Ernesto "Che" Guevara; Viva la Revolucion!


He died as he lived, a slave to convictions greater than life itself.

The struggle continues today; 41 years after that dastardly act of the murder of one of the finest combatants that ever lived as a revolutionary.

Trade unionism and trades unions; an introductory perspective

Introduction Trades unions have become key components of most modern societies be such societies democratic or totalitarian, advanced capitalist or backward post-colonial. The nature of trade unions and trade unionisms are however quite different, even in otherwise similar societies. The United Kingdom and the United States for example could be considered as similar as societies could be (being the leading “liberal market economies” in the world), but they have quite different types of trade unions and approaches to trades unionism. Similarly France and Germany, two leading “coordinated market economies” in the West, have clearly different trades unions’ characteristics. Coming closer home; on one hand there are distinct traits that mark the industrial relations systems and trade union practice as heritages of our colonial past i.e. along English-speaking and French-speaking Africa lines. On the other hand, there are specific features of trade unionism and trades unions even in the cl...

Why US Intervention Can’t End Terrorist Activities In Nigeria – Baba Aye

As 2025 ended and 2026 began, how would you describe Nigerians’ lives in the outgone year? Last year was a terrible year for poor working people in Nigeria. For the few that were still lucky to have salaried work, their wages could hardly take them home. House rents shot through the sky. For many people, their rents doubled between 2024 and 2025. Insecurity made travelling and even living in people’s homes a challenge of survival.

There are signs for sure that this year will be better for rich people. In the second week of the year, the news filtered in that the NGX, which is the Nigerian Stock Exchange, crossed the centi-trillion naira mark for the first time. While this hides the impact of things like the devaluation of the naira, regarding actual value, ...

On Trump’s Declaration of Nigeria as a CPC, Recent Changes of Military Chiefs, etc: Sunday Independent Interview (23/11/25)

What is your take on Donald Trump's declaration of Nigeria as a Country of Particular Concern (CPC) over alleged killing of Christians? Donald Trump is playing a political card laced in hypocrisy, deceit, arrogance and imperialist interests. One cannot but laugh when he talks of wanting to come to the aid of “cherished Christians”. Three percent of the Christians in Gaza are amongst the sixty-nine thousand people that were killed in that strip in the course of two years of Israel’s genocidal campaign. But he has not only not been concerned about them, he has stood firmly against calling the war on Gaza the genocide it is. Trump and other politicians like Ted Cruz and Riley are just playing politics with this matter. On one hand, they are appealing to their white evangelical base. On the other hand Trump and indeed the American state as a whole are playing a card that Western imperialism has played time and again for centuries now, under the guise of what the British poet Rudyard ...
