The Guest Speaker was Mahathir Mohammed, the former Prime Minister of Malaysia, who said that the British are the best in the world in public administration and planning.

Asiwaju Tinubu is the most media-friendly, By Tunde Oladunjoye
I wrote yesterday about the Tinubu-paranoia affecting the gleeful and gullible in the opposition: “The Tinubu-paranoia manifests in the anti-Tinubu obsession so unashamedly preoccupied with.” Today there is a trending peddled lie that Asiwaju said he “has no interest with the media”. This is certainly the handiwork of jittery and uninformed opponents. Asiwaju Bola Tinubu is the most media-friendly among…

2023 election and the so-called Peter Obi youth supporters, By Sola Joshua
I have tried to stay away from this issue but honestly this is becoming really ridiculous. Truth is, all the three leading candidates have a fair number of youths supporting them. The people that have been advocating for Tinubu and Atiku on social media are mostly youths or has any of you been arguing with only grandpas and grandmas within…

Ekiti is in good hands, By Simbo Olorunfemi
A few weeks from now, our friend and Schoolmate, Abiodun Oyebanji, will assume office as the Governor of Ekiti State. Months before the Governorship elections, a group of friends under the leadership and guidance of Dr Olusoji Ehinlanwo had come together in support and advancement of his aspiration. The thoughtfulness of that endeavour was quite touching for me, even if…

ASUU Matters: Comparing apples with apples, By Leonard Shilgba
Every so often, our ears are jarred with the hackneyed ASUU claims about the failure of the Federal Government of Nigeria to pay university dons in federal universities salaries they refer to as “African Average”. They usually cite wonderful “examples” of salaries paid university lecturers in African countries such as South Africa, Botswana, Uganda, and our neighbour Ghana. I have…

The skeleton in Ibadan, By Suyi Ayodele
“AND who is my neighbour”? This interrogation came from a lawyer, who came to tempt the wisdom of Jesus Christ on the issue of love. The entire encounter is recorded in the Gospel according to Saint Luke 10: 25-37. We shall come to that story later. But now, let me tell you a personal story that gave me a very…

Steve Osuji, public discourse and 2023, By Segun Ayobolu
Given his oft-demonstrated intellectual and professional hollowness, Steve Osuji, does not see that he cannot credibly accuse his fellow journalists, who he perceives as writing in support of other presidential aspirants in the race for the 2023 presidency, as writing for monetary gratification while he wields his own pen with venom, hatred, intolerance and barely hidden ethnic jingoism on behalf…

Re: Two of a kind, By Kehinde Bamigbetan
Members of the All Progressives Congress and supporters of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu who read the back page of Thisday on Friday, September 2nd, 2022, must have observed that the two articles –“Two of a Kind” by Akin Osuntokun and “ Tinubu and Afenifere” by Seun Kolade were, indeed, two of a kind! Both oppose the presidential candidature of Tinubu…

That Peter Obi’s interview on CNN, By Kayode Oyedeji
My position about him remains the same. His addition is a big plus to the democratic process as Nigerians have more options to pick from. The impression remains that he will be a frugal leader if elected. That is also a plus. A necessary but certainly not a sufficient reason to elect him. He speaks a lot about our problems.…
