I had made this observation more than once, about a practice which many Nigerians themselves have noted as odd and inexplicable: why is it that on the eve of every election, Nigerian presidential aspirants would be trucked to London, precisely to Chatham House, to go to talk and be interviewed, and debate, and outline what would […]

There is a number we carry every day. 1000 naira. It used to mean something. Not a fortune, not comfort, but enough to get through a moment

The decision of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to return the majority of its national officers at its convention through consensus may, on the surface, appear to reflect unity and internal cohesion. However, beneath that carefully curated image lies a troubling contraction of democratic space within the party, it is one that raises fundamental questions about the […]

Despite every attempt to feign surprise and douse the outrage, this festival and its violence against women did not erupt overnight.

In the same month we celebrated the global progress of women, the Nigerian woman took a visceral hit. The harrowing footage from the Ozoro festival in Delta State acted as a grim “return to reality”—a jagged reminder that for the Nigerian woman, freedom is often not an inherent right, but a precarious gift, granted or rescinded based […]

“The saying is true. One man sows, another man reaps. I have sent you to reap that which you did not labor for” John 4: 37/38 When my parents decided to leave downtown Ilesha for a new development on the outskirts of town, a cousin living with us at the time whom I called ‘Uncle’ because of […]

Friends, admirers, and the “Obidient” fanbase of the former Labour Party, LP, presidential candidate, Peter Gregory Obi, love to call him by the sobriquet “Okwute,” which in Igbo, Nigeria’s third-largest socio-linguistic group, means rock, boulder, or stone. Quite a nice alias – especially if you associate some doctrinal nuances of Obi’s faith with his first name, […]
