Is the federal government a friend of the police? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In the last two Saturdays I have read with extreme discomfort the excellently written stories in the Saturday Sun of September 5 and 12, 2026. The stories titled “Police Barracks of Shame” depict, very graphically, the sordid situation of police barracks in various states of the federation. These stories with pictures reveal to us the decaying structures unpainted and unrenovated; the ramshackle buildings that could collapse any minute from now; the sardinised space occupied by many policemen; t
Atiku and politics of fuel subsidy (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, former Vice President and presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) has stirred the hornet’s nest with his rhetoric on fuel subsidy. He is reported as saying that if he gets elected as Nigeria’s President in 2027, he will bring back subsidy on fuel. That means that he would reverse the policy of the Bola Tinubu presidency on the ticklish subject. President Tinubu was very clearheaded about this issue and did not waste any time before declaring, soon a
Office of the Citizen: In the arms of Morpheus (III) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This is the last in the series during which I have pointed out that followership failure has led to leadership failure in our country. I have also stated that we have not, one and all, performed satisfactorily the duties assigned to us by the Office of the Citizen.

Today, we are looking at how our State Governors have contributed to the wobbly natur
World Cup 2026: Brutally exciting (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The 2026 World Cup held in Mexico, Canada and the United States of America was exciting, very exciting. The referees issued 277 yellow cards and 15 red cards during the 104 games while the players put 308 goals in the net, giving pain to the goalkeepers and pleasure to the spectators. Politics also reared its horrid head in the tournament. Iran participated in the tournament despite its war with America and the tantrums displayed by both countries; the Cameroon-Frenchman Kylian Mbappe had a face
Oloyede’s sprezzatura (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Please forgive me for using the strange, unpronounceable Italian word in the above headline. It is because it fits perfectly into my thoughts on a man called Professor Ishaq Oloyede, the outgoing Registrar of JAMB. Sprezzatura means the art of making the difficult look easy. As Oloyede clears his desk in readiness to hand over the baton to Professor Segun Aina, I consider it a duty to say “thank you” to Oloyede for a gold standard performance at that difficult office he held for 10 years. I had
