Sanwo-Olu, Obiano are singing the songs #EndSARS protesters want to hear, but we are not there yet

Who would have known that it will take 7 whole days before forces in government places begin to take action? But, today is the 8th day and the Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, is dragging his feet on actual reforms. He probably thinks the #EndSARS movement is another 2020 joke. IGP Adamu first waited four... Read More

Why is Cousin Yemi and family more about respectability politics than correcting a generational error?

Beating about the bush and begging the question are no new concepts to conservation societies. Societies where cultural and morally-defined concepts like respect are sung into the ears of the ‘future generation’, so they pass on like oral tradition. Societies where remodelling ideologies are thrown out like some small rat covered in drainage mud. Societies... Read More

#JusticeForKingsley: Days after IGP Adamu’s letter and extortion is still legal in the Police | #EndSARSProtest

We are still counting days – or hours – from when the Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, sent a beautifully-written letter to the press, acknowledging the rot in the police system and the existence of bad eggs, who will be flushed out in no time.

#EdoDecides2020: The drama continues as Edo APC faults outcome, argues ‘fabrication’ of results

Ondo 2020: Why run after progressive development when we can jog to Ondo to play Ludo?

‘Animal farm’, ‘cruise country’, ‘bunch of jokers’, ‘backwards-thinking country’, ‘country whose citizens deserve their leaders’ are just a few names you will hear Nigerians and the rest of the world call Nigeria. Oh! The country is called Nigeria? We almost forgot. Why won’t we? When we celebrate boreholes that work for one month, roads that... Read More

Dear Special Advisers, these are the reasons you can’t tell ‘older children’ to leave their parents home

Nigerians are the kind of human species who assume they have every right to ask you to jump into a river because drylands are no longer mentally favourable. It is usually a combination of religious, cultural factors, with sprinkles of prejudices formed over time from interactions with other Nigerian human species. At other times, you... Read More

Nigeria’s ‘no near shift’ from empathy to venom – the Mamman Daura Way

Oh please! We are burnt-out by people asking us to snuggle the humanity in us, and sing along the lines of altruism. What’s the big deal? You’ll ask. Let’s not be human together. Politricking, backward societal dictates, the non- existence of the respect for individual opinions, bad leadership, etc, is enough reason to exorcise ourselves... Read More

Starting up a business in a country like Nigeria, where most of the policies are against your favour, is not a simple task. For a woman, it is even harder.
