The Niche Lecture: And Alex Otti spoke loud and clear, by Ikechukwu Amaechi

No one left the auditorium of the Nigerian Institute of International Affairs on Thursday, April 23, 2026, unsure of what Abia State Governor Dr Alex Otti said at the 2026 TheNiche Annual Lecture with the theme, “Governing the Economy: Choices, Trade-offs, and National Priorities.” He spoke loud and clear. In a country where political leaders have […]

Can Makinde save the ADC? By Rotimi Fasan

When ADC politicians of the David Mark and Rauf Aregbesola faction held their so-called summit in the name of Nigerian opposition parties in Ibadan last week, one prayer that must have filled their hearts is that their legal battle at the Supreme Court with the Nafiu Bala Gombe’s faction of their party should turn out in […]

Paradox of the modern world where more means less, by Muyiwa Adetiba

A young man and his partner came to see me for a possible interview a couple of weeks ago. They own a Public Relations outfit together. According to them, an encounter with some mass communication undergraduates made them realise ‘something’ was missing in the education of these young students. They decided to introduce some ‘doyens’ of the […]

As Akpabio turns to prayer, by Emmanuel Aziken

Senate President Godswill Akpabio has again stepped into the eye of the storm, not so much for what he said as for what his words now represent in a country increasingly impatient with the language of power. His latest assertion he is praying that insurgency in Nigeria will end in 2026 has reopened a familiar debate: the […]

The Obi-Kwankwaso Alliance: Puff or Pith? By Ugoji Egbujo

Pith. Some say wistfully that the alliance has come four years late.  Its optimistic supporters insist that a ticket promising equity, unity and prosperity is never late. It was first mooted in 2022, but bloated egos would not let it thrive. Fortunately, the last elections cleared some delusions. Perhaps the alliance has arrived at its appointed […]

Mutfwang’s armoured vehicle, by Emeka Obasi

Leadership by example makes all the difference. Seeing Plateau State governor Caleb Manasseh Mutfwang address grieving families, from an Armoured Personnel Carrier (APC), after yet another blood bath, made me blink a tear. If he could commandeer such bullet proof machine from the police, what stopped the governor from using the same weapon to pursue the killers […]

The million-Naira mistake: Why 30 seconds of clarity can save you hours of regret, by Ruth Oji

Dear readers, Let me tell you about Chidi. Chidi works for a logistics company in Lagos. Last month, his manager sent him a quick message: “We need those containers moved to the warehouse by Friday.” Simple enough, right? Chidi assumed his manager meant the company’s main warehouse in Apapa. He organized the trucks, coordinated with […]

Re-election bid: Why is Tinubu scared of winning fair and square? By Olu Fasan

By now, everyone knows President Bola Tinubu’s approach to capturing power. In his own words, it is: “At all costs, fight for it, grab it, snatch it and run with it”. That was how he put it at a pre-election event in London in December 2022. Many would swear that he deployed this buccaneering strategy to […]

Tinubu Presidency: Governance is about truth and explanations, not propaganda, by Owei Lakemfa

There is an on-going debate in the country about the achievements of the Bola Ahmed Tinubu government. Opinions are, as expected, divided. But I notice a streak on the government side which borders on insults, base propaganda and threats. Government must never be tired of explaining its activities and actions which is why it has a full […]
