I have visited Enugu State three times since Dr Peter Mbah assumed office as Governor of Enugu State. In two of those visits, I participated in guided tours of his project sites. He regularly trends for high performance. This is not mere hype. Mbah is not only a top performer; he is visionary in broad […]

“Political parties created democracy, and modern democracy is unthinkable save in terms of the parties.” — E. E. Schattschneider I sometimes wonder if Schattschneider would review his opinion on the centrality of political parties in a democratic dispensation if he had anticipated the situation in Nigeria today.

The past two weeks have been most consequential for AI, which remained at the centre of discourse in very high places. Oh, you are saying, “How can AI have life when it has no blood in its veins?” You tell me: how many people with barrels of blood in their system, no matter their placement […]

I think it is legitimate to ask if the controversy that trailed President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s so-called working vacation was inevitable. I personally don’t think so. The problem was as much with the message as it was with the messaging. This takes us back to the observation frequently made by critics of the president’s media […]

The real test of a United Nations speech begins on the journey home. The cameras are gone; the promises must find their way into decisions, budgets, and difficult conversations.

President John Dramani Mahama’s address to the 81st United Nations General Assembly in New York was more than another presidential speech in the annual ritual of world leaders taking turns at the podium.

What goes around, they say, comes around. In 2017, the sports ministry, then headed by Solomon Dalung, brought out guidelines for elections into sports federations with an instruction that those which had their own constitutions should organise theirs.

Beloved, as we progress into the ember months, may God show us mercy in Jesus name. For a Christian, the ember months are not to be feared. Rather, it should be seen as the months of mercy. Why? It is because it is time for all prayers to be answered. Indeed a season of testimony. […]
