The Party is over for PDP

Many have wondered about the staying power of the PDP when it is structurally and institutionally prone to suicide. I am beginning to believe those who say that the wizard behind the party was President Olusegun Obasanjo and his Aso Rock cash...

Nigerian Health “Reforms”: Rhetoric Or Real?

One could come to the conclusion that certain aspects of governance have been given priority over others and that health does not seem to have fallen into the chosen few.

Gov. Orji Aides’ Media Pollution

If there is any critic that has been writing against Orji with the measure of this hooey ‘e-governance aide’, I won’t know. I have only been writing that Gov. Orji should change his ways and express concern to the melting tears and infiltrated hearts of Abia people, over the immeasurable mis-governance in that state...

The late Lamido and my father

With the death on March 13 of Aliyu Musdafa, the 11th Lamido of Adamawa, Nigeria strikes me as a slightly dimmer space. The death of this extraordinary Nigerian touched me – and my mother as well as four siblings – in a deeply personal way...

Hate is No Excuse: A Cursory Review of the Trayvon Martin Case

Why Abiola Must have Died in Vain

It seems that Nigerians as a people are in perpetual slavery to self-deception. We are so very allergic to reality. Truth for us is whatever consolidates our unexamined prejudices. We are so allergic to the tides of reason that any challenge to the primitive fatalisms, lazy illusions, or invincible ignorance scaffolding our neurotic presumptions, sees us rising with unemotional ruthlessness...

Can South Sudan avoid the traps of Poverty?

Many have hailed the recent vote for independence by South Sudan from their Northern Arab neighbors after many years of bloody struggle. To some, it represents a fresh start for a people so repressed and impoverished, their poverty makes the rest of Africa look good...
