Missed moments and the search for nationhood (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A critical tactical blunder in Nigeria’s chequered political history is that the country never gave birth to a unified party of independents, similar to the Congress Party in India (1947), the Convention People’s Party in Ghana (1952), the Alliance Party in Malaysia (1957), or the African National Congress (ANC) in South Africa (1994). Such a movement carries loads of vital significance, as it reflects the institutional memory of the anti-colonial struggle and projects a cohesive national ethos
Southwest and the gospel of early preparation (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Southwest, although it now laudably has a Development Commission, ought to project a future that will match the best days of the past. With off-cycle elections now out of the way in Ekiti and Osun States, the region needs to now begin a succession planning. This is so vitally necessary because the region today should see itself as being placed in “catch-up” mode. Yorubaland has a lot of catching up to do in every area of development planning, including infrastructure, the modernisation of ag
Osun: Long live Edenisation! (opens the original)
Read excerpt
With the prospect of a Second Term – whether deserved or not – on the table, Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun State now needs to do critical thinking about what his legacy should be. Barring an overturn of the results by the courts, he has another four years to redeem himself. That act of redemption should not be for himself alone, but for the people of Osun State. Adeleke must debunk the perception, rightly or wrongly, of “Edenisation.” The dividends of democracy must now be spread across the t
Igboho: Vindicated by reality (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Sunday Adeyemo, aka Sunday Igboho, deserves a prominent place in the chronicles of our time. He has been at the forefront of shaping public thought and action, not just in the Southwest zone, but in Nigeria as a whole. He was one of the first to sincerely and commendably put a deepening security crisis on the front burner. To the undiscerning at that time, Igboho looked like he was crying wolf. Subsequent events have vindicated him. There will always be debates about Igboho’s methods, but every
Dìbò k'ó se'bẹ̀ and the raw reality of politics – (2) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As Adlai Stevenson Jr. famously observed, “A hungry man is not a free man.” This truth conveniently haunts our troubled polity, where politicians tend to demand absolute electoral loyalty while offering nothing in return. But, again, can a hungry populace give their best while fending for themselves in a vacuum, and can one harvest where nothing was sown? For any political system to endure therefore, the social contract ought to be more than a one-way street. The two hands must clap: if we expec
