Where is the N2.13b? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Peter Obi is an entertainer. Maybe he knows. If that is true, he would not admit it. If he is not self-aware of his comedy, it makes his humour authentic but ominous. It makes him so because his acts do no one a favour. They are goofy and unspool a phony integrity. This essayist must confess to a few hearty laughs over his skits. His Obidients may not call them skits, though. Not the many China allusions, even if they also tickle. Not when he proclaimed himself godfather to Governor Soludo’s chi
Gani and Sani (opens the original)
Read excerpt
That is the picture in the book, Gani Fawehinmi and Uba Sani: A tale of Mentor and Mentee. It is written by Basirat Fawehinmi-Biobaku, the daughter of the pugilist for human rights and justice, Chief Gani Fawehinmi. It is a book that draws on memory, relishes a father’s example and ruminates over a young man he took under his arm. This is a book that has touched on an important element of leadership. That is, the power of mentorship. This mentor was a sheltered boy before his father died. Gani c
Trump goes for broke (opens the original)
Read excerpt
United States President Donald Trump made a pledge last week to send every American adult $5,000 if Republicans retain control of the House of Representatives and Senate in the mid-term elections. It was an extraordinary gambit to reverse his party’s sagging fortunes in the November poll, and it wasn’t clear how he hoped to fund the pledge or whether it was even legal under the country’s law. Watchers of American political-economy said it would take some $1.3trillion to fulfil the offer to an es
Seyi Makinde’s alawada dream (opens the original)
Read excerpt
If you heard Seyi Makinde of late, you would wonder if the Oyo State governor is on a dissipating journey to be president. He said recently that once he is done as governor, he would be ready for chieftaincy titles and other forms of accolade. So, this man knows his quest to be Nigeria’s number 1 is a soap bubble of a dream, a waste of the people’s time. Rather than canvass for votes, he is campaigning to be a chief from one community to the other. His neck will bow for beads and his feet for ri
The birth of comedy (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Few would have sworn, before this election cycle, that Atiku Abubakar has a sense of humour. For all his decades in politics, no one line or act has drawn a hearty laugh in the public square. If a laugh, maybe mockery. Like the lack of wit in response to Obasanjo’s quip that “I dey laugh o.” His reply? “I dey laugh too.” No originality, no visceral input. Even in his persona, he looks goofy. Straight, tall, often unsmiling, his face does not amuse. He seems he would never have a sense of humour
