Ogun and politics of nativity (opens the original)
Read excerpt
“Patriotism,” goes that scornful sarcasm, “is the last bastion of the scoundrel.” The nativist comes very close. That doesn’t, of course, mean every nativist scrambling for votes is a scoundrel. But nativists, getting garrulous — even scurrilous — at election periods, are always nasty! That’s the ugly, opening salvo on the Ogun gubernatorial front. The PDP camp of Ladi Adebutu, with Folake Marcus-Bello as its most trenchant voice, has opened a ferocious media campaign, claiming Solomon Olamileka
Wike vs APC governors (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In a rare departure from age-old royal taciturnity, what came to the lips of the revered Edo monarch, Oba Ewuare II, was Nyesom Wike’s comic but cutting ditty — witty to his friends, nasty to his foes: “As e dey sweet us, e dey pain dem, as e dey pain dem, omo e dey omo e dey sweet us!” That jocular tease sent his guests into a long and roaring guffaw!

For the opposition, Christmas couldn’t have come earlier than US President Donald Trump’s “never-ending” war against Iran.

Gone — at least for now — is the sweet government ditty that despite removing oil subsidy, fuel pump prices would trend down — as indeed they did — with the re-advent of local refining. But Trump and his war put p
Ogbeni: Between politics and legacy (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Salamatu Sule, the refined moderator at the book discourse, tried her genteel best to stress the session would focus on development, not politics. Nice try! Leading lights of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) were there in numbers, to support their national secretary! But also there was an “A”-list of Abuja book lovers. In the end, Madam Moderator, both in her chat with the author; and from comments later by the interactive audience, more or less achieved her aim. Well, politics wasn’t exact
Barristers or baristas? (opens the original)

Nigerian Bad Association and Very Dark Misconduct. A man contemptuously conducting a media trial over a pending murder charge in Lagos! In the face of this ethical putrefaction and moral bankruptcy, do we wind up this emBARrassment? — Jiti Ogunye, Lagos lawyer, on X Barristers or baristas? That echoes the 1960s laconic wit, which wondered why folks would sail to London to be called to the Bar, when they could just dart into the many Lagos bars to have their fill! Indeed, that viral video from th
