U-17 African Cup of Nations: Review of Nigeria vs South Africa match, By Ifeoluwa Leo-Olagbaye
Whoever spoke to the boys after that first half deserves all the accolades. They came out blazing, like the same team we supported at the WAFU ZONE B tournament.

Opinion: Seyi Makinde and the Yoruba Nation, by Kola Amzat
Since the creation of Oyo State in 1976, the federating unit has never lacked result-oriented, purposeful, resourceful leaders with discerning minds at the helm of her affairs. The Military Administrators who super-intended on the affairs of the state between 1976 and 1979 before democratic governance berthed, individually distinguished themselves in the office.

And they claim Buhari didn’t do anything
On Sunday April 30, the Media Office of the President released a 91-page document on the achievements of President Muhammadu Buhari over the past eight years. It was a job painstakingly done for many weeks by the Presidential Communications Team. I must confess that I was awed by things recorded in that one-stop shop of presidential accomplishments. Successes, achievements, landmark…

Of utmost comedy value. That is my assessment of Sam Allardyce’s claim that he is a top-tier manager after he was announced as Javi Garcia’s replacement as Leeds manager.

The Nigerian politician can be accused of many things, but selflessness is not one of them. Neither is self-awareness, sympathy or empathy, marked by Olympic-standard lack of any of those things. The glaring lack of these attributes by those who occupy executive positions is responsible for the widespread belief that however squalid the performance in office is, munificent rewards must…

India’s economy is surging thanks to these three revolutions, By Fareed Zakaria
Visiting India this week, I was struck by how different the mood there is compared with much of the world.

India is now the most populous country on the planet and is projected to be the fastest-growing large…

It’s a dog’s life! By Wale Bakare
It was the great Indian nationalist and advocate of non-violent resistance, Mahatma Ghandi, that once said: “The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated”. This quote played back in my mind as I watched what would have been a highly comic scene roll out before my eyes this cool…
