Tinubu and his incredible ministers, by Azu Ishiekwene (opens the original)
Read excerpt
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has failed to keep his promise to provide a constant electricity supply. He said at a business lunch in December 2022 that he shouldn’t be voted for a second term if he didn’t fix the electricity supply problem and end estimated billing in his first term. Although he modified that pledge by saying he should only be spared if he gave “adequate reasons” for failure, the only thing worse than his broken steady power supply promise is his appointment of paper tigers as po
Calypso: Enslaved African gift and its Mighty Sparrow, by Owei Lakemfa (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Slinger Francisco, better known as Mighty Sparrow, the “Calypso King of the World”, flew away on September 27, 2026. He was ninety. Calypso music was invented in the seventeenth century by African slaves in Trinidad who had mainly been taken from the Ibibio, Efik and Igbo peoples in present-day Nigeria and Congo.

The president’s disappointing October 1 message, by Adekunle Adekoya (opens the original)
Read excerpt
NOT a few Nigerians, especially me, expected that there would be something to hold on to when the President made his speech commemorating our National Day, October 1, yesterday morning. As a newspaperman, I read the message more than three times, looking for that strand of a message that could give hope that at the end of the tunnel in which we have been thrown, there would be a glimmer of light, signalling hope that things would begin a turnaround for the better. Alas, like so many other countr
Giving ex-prisoners another chance (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The appeal by rehabilitated female ex-inmates for society to reject stigma is a timely reminder that punishment should not become a life sentence after release. The Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS) itself now has a statutory mandate to reform, rehabilitate and reintegrate offenders, while its programmes include education, vocational training and income generation through farms and industries. In November 2025, the Service distributed aftercare starter packs to 24 ex-offenders trained in tail
When hypocrisy and doublespeak define a nation, by Ikechukwu Amaechi (opens the original)
Read excerpt
On this day, October 1, 66 years ago, Nigeria gained flag independence from Britain. Within these years, the country reached another milestone – 27 years of unbroken civilian rule, which many confuse as democracy. Ours is not yet a democracy. It may well be with time, but democracy and civilian rule are poles apart. In a civilian rule, power is concentrated and recklessly abused by the political elites without public oversight but the idea of democracy calls for something more fundamental: it re
