About

Hello, Let me break it down for you.

I am Henry Balogun (HB). So, back in March 2022, after a career spanning almost four decades across three continents as a lawyer, entrepreneur, politician, and media whiz, not to mention being the right-hand man {Chief of staff) to the Deputy Governor of Lagos State, Nigeria, I had this brilliant idea. I already had my own online news platform and personal blog, henrybalogun.com, but I wanted to take it up a notch. I thought, why not launch The HB Report, a kickass politics news blog?

So, ta-da! The HB Report was born, and it’s not your run-of-the-mill news platform, a totally independent news source, zeroing in on all things political – from politicians to policy and governance – not just in Nigeria, but across the globe. We serve up nothing but authentic and accurate information, but hold up, that’s not all! We like to keep things spicy with some smart commentary and a touch of entertainment that’ll blow your mind.

We’re all about delivering the latest in politics while keeping you entertained and informed. We post roughly a dozen news stories a day just about everything you need to know about politics, policy, and power.

And guess what? That’s not the end of the story! The HB Report isn’t just about politics – we’re all over the top, trending, and viral stories in the pop-culture universe too. We’re independent, irreverent, and intelligent. We keep it real; we keep it fresh!

But that’s not even the best part. I’ve got an amazing line-up of guest writers dropping knowledge bombs and sharing their opinions on various topics. It’s a one-stop-shop for everything you need to know, spiced up with some serious style.

My aim is for The HB Report to become your go to blog for biggest stories in the arena of politics, pop-culture and power,  whilst featuring other trending and top stories on most significant topics.

So, if you want to stay in the loop, get ready to dive into The HB Report! Politics, pop-culture, and everything in between – Team HB has got you covered, and we do it like nobody else can! Get ready for the ride of your life!

FAIR, BALANCED & WHOLESOME CONTENT

Our content strategy tends towards top stories that matter,  lifestyle and wholesome feel-good news and as such we’re brand-safe to most advertisers.

1. We deliver unbiased reporting of latest politics news from around Nigeria and abroad.
2. We will provide insight – taking an in-depth look at different political and public leadership issues, presenting them in a range of multimedia and interactive formats.
3. We will provide engagement – looking at some of the lighter, more niche topics and discussions taking place , and finding new and novel ways to present them to you.

What you can expect from The HB Report going forward is:

• more content than ever before
• in a greater range of formats – articles, videos, motion graphics and more …
• some familiar faces and plenty of new ones.

If you did something that deserves praise, we’ll happily run that story too. But we mostly keep to politics, entertainment, lifestyle pieces and positive news.
