Tragedy of the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A few weeks ago, Lagos-Ibadan road was blocked again for another round of repairs of a road that was extensively rehabilitated less than a decade ago. This reminded me of what I wrote about the same road in February. I asserted then that Nigeria must do everything for many strategic, security and economic reasons to prevent the road going to state of absolute uselessness like the Apapa Marine Road. I wrote then that anyone who frequently travels on the Lagos-Ibadan expressway which also leads to
Electoral violence and disunity: Backward to the future – 2 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Awolowo’s appointment as vice chairman of the Federal Executive council in 1967 was to help the military prosecute the civil war determinedly.

In my column in this paper sometimes in October 2018, I serenaded Professor Fola Esan at 80. I am now writing some kind of an elegy on him now that he has just passed on at 87. He would have been 88 in October. How sad. Yet, this is the lot of man because we are born to live, struggle, achieve and die. Our time on this side of the heavenly divide is short. T
Political parties in modern democratic governance (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Winston Churchill, the great British Second World War leader was at heart not a doctrinaire democrat and was not ready to grant democratic rights of self-government to non-white member nations of the empire by declaring that he was not “elected to preside over the liquidation of the British empire”. Traditional politicians in Great Britain had for hundreds of years believed in parliamentary democracy based on political parties. When I was in the University of Ibadan offering political science as
