Give us the Sunshine Law

Before The 2007 Election Melee…

We mostly allow the most mundane and the most primitive issues swallow and engage our sensibilities, I guess because we still are unsure what we want of ourselves and of those who claim they want to represent us...

The Next Election Should Be About Finding A Winning Program Not A Winning Team

Can we move on from this loose talk of winning team? Can we stop the loose talk of South-North presidency, East-West candidacy? Can we start seriously digesting and probing the depth of thought and creativity that goes into the programs of these would-be candidates?

Okonjo-Iweala For President Part III

On General Buhari’s Sinister Code Of Silence

General Buhari took his misfortune and fall from grace to grass like a stoic to the extent that he kept mum when his new boss Sanni Abacha killed Nigerians at will. He also did not say anything when bombs were systematically targeted at perceived opponents of the Abacha junta...

Tuberculosis: Save One, Save All

It started with a cough, an autumn hack that refused to go away, then came the fevers. They bathed and chilled him, his lungs clattered, his chest tightened and he ached with every gasp.

Greed and callousness seem to be at the heart of the crusade to hike the price of fuel products. The argument has been made, at the state and national levels, that fuel subsidies guzzle resources that should be invested to provide absent, much needed infrastructure. This argument would have a measure of traction in a political space run by serious-minded, visionary leaders..
