  • SPEAKING TRUTH TO POWER: The Asiwaju at 60?

    by Olu Ojedokun May 8, 2012
    by Olu Ojedokun

    The fact is that it was the reversals by the courts of some gubernatorial electoral ‘victories’ of the PDP in the South West that has provided the opportunity for this respected journalist to shift his focus to the person of the ‘Asiwaju’, ’Bola Tinubu of Lagos.  I accept that he does not go as far as some to canonise him but has used a cleverer tactic of conflating and confusing the ends and means of progressive politics…

    With the reversals by the courts of some gubernatorial electoral ‘victories’ of the PDP in the South West the focus in the media and the internet chatter fora has now shifted to the person of the ‘Asiwaju’, ’Bola Tinubu of Lagos.  To some the man awaits canonisation as a saint and to others he attracts vilification…

    by Olu Ojedokun

    We cannot be content at home and abroad, limiting ourselves to religious activities such as church planting and having mega pseudo-religious conferences without a corresponding transformation of the Diaspora and the Nigerian society.  These activities must demonstrate their relevance by affecting the people around us…

    by Olu Ojedokun May 13, 2010
