Akintunde Oyebode: The beatification of an area boy (YNaija FrontPage)

I always wanted to use a Soyinka play as the title of my Thursday junk, thanks to the bees in Abuja, I finally have the chance. The Beatification of an Area Boy was inspired by the struggles of the poor people of Maroko, and how they were brutally displaced from their homes, their land shared... Read More

Akintunde Oyebode: Avengers Assemble! (YNaija FrontPage)

We thank Tony Abulu for his patriotism; but it is easy to recite the National Anthem when the government pays for your microphone.

Akintunde Oyebode`: “The inevitable meeting of Town and Gown” (YNaija Frontpage)

…The same university has a capital expenditure budget of N450 million, the cost of the house James Ibori allegedly bought in Hampstead, in 2001. It is interesting to examine different views on the state of Nigerian universities and the quality of graduates produced therein. The usual conclusion is our universities are underfunded, below par and produce... Read More
