The menace of fake agencies, by Reuben Abati | (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Ghosts. Fake, Fraudulent, Dubious Things are not new in Nigeria. The crisis of transparency in Nigeria’s public sector payroll system began, for example, as far back as the 70s, and became even more problematic in the 80s, with the expansion of the public service, and the reliance on cash and paper records for payment of civil servants. The records were poorly kept, cash was paid physically by many government agencies, and this made it easy for unscrupulous officials to insert fake names into th
Adeleke: Winning the battle for Osun, by Reuben Abati | (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The success of the Gubernatorial election held in Osun State on Saturday, August 15, 2026 had implications that went beyond the boundaries of the state. The lead up to the election had been marked by highly febrile conflict, violence and so much anxiety. Being the last major election to be conducted by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), before the 2027 general, nationwide elections, it was a major litmus test for INEC’s preparedness, a dress and technical rehearsal, and the pa
Xenophobia, Tinubu, and Ramaphosa, by Reuben Abati | (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In the midst of the brazen, extrajudicial killings of Nigerians in South Africa, along with other Africans, on the grounds that these are illegal immigrants, the South African President Cyril Ramaphosa has now sent South Africa’s Minister of International Relations and Cooperation, Ronald Lamola, and a team, as envoys to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

The goodluck of the people of Oriire, by Reuben Abati | (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Something almost exactly divine in terms of naming and naming systems in Africa has just been seen in the metonymic correctness of what has just happened in Oriire Local Government in Oyo State of Nigeria. The phrase “Oriire” means goodluck or simply “lucky” in the Yoruba language. In the Oriire community in the Ogbomoso area of Oyo State, the name of a community just fulfilled its meaning, reinforcing the semiotic, signifying index of African words and meanings. In simpler non-teleological ling
