NEWS ANALYSIS: Deplorable state of Federal roads in South-West, by Chris Adetayo
If you are new to this country and just lap up what is written in the media, you will easily be misled. I often read stuff like “this Government is favoring the South West”. Well, I live in the SW and I don’t see the “favours” that folks refer to. Take the issue of roads. I’ve been around the country…

Rule of law vs. rhetoric: Rebutting the “March of Folly” critique, by Bukola Oyeniyi
Introduction I would like to thank Mr. Christopher Chidera for his detailed response to my essay. Engaging in open discourse about Mr. Nnamdi Kanu’s case is essential, and I appreciate the opportunity to clarify my position. That said, I was taken aback by the barrage of personal insults and name-calling in his critique – especially coming from a legal practitioner.…

Over a decade of shaping the LPG conversation in Nigeria, by Adedayo Oketola
My journey with Nigeria’s Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) industry began in 2009, two years after NLNG led the charge to establish the Domestic LPG Supply Project. At that time, awareness, infrastructure, and consumption were still at very early stages of development. I covered major global industry events, including the 22nd World LPG Forum in 2009 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil,…

Profit from agony: The church moral decline, by Adewale Adeoye
It was a good thing Senator Babafemi Ojudu had the courage to write on that shameful incidence at Anglican Church, Ise Ekiti. A woman died and the whole event was turned into Stock Exchange by the presiding Anglican Church Minister, who called for endless donations until mourners protested and walked out of the Church. The local Anglican Church branch in…

Nigeria not one-party state, politicians only playing for survival, by Bamidele Johnson
Nigeria is not about to become a one-party state. It is pure poppycock to say it is. A real one-party state would look like what existed in the old Soviet Union, Bulgaria, Romania and Poland or what still thrives in Cuba and North Korea. As yet, nobody has held a secret meetings in a smoky room to decide that only…

Moral of the coup in Madagascar, by Tajudeen Olanrewaju
The recent coup in Madagascar which terminated the government of President Andry Rajoelina by a sudden popular revolution led by the Gen Z youth movement is a lesson to everyone who cherishes good leadership and the essential ingredients of the democratic process. Rajoelina who has now scurried to the safe haven of France was first elected with wide embrace in…

Influx of FDI into Nigeria: Tinubu’s crushing blow to demarketers, by Olabode Opeseitan
In a world where perception often trumps reality, Nigeria—under President Bola Tinubu—is rewriting the rules of investment diplomacy. The country is no longer pleading for capital—it is curating it. The influx of funds across oil, gas, mining, textiles, and infrastructure is not just a win for Nigeria’s economy; it is a crushing defeat for those who have spent years demarketing…

How billionaires take control of global media machine, by Aderemi Ogunpitan
Billionaires and corporations now control the worlds media machine. What we watch, read, and think no longer flows from independent voices but from a handful of men whose empires shape the global narrative. This is systematic, profit-driven, and corrosive. Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp and Fox empire have long tilted politics and public opinion. Elon Musk turned Twitter into X and…

NEWS ANALYSIS: PDP as humpty dumpty, by Chris Adetayo
It’s hard not to feel sorry for the PDP. Once Africa’s “largest party”, it has spent the last decade waddling in a cesspool of its own making. Pride goes before a fall. The PDP journey encapsulates this childhood adage. It thought itself too big, too powerful, too entrenched in office. It saw no chance of ever being brought down. Down…
