The foolishness of believing one-sided stories (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Dr Dokun Bojuwade was my director at the Nigerian Institute of Journalism (NIJ) in Lagos, where I launched my immersion in the profession of the Fourth Estate of the realm 42 years ago. Bojuwade was a walking and working wordsmith of immense wisdom and marked erudition. His oratorical submissions were peculiarly plangent. As a student, I was one among many who stood in awe of the language legend in that season of life. One of Bojuwade’s rotund renditions sticks out in my mind to this day. “Nobod
Nigerian presidents: Vilified in office, valued on exit (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Dola is my 35-year-old cerebral and ebullient biomedical engineer nephew who lives in Europe. Dola loves Nigeria, but he hates those he believes are bad Nigerian politicians.

Read excerpt
Since Governor Ademola Adeleke’s ruthless shredding and shocking shellacking of 14 political parties, including the ruling assemblage APC, in last Saturday’s Osun State governorship election, I have been cogitating aplenty. Adeleke’s popularity and political modishness are not in doubt. Osun people love this guy. The almost 600,000 voters INEC recorded in his column were ready to put their beings on the line for him to grab electoral success. And they did. The size and scope of his victory, howe
Osun guber hoopla: Mavericks vote tomorrow (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Tomorrow in my home State of Osun, an election will be held to determine who will be governor for the next four years. The three leading candidates out of 15 are the incumbent Governor Ademola Adeleke of the Accord Party; Nurudeen Oyebamiji of the ruling party, APC, which controls 30 out of 36 states of the federation; and Dr Najeem Salaam, who is holding the banner for the ADC. What is making landfall in Osun tomorrow is a hurricane. I call it such because the recklessness and desperation of po
