heart proved to be a very crafty and dangerous man.  If not for providence, the boss would not have survived to tell the story. The employee, given a means of livelihood as security guard in his home, found a way to lace his food with poison. Did Umar, the boss, did anything untoward towards him to make him decide to snuff life out him? No. Umar's security guard poisoned him in order to rob him of his possession in his home!  It was so bad that Umar had to stay under medical supervision overnight, "fighting for his life". The following morning, Umar said the security guard called at 09.52 am to check up on his boss's health. "We exchanged greetings, and he even wished me a quick recovery," Umar said. But just five minutes later, Umar discovered that the ...

 The coalition talks among the opposition looks like it's gaining traction in the last few days.  Realizing the battle to stop President Bola Tinubu from getting a second term is an Hercules task that seems nigh impossible, the opposition is starting early.. But, in the face of the concrete confidence the ruling party got recently following a tsunami of defections from within the same opposition, the All Progressives' Congress (APC) is not loosening it's lead. Today's, it held a national summit comprising all ministers, members of national assembly, governors, past excis, past governors in a power move to show its swelling tanks.  This is in stark contrast to a pitifully shrunk opposition that boasted of a few notable individuals.  The ruling party gained an advantage when signals in the Nigerian political space reveals that securing political office in Nigeria now, is by belonging to the ruling party. Current office holders are also not unmindful  of the politi...
