How to fix Nigeria’s politics for development (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Hearty congratulations, compatriots, on our country’s 66th Independence Anniversary. I look forward to what President Bola Tinubu will tell us tomorrow, October 1. Meanwhile, I have decided to drill down into the importance of fixing our politics if we want to see good governance and development. I commend the yeoman’s job Dr Oby Ezekwesili is doing at the School of Politics, Policy and Governance under the Fix Politics Nigeria project. I have had the rare privilege of being a resource person at
Nigerian politicians, give peace a chance! (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It’s campaign season, quite alright. From August 19 to February 4, 2027, politicians vying for different political offices will crisscross their constituencies to tell the people what they intend to do if voted into office.

Read excerpt
Last Thursday, August 27, 2026, Osun, the state of the Living Spring, turned 35, having been created by military fiat in 1991. I was one of the advocates for the creation of Osun from the old Oyo State. My advocacy piece was published in the defunct Daily Sketch newspaper on Friday, August 16, 1991.
