Femi Falana should be called to order, By Kayode Adebiyi
I am going to be as blunt as possible with this post, and I don’t care how anyone feels.

Kashim Shettima, books and an enlightened leadership, By Tunji Olaopa
At first glance, interrogating the reading list of leaders, or asking about the books leaders read, seems like one of those hair-splitting pastimes of scholars and intellectuals.
