“History is a record of what has happened in the past.” That was the first sentence in the History book given to us at Igbobi College, Yaba; when, as an Area Boy from Campos, Lagos, I gate-crashed into the school. History became one of my favourite subjects since then till today. However, it was not […]

The debate on who is football’s greatest player ever resurfaced again at the ongoing 2026 World Cup in Canada, Mexico and the United States after Lionel Messi struck a hat-trick in Argentina’s 3-0 defeat of Algeria in their opening match. His brace in the 2-0 defeat of Austria reinforced the belief by his fans that […]

I was saddened watching Mr. Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Information and Strategy, discuss the state of the nation on Arise Television on Tuesday. To be fair, though, he is the president’s spokesperson and his job entails defending the indefensible. But beyond that, he has the reputation of insensitivity to the plight […]

Your body is communicating right now. Before you say a single word, your shoulders, your hands, your posture, and your breathing are already sending a message to everyone watching you. The question is: what message are you sending? Nervous body language undermines everything you say. It doesn’t matter how brilliant your ideas are or how thoroughly […]

Justice Peter Odo Lifu of the Federal High Court, Abuja was far less known until June 15, 2026 when an ill-considered judgement he delivered led to political eruption in the country. It was capable of derailing the political process and, several persons and organisations including the judiciary, scrambled to douse the fires its was beginning to ignite. Not since […]

For an institution that makes laws for more than 200 million Nigerians, this is dangerous. A legislature that cannot convincingly account for its own documents cannot credibly demand accountability from ministries, departments, agencies or ordinary citizens. The latest controversy came from the Senate over the report that led to the suspension of Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan. Senator Adams […]

You cannot be more Nigerian than someone from the South – West who found love across the Niger, served in Benin Kingdom and remains attached to Lagos, where nothing escapes scrutiny. Akin Victor Ogunsanya represents courage, determination and fair play. Chatting with him is a journey into almost everything. From politics to nationalism, you will delve into […]

There was this story of a political activist who was considered an enemy of State and sentenced to death. His last act when given the chance, was to hug his mother. This got people curious. Why not his wife, a child, or any of his comrades-in- arms? The message here however, is not that he chose his […]

•A three-pronged strategy for your consideration! Poor Nigerians. These days, ordinary people are one wrong journey away from a brutal death. General Rabe is now dead. Who knows what his family went through to recover his remains? May his soul rest in peace. The lessons from Rabe’s killing are for the living. When he served as military […]

Journalists like to think that the world would be finished without them. Nothing illustrates this vanity more than the joke by my old school journalism teacher that even when the world ends, reporters will be there to tell those in paradise what is happening on the other side. This illusion deprives the profession of its sanity. […]
