By Babafemi Ojudu There are moments in the life of a people when difficult questions must be asked—not for provocation, but for the preservation of conscience. This is one of such moments. Across Nigeria today, there is a growing perception—fair or unfair—that the Yoruba, once regarded as a stabilizing moral force in the national equation, are retreating […]

By Moshood Oshunfurewa  There is a particular cruelty reserved for Nigerians who still dare to dream. Nigerians watch men in tailored agbadas step before cameras, clutch their chests with the fervour of converts, and promise us light. Not the blinding glare of a camera flash, mind you, but the kind that keeps a cold chain vaccine viable […]

By Echefuna’ ONYEBEADI The issue of zoning/rotation of political offices between North and South of Nigeria has become a recurrent decimal, particularly, in this political dispensation since 1999. First, let’s be clear that Nigeria did not gain independence from colonial rule in 1999, when the current political dispensation commenced under a very strange military contraption of an […]

By Tuedor Akpevwe Jackson The relationship between a lawyer and the law has always been one of interpretation, application, and evolution. Laws are not static; they respond to societal shifts, technological advancements, and economic realities. With the emergence of the Investments and Securities Act (ISA) 2025, Nigeria has taken a decisive step toward aligning its legal […]

By Ayodele Oso In recent years, Nigerian bank customers have faced a troubling wave of frauds, unauthorized transactions, excessive charges and administrative lapses by financial institutions. Many of these issues, escalated to the Central Bank of Nigeria’s Consumer Protection Department (CPD, recently re-named Consumer Protection and Financial Inclusion Department), have lingered unresolved for months or even […]
