In Nigeria, a nation teeming with vitality and ambition, the youth represent not only the future but also the driving force for progress and change. With over 60% of its population under the age of 30, Nigeria boasts one of the largest youth demographics globally. However, despite their numerical...
Let me start by giving due credit for this headline, which is not original to me. I lifted it from the 1983 song by reggae star, Peter Tosh, in the album titled Mama Africa. The song is Glass House, and it goes thus: “If you live in a glasshouse Don’t throw...
When the year 2020 popped out of the womb of time, nobody knew that it was going to be what Yoruba people call Ogbologbo. Rough and tough. Unpredictable. Hungry and angry, consuming anything and everything it could lay its jaws on. Across America, Europe, Asia, Africa, indeed, all continents, time,...
Election time represents a season for all characters to offload their opinion on the populace, because then everyone has suddenly acquired the right to volunteer perspective on issues and persons they scarcely know. Therefore, I am not surprised when a friend drew my attention to a disjointed piece written...
Whenever Ogbeni Ajakaye writes and dresses Arakunrin Abdulrahman, I do wish it were true. Ajakaye, as always, tries his best, but reality and time have proven that Arakunrin Abdulrahman cannot be packaged over and over. Therefore, Ajakaye continues to run in cycles.

Many would have stumbled on the video whereby Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq went on his usual hackneyed tirade, laying baseless and false allegations against his predecessors, particularly Dr Bukola Saraki. One must confess, Mr Governor is beginning to sound like a broken record - the same record of false disinformation...
On a sunny afternoon in February 2022, I engaged my principal, Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq, in a talk over the propriety of an international conference centre that hosts a four-star hotel at a location just a spit distance from the iconic Kwara Hotel, Innovation Hub, and Visual Arts Centre. He...
I woke up to the above-titled but ignorant piece circulated social on media. While the article dwelt on what the writer considered as Dr Abubakar Bukola Saraki’s accomplishment as a two-term Governor of Kwara State, it struggled to convince that Saraki’s successor, Dr Abdulfatah Ahmed underperformed. Predictably, the piece...
