    Still on government neglect of our hospitals… (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    FEW days ago, a senior pastor of mine called and spoke fata-fata, as they say, about the state of our hospitals. His preambles were something else; it went something like this: Pastor Bolawole, I know you journalists are part of the problems of this country! You don’t tell our leaders the truth. Is it because of the brown envelopes you collect from them? That is why you are in cahoots with them.” I had started wondering what was the matter before he hit the nail on the head: Someone dear to him

    PHCN’s hideous tariff hike (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    I read somewhere recently that the government said it preferred that consumers be metered than for PHCN to hike tariffs. Either the government is not aware of what is happening in the power sector or it is duplicitous and complicit. PHCN has silently been adjusting its tariff without any commensurate improvement in service delivery. I got to know this — and with empirical evidence — last week when I recharged. I usually do this on a yearly basis. PHCN surreptitiously reviews tariff upward and/or

    Revisiting 1951 Western Regional House of Assembly cross-carpeting saga… (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Election cycles are when politicians and spin doctors go down memory lane to exhume ghosts of the past. Anything to get at the opponent. Anything to gain the advantage. Suddenly, we are being told again how the leader of the Yoruba, Chief Obafemi Awolowo, “betrayed” his Igbo counterpart, Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe, and how the so-called 1951 carpet-crossing in the Western Regional House of Assembly resulted in the loss of trust and confidence between the Yoruba and Igbo that have refused to go away. The

    Still on FCCPC and the cement monsters… (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Last week we commented on the scandalously high price of cement in the country vis-a-vis our neighbouring countries which import the commodity from Nigeria but where, incredulously, it is cheaper! What kind of voodoo economics accounts for this? The Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC), a Federal Government agency charged with protecting consumers against sharp business practices, raised an alarm after its initial investigation established what lawyers call a prima faci

    Cement’s astronomical price: Can FCCPC tame the monsters? (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    THE decision of the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC) to probe the scandalously high price of cement could not have come at a more auspicious time. If anything, the question we should ask is, what has the Commission been doing all this while? What has been holding it back from action? The cement cabals have fleeced hapless Nigerians endlessly for years, even decades, with help coming from nowhere. It is as if the cabals have the government’s consent or, at the least,
