Nigeria is lucky, President Mohammadu Buhari is also lucky. The luck is that we have Professor Yemi  Osinbajo as Nigeria’s number two man. An academic who has continued to deploy his intellect in the discharge of his duties and who is impressing a whole lot of Nigerians, almost on a daily basis. He has been…

All over our cities, especially Lagos and Abuja, streets are named after supposedly deserving Nigerians. I believe this is in keeping with some lines in our National Anthem; that the labour of our heroes past shall not be in vain.     However, some of these names are less than honourable. But we still adore…

Hold FG responsible for ethnic hatred The Federal Government should be warned that it would be responsible for the ethnic hatred in the country. We had warned repeatedly that the FG should insist that vendors and newspaper distributors should be warned by Police Commissioners and DPOs to stop selling illegal publications on Biafra, which uses…

The title of today’s outing is strictly not an original of mine. It is a recall of when I read that Hollywood saga comprising of the Dream Merchants, the Carpet Beggars and the Inheritors by Sydney Sheldon. The three books in combination are often referred to as a trilogy. But we are not talking about…

TO most of us, the strident calls for heavy investments in the southeast ring hallow and have fallen on deaf ears.  Most times, the calls seem very unexciting to some people. It is sometimes utterly discouraging to continuously drum into the ears of wealthy Nigerians to begin to site factories and other businesses in the…
