Ogun 2027: The wrong ballot question (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There is something quite disturbing about the way we discuss elections in Nigeria. We speak of democracy as though the ballot were the final destination, when in truth it is only the doorway. What follows is the government that enters through it, the decisions it makes, the priorities it sets and the lives it touches. Elections are, therefore, not simply contests over who occupies the Government House. They are arguments about what kind of society we want to inhabit. Nigeria’s democracy is still
A Lagos evening (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There are evenings that end when the lights go out, and there are evenings that continue long after one has returned home because the conversation has left questions behind. My last Thursday evening in Lagos belonged to the latter. I spent the evening with Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, his deputy, Dr Obafemi Hamzat, and a handful of young Nigerians, discussing governance, public policy, infrastructure, innovation and the place of young people in the business of governing a city that has long outg

Read excerpt
In the story of Cain and Abel, the Bible gives us one of humanity’s earliest accounts of how rivalry can turn kinship into hostility. The tragedy is not simply that one brother killed another. It is that envy can make a person regard the success of someone close to him as a personal injury. Something of that drama is now happening in Kwara State, where Senator Saliu Mustapha, who once stood firmly within the political camp that produced Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, has moved from the All Pro
Elumelu, etiquette and the grammar we are forgetting (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Sometimes, a seemingly insignificant sentence opens a much larger window into a society. “Good morning, Tony” was only four words, but in the Nigerian context, those four words have provoked a conversation far bigger than the young woman who uttered them or the billionaire who objected to them. What the exchange between Tony Elumelu and a young graduate trainee has really exposed is a translation problem: a generation fluent in the vocabulary of global modernity but losing its grip on the gramma
