Let’s cut Tinubu some slack, by Ikechukwu Amaechi

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, […]

Trump and the myth of strong American institutions, by Usman Sarki

“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.

Canal+ in big decisions to revamp MultiChoice business, by Okoh Aihe

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. A good […]

When educated illiterates rule, society is in trouble, by Owei Lakemfa

Fuel prices in Nigeria went up an average 40 percent within days of the United States, US, and Israel attacking Iran. Diesel prices went up 50 percent. This development shot up prices of transportation, and more Nigerians who cannot afford the price hike took to trekking. Mr.  Peter Obi, former Anambra State Governor, lamented the plight of […]

When six states in Nigeria’s South-West zone came together in January 2020 to create Amotekun, a regional security outfit to confront social ills spreading across the region, they weren’t reinventing the wheel, despite the political fanfare.  They were re-enacting a past that seemed so far back it had been forgotten altogether – a policing structure that […]

War in the Middle East and our economy, by Adekunle Adekoya

IT is no longer news that the United States, in coalition with Israel has been bombarding Iran. It is also no longer news that the aerial bombardments targeting Iran’s military and defence infrastructure claimed the life of the country’s leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
