Open letter to Buhari on the need to immediately halt this scourge of fuel crisis.

The eminent status you’ve attained remains incontrovertible even after you might have vacated the office, and also when you might have gone…

Photo proof, By Sam Omatseye
It seemed like yesterday when Lagos youth invented the chant. Sanwo eko! The streets throbbed as a moment of affection morphed into a momentum of change. Not many knew him.

Sammy Okposo: the talent that only sought to worship, By Simbo Olorunfemi
It was in the 90s. Klink Studio. Surulere. Lagos. Kingsley Ogoro’s Klink Studio, which in a way, was the Winnis before Winnis. A lot of talents, who would later become famous Actors and Musicians, were to be found hanging around – studio, Tafawa Balewa crescent, nearby streets. We were in the studio.

Opinion: Killing Nigeria with multiple FX exchange rates, By Yemi Adebowale
I have spent quality time appraising and reappraising the International Monetary Fund’s Staff Concluding Statement on the 2022 Article IV Mission to Nigeria released nine days back. For me, the preliminary findings of the IMF Staff on Nigeria’s shambolic foreign exchange policy stand out. I have persistently argued against the squandering of Nigeria’s forex which its management connotes. The IMF…

Tinubu and impact of the most strategic presidential campaign, By Kassim Afegbua
Those who are aspiring to lead the country should learn strategic communication and campaign initiatives from Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the candidate of the All Progressives’ Congress-APC.

Too many reports, of late, of people, especially of ‘middle age’ passing on. Sudden deaths, often reported. I suspect it has become more pronounced on account of the overwhelming influence of instantenous tools and means of communication which tend to bring that which might have been far away so close. I suspect we might even be dealing with some sort…
