October 5 is set aside to celebrate teachers across the world. World Teachers’ Day is iconic. It cuts national and regional boundaries. Unfortunately, for...
Nigeria's well-being depends on a lot of things, among which economy and security play a prominent role. If these things are not taken care of, government's claims of a pro-people regime are inconsequential...
Unlike other leaders in the world who live in fear of their people and constraints of the law, Nigerian leaders are free to do what they like, so for the very few good they do, Nigerian leaders are the best in the world...
I normally don’t join in celebrating Nigeria’s Independence Day anywhere I am in the world; at least not since the late 70s. I also do not write the usual piece analyzing our problems and preferring solutions...
Good governance means fighting corruption, protection of lives and property, attendance to the rule of law and voice, fiscal accountability, political stability, absence of violence, government effectiveness, and regulatory quality...
The current Administration should learn to honour agreements with individual Nigerians, groups, associations, or professional bodies by shedding the toga of official irresponsibility and destructive divide-and-rule tactics...
Do many Nigerians read? Only a small fraction do, otherwise, given the intellectual and didactic editorials in The Guardian newspaper and the writings of articulate Nigerians, the poor standard of our political discourse would have improved inexorably...
Since President Jonathan is still in hibernation, scared stiff of even his own shadow, and as it is becoming clear that he has no proper control of our State security apparatus, Obasanjo decided to take matters into his own hands and perhaps begin to unravel this boko killers menace...

Nigerians seem to always allow outsiders to define Nigerians and Nigeria and what is important to Nigerians and Nigeria. We seem to be so intellectually objective in the most academic and most abstract sense...
Perhaps age has something to do with it. I prefer a club where I do not have to bother about the girl next to me. I want a club that my wife will know when I am visiting it and she would not have sleepless nights about the possibility of some smart girl taking advantage of my tipsiness...
How did we arrive at the juncture in our national life where the people no longer have faith in the sincerity and impartiality of those who should protect and lead them? A situation where the people are ready to doubt their leaders and security agents even when they swear to be telling the truth...
There was a sea of heads from many different parts of the country, irrespective of religion, tribe or social status, all united for one cause. The policemen were actually protesters’ friends as they sat peaceably around, sucking on pure water sachets and giggling at some mischiefs...
I have always lusted after the reason behind century-long, Eurocentric racial perfidy against the black race. What is our sin to deserve an unconcealed white hate?
After many years of witnessing the deaths of a member of the Nigerian ruling class, I am hardly fazed by the honor paid to them at death. Apart from Abacha, few Nigerians deride their leaders at death. Most leaders no matter how evil their legacy is usually get a warm goodbye...
The Nigerian blames the state for everything good and everything gone wrong. Indeed, the Nigerian in you sees government all around him. In Nigeria, government has a hand in everything. From politics, to food, to employment to where you choose to gather to whom you choose to speak to- everything is government! Which brings me to ask- do we really need government?
