I experienced/saw bullying from primary school. At Ughelli, Delta State, two elder brothers of mine protected me. When my father was transferred to Ozoro in 1973, I continued my primary education in Ozoro. I did not really experience bullying. But two classmates of mine did cause me some distress. On one occasion, they wanted to see the […]

Ardent fans of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, BAT, are something else! They can’t abide anyone who doesn’t share their blind allegiance to their hero. They choose to wallow in intellectual dishonesty and to disbelieve deservedly negative stories about his performance and his past. They blame him for nothing that is going wrong in Nigeria. I am never […]

This is the last thing the African Democratic Congress, ADC, wants to hear, but it has to be said, even if the party digs its thumbs in its ear. It began with the party’s delayed registration. When things were not moving as quickly as the early defectors, mostly from the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, had expected, […]

Washington’s three blind mice. Donald Trump, their President. Marco Rubio his Secretary of State and Pete Hegseth, Secretary of Defence, now transformed into Secretary of War. A trinity of the greedy, the liar and the lawless, nesting in territorial and colonial delusions. In carrying out mass destruction and massacres as they are doing in Iran, and […]

Nigeria has never had a president like Bola Ahmed Tinubu. For the first time in its recent political history, Nigeria has a president whose standards of political morality can be described as utterly amoral in the sense that he subscribes to the cynical saying, attributed to Vladimir Lenin, that “there are no morals in politics.” Indeed, […]

Last week, I lamented that President Bola Tinubu has hollowed out Nigeria’s democracy. The article generated interested reactions. A regular reader of this column accused me of Tinubuphobia. How is it that you don’t see anything good in Tinubu, he asked. Another sent me a cryptically worded text: “Sour grapes from name-calling!” Some kindred spirits, nonetheless, […]

“Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate for the government of any other“— John Adams Few observations capture the enduring dilemma of democratic governance as succinctly as this warning by John Adams. Long before the modern age of mass democracy, Adams understood that constitutions and institutions, however carefully […]

Yesterday President Bola Tinubu began a two-day state visit to the United Kingdom. He was received with his wife, Oluremi, by King Charles III at the Windsor Castle. It’s been nearly four decades, precisely 37 years, since the last Nigerian leader made a state visit to our colonial lords. That was Ibrahim Babangida, a military dictator […]

Venerated playwright, Professor Femi Osofisan, once said in one of his books, there is safety in numbers. This is very true of human beings who would always find solace and security with each other but equally more so in subscription business where the subscriber base remains very vital in terms of returns on investment.
