Olórunsògo is the fading inscription written above the door entrance of the communal living quarters popularly called Face-Me-I-Face-You in local parlance, located at the end of Liadi Street
Once again an already fragile national consciousness has been rattled, this time by the blunt remarks of some "right wing" politicians that describe this nation as “hopeless dean" habouring the lives of people with conspicuous affluence...
There is no doubt that development and the needed leadership that should have transformed Lagos into a functional city comparable to some of the best cities in the world took flight with the forced exit of the civilian administration in 1983...
Far too many Nigerian men are socialized into the myth of women being their own worst enemies, the most effective neutralizers/antagonizers of other women...
Belgium is a country while Africa is a continent with 53 nations but the GDP of Belgium is equivalent to that of Africa. Meaning that what 11m people of Belgium produce is equivalent to what the 700m people of Africa produce...
It is well-known that some departments, ministries and agencies were full of ghost employees who did no real work for the ministry, drew multiple salaries, or existed only on paper...
Lagos is probably the only town in the world that has no official “Welcome to..” signage on its borders. What Lagos has is just a “This is Lagos” sign. The hidden message in this cold and unwelcoming signage is that ‘This is Lagos, what you see is what you get’...

Nigerians are being subjected to emotional labour by this government. Day by day we narrate dark-figured crimes. The manner in which we are exposing our inability to prioritize and solve more crucial problems first is crazy...
Given that politics in Nigeria is based on and practised with no reference to ideology, very strange things can easily happen in Nigerian politics. Its actors are prone to improvising and changing their plots and paths when least a rational thinker expects it...
In Nigeria, politics and government are like banks where money is kept, and thus it will continue to attract very smart, unsavoury and dishonest vagabonds, whose main aim in life is to steal the money…
I have nothing against Kayode’s bid to project himself as the arch-defender of the Yoruba, whether within the Nigerian federation or as an independent entity. Self-determination is no sin and there is nothing to be ashamed of in forging a pan Yoruba nationalism...
The Islam that I knew was already in full swing decades before my head kissed the earth of Isanlu, my home town in Yagba East Local Government Area of Kogi State. As is the case all over Nigeria and Africa, life in Isanlu was suffused in colourful forms of traditional spiritual expression until Christianity arrived...
No other issue seems central to the state we find ourselves in this country than corruption. Corruption is not the exclusive preserve of our leaders but also the followers. The truth of the matter is that we all seem corrupt; and it seems to run in our blood and DNA...
