The real trouble with Hamzat (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Lagos State Deputy Governor and All Progressives Congress gubernatorial candidate, Obafemi Hamzat, defended his description of traffic congestion in the state as a “lifestyle” worth celebrating. Like a true Nigerian politician caught in an indecorous corner of his own (un-)making, he claimed his comment was “taken out of context” by social media users. But what he said was not so complicated that anyone could mishear him. He said, “Anyone who has crossed Third Mainland Bridge at 6 pm going from
N500,000 minimum wage is not outrageous (opens the original)

Sometime in 2019, I started asking people willing to volunteer how much they earned, or at least the range of their household income. When they gave me the figures, it was eye-opening.

Ortom testifies against Governor Alia and himself (opens the original)
Read excerpt
By some stroke of what I assume to be sheer coincidence, two separate incidents occurred on Tuesday that brought Benue State Governor Hyacinth Alia’s reputed spitefulness into the news. The first was his predecessor, Samuel Ortom, who granted an interview with Arise News to complain about Alia’s vindictive politics. According to him, Alia disdains the rule of law, witch-hunts, and stops at nothing to run down his opponents. One could easily have shrugged off those accusations as the standard mea

Years ago, I watched a recording of the live performance of Ola Rotimi’s famous 1971 play Kurumi, starring the formidable thespian, the late Jimi Solanke, as Kurumi himself. It was a long time ago, but one scene still stands out in my memory: when the tortoise is heading for a senseless journey, and you say to him, “Brother Tortoise, Brother Tortoise, when will you be wise and come back home?” The tortoise will reply: Not until I have been disgraced!” That scene was made especially memorable bec
