Beyond the ballot: Why Nigeria must reform its institutions, by Dakuku Peterside

Every election season in Nigeria revives a familiar hope: that the right leader, armed with courage, competence, and character, can rescue the country from its accumulated failures. Leadership matters. Yet Nigeria’s history offers a sobering lesson: no leader can sustainably outperform the institutions through which he or she governs.

So, who killed Abacha and Abiola? By Ochereome Nnanna

So much is touted about the “inviolability” of the sovereignty of nations under the United Nations Charter. It simply means that a nation’s entitlement to full control of its territory and affairs cannot be forcefully intruded upon by external powers. In practice, however, the amount of power a state projects determines its ability to defend its […]

Senator Abdullahi Adamu at 80: A life of service, wisdom and grace, by Usman Sarki

“In old age the consolation of hope is reserved for the tenderness of parents, who commence a new life in their children; the faith of enthusiasts, who sing hallelujahs above the clouds; and the vanity of authors, who presume the immortality of their name and writings,” Edward Gibbon Edward Gibbon’s profound meditation on old age reminds […]

Tinubu’s regional federalism, by Suleiman A. Suleiman

I have described President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s economic policies as Tinubunomics. That is, an economic system based on resource extraction from the citizenry to the state, but without corresponding public investment. I have said much on this, and there is a lot more to be said. But for the moment, how should we conceptualize or describe […]

If every major ally of Peter Obi behaved exactly like Alex Otti, the practical effect would be a significantly weakened, fragmented, and less confrontational opposition ahead of 2027.
