Ohanaeze @50: The voice that whispers when it should roar (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Fifty years is a long time to find one’s voice and longer still to lose it again. In 2026, Ohanaeze Ndigbo marks half a century since Igbo elders and statesmen, led by Sir Akanu Ibiam, gathered in the hallowed halls of the University of Nigeria, Nsukka to resurrect what military fiat had murdered a decade earlier — the Igbo State Union, banned in 1966 by Major-General J.T.U. Aguiyi-Ironsi in a bid to nip ethnicity and tribalism in the bud. Isn’t it one of history’s cruel ironies that an Igbo son
Ojukwu: Brymo surely deserves the National Honours (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Nigerian singer Brymo of Oleku fame perhaps tired of his checkered musical career attempted to draw some attention to himself and once again, found himself at the centre of national controversy, this time for comments dismissing the historical stature of Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu, the Biafran wartime leader. In a recent interview, the singer reportedly described Ojukwu’s legacy as lacking anything genuinely “historic,” refused to walk back earlier remarks made online, and went further stil
Fidel Castro would have turned one hundred this week (opens the original)
Read excerpt
He died in 2016, but for admirers across Cuba, Africa, and the wider Global South, including my very good self, the centenary is less an anniversary of absence than an occasion to reckon with a life that reshaped the twentieth century’s understanding of what a small nation could dare to do.

It was that he built, on a poor Caribbean island ninety miles from the world’s
Now that the World Cup is over (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The dust has settled on the 2026 FIFA World Cup, and what a tournament it was. Football’s grandest showpiece has evolved into something truly spectacular , richer in quality, sharper in officiating, and more meticulously organised than perhaps any edition before it. The introduction of semi-automated offside technology, consistent and largely controversy-free VAR decisions, and a standard of play that saw even so-called “smaller” nations compete toe-to-toe with traditional powerhouses, all point
WS at 92: The lion in winter, still roaring (opens the original)
Read excerpt
On July 13, 2026, Nigeria did what it rarely manages to do without controversy: it agreed on something. For across the political divide, from Afenifere’s Reuben Fasoranti to President Bola Tinubu himself, tributes poured in for Professor Akinwande Oluwole Babatunde Soyinka, who turned 92 still standing, still writing, still as one admirer put it refusing to let the man die, a fitting phrase, borrowed from Soyinka’s own prison memoir, for a man who has spent nine decades proving that the surest w
