    What is killing Nigerians? (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    There are moments when coincidence begins to feel like a pattern. Over the past few months, news of Nigerians dying from cancer has arrived with disturbing regularity. In May, Nollywood actor Alexx Ekubo died at only 40. His family said the cause was complications from advanced metastatic kidney cancer. Then, in August, came the death of veteran Yoruba actor Taiwo Hassan, popularly known as Ogogo, at 66 after a battle with stage-four cancer. These are prominent names, and prominence can distort

    Who pays to own Nigerian knowledge? (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Last week, writing about Niprisan, I argued that knowledge is not power until you own it. It was deliberately provocative, but the point was not that knowledge possesses no intrinsic value unless somebody puts a price tag on it. Knowledge can liberate, heal, illuminate and transform society long before it generates a penny. My concern was narrower: when knowledge produces economic and technological value, who possesses the institutions capable of protecting, financing, scaling and capturing that

Our conversation wandered into the subject of polypharmacology, a term increasingly prominent in contemporary pharmaceutical science. Stripped of its seemingly intimidating nomenclature, the idea is reasonably straightforward. For a long time, an influential model in modern drug discovery was built around the prin

    Who will teach AI about Africa? (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Last Tuesday morning, I returned to Oyo to deliver the keynote address at the 2026 Annual Conference of Emmanuel Alayande University of Education. The gathering at the university’s Erelu Campus had chosen an urgent theme: “Innovating Education for the Future: AI, Digital Pedagogies and Inclusive Practices.” Inside the 500-seater hall were university leaders, teachers, scholars and students. But the real guest in the room was the future, already arriving and refusing to wait until our institution

    Government has no business in business? Ask Odu’a (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Long before “government has no business in business” became an article of faith in Nigerian public life, the people of the Old Western region had answered it in concrete. They took the proceeds of cocoa, gathered through public institutions, and built roads, schools, industries and estates. In 1965, Cocoa House rose above Ibadan as West Africa’s first skyscraper. It was more than a tall building. It was confidence given height: proof that a people could turn the sweat of farmers into capital, an
