…as much as we know the issues around Fowler’s leadership of FIRS, we disagree with Kyari; Fowler is not to blame for the drastic drop in collections. If we must blame anyone, we should blame the supreme leader, who takes issues of the people’s welfare with much levity. And we must beg him to see...
President Buhari should try not to abdicate responsibility and/or relax having farmed out his critical work to just another person, because that same person is still but one man with all the foibles that men have. We voted for the president, not his chief of staff. I am choosing a slightly cooperative title for...
If I would summarise Nduka Obaigbena in a few words, I would say he is someone who tries to think of greatness for other people, not himself alone. He doesn’t do mediocrity. He is into creative disruption. He never forgets a favour, or a true friend. He is a go-getter. Never takes no for an...
(VERY INTERESTING PERSPECTIVE … and some revelations too. Though I thinnk I know this bros o. he ‘hammered’ in the House, not before) Published July 20, 2019 https://punchng.com/n8-5m-monthly-allowance-is-peanuts…/ Mr Wole Oke, a five-term member of the House of Representatives representing Oriade/Obokun Federal Constituency of Osun State, is one of those involved in the minority leadership...
I know many westerners who will die for their dogs and cats, but who don’t care if the neighbor next door would starve to death. When I went for a Masters Degree in London in 2005, my world-be neighbor at 4, Crossfield Avenue, Swiss Cottage, David Cooke, came to me on my first day at...
I was glad the other day when the Federal Government announced a ban – yes an outright ban – on the very frightening and future-usurping practice called the Almajirai system. I had written on this page more than twice, about how that is the singularly most serious drawback for Nigeria, today and tomorrow. If we...
In 2015 after Buhari won the elections, friends with whom I had supported his quest were so excited to get invites to Eagle Square for his inauguration. I didn’t get any such invite and I am usually not excited about ceremonies anyway. For me it should be all about the substance. No one needs to...
I have been told a million times how we who run small political parties do not have structures. The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) is preening to withdraw our licenses. We are being marked, and judged on the basis of the results of one semester. A deregistration – if it takes place – will be...
I was in University of Calabar recently, at the invitation of their Economics students, and one of the other speakers was an accomplished comedian/on-air personality. He made a profound statement that people (like me) who are too serious, never make money. And he is right. The powers-that-be at any point in time, also have more...
The race for competitiveness is every bit as fierce as the competition among companies in the marketplace. Countries compete for investment, talent, growth, and opportunity in a globalized world, and those that are pushed out of the running surrender the greatest prize of all: human development, prosperity, and happiness for their people” – Sheikh Muhammad Bin...
