Babatunde Gbadamosi’s defeatist hysteria over Lekki-Ikoyi Link Bridge — by Wale Ajetunmobi
People with sharp and bright minds will obviously not buy into the false narrative of Chinedu Rhodes-Vivour’s defeatist running mate, Babatunde Gbadamosi.

20 years in a box: The containers that could have helped light up Nigeria — by Olabode Opeseitan
