Demola Rewaju: #30PercentOrNothing is not a PDP affair (Y! Politico)

by Demola Rewaju Historically, youths have always been at the forefront of change in the Nigerian society until a certain point in the late 70s and early 80s when the military youths who had seized power refused to vacate the stage.

Demola Rewaju: Re-inventing yourself like Joseph the dreamer (Y! Superblogger)

by Demola Rewaju Finally, I must warn you about those people who would forever seek to tie you to your past. Painfully, family and old friends are the two sections of associations that always try to do this. In one of the books I’m writing for publication later this year I recount a story I... Read More

Demola Rewaju: 7 habits of those who do great things (Y! Superblogger)

by Demola Rewaju The fear of failure is the single biggest reason many people never become great.

Demola Rewaju: Why did i get married too? (Y! Superblogger)

by Demola Rewaju That’s where this saying comes from – nobody has a perfect relationship or marriage. I like movies really, but I’m not so much of a movie person when it comes down to it – I’m a writer and a reader and I can do both while listening to music or something else... Read More

Demola Rewaju: Aregbesola should lose, but he won’t (Y! Politico)

by Demola Rewaju Aregbesola insisted from Day One on being addressed as ‘Ogbeni’ (Mister)…perhaps to make us forget he once referred to himself as an Engineer while he was the Commissioner for Works in Lagos state. Aregbesola should lose but he is not Fayemi; and Omisore is not Fayose. In the thick of the 2011... Read More

Demola Rewaju: If Buhari had died, there will have been a coup (Y! Superblogger)

by Demola Rewaju If Buhari had died last week, a coup would be inevitable in the next one month and perhaps ‘a raba’ would be the cry of the northern secessionists once more, as in the first republic. News report last week had it that General Muhammadu Buhari was the target of a suicide bomb and gunfire... Read More

Demola Rewaju: Jimi Agbaje, Koro and the PDP Lagos albatross (Y! Politico)

by Demola Rewaju While Agbaje has a more television friendly mien and urban organisational acumen, Koro inspires greater loyalty from people and has always managed to put himself in pride of place at the national level Flowing from Tunde Leye’s Friday Thoughts where he accurately postulated that the APC is badly positioned to maintain his...

Demola Rewaju: NBA elections – How the Yorubas got it wrong (Y! Superblogger)

by Demola Rewaju The mistakes of the core Southwest (Egbe Amofin) lawyers in this case is clear: they failed to present a consensus candidate thereby dividing their own votes into three, confusing their loyalists in other zones who would prefer to go for a neutral Alegeh or Erhabor than be caught in the crossfire of...

Demola Rewaju: Dear sister, if it keeps you single, then it isn’t working (Y! Superblogger)

by Demola Rewaju Ladies, there is such a thing as setting one’s standard too high and it applies with the man you want to marry.

Demola Rewaju: #OsunDecides – …And the X-factor is Fatai Akinbade (Y! Politico)

by Demola Rewaju An ironical twist occured last week when Governor Aregbesola visited the NASFAT grounds for a programme and donated food items to the Islamic group; the venue was built for the body by Akinbade.

Demola Rewaju: Between Ekiti and Lagos voters – Where Fashola got it wrong (Y! Superblogger)

by Demola Rewaju Frankly, it would be a waste of time to study the Ekiti people and their voting pattern as Fashola, Fayemi and Lai Mohammed have uncharitably suggested – they are not strange.

Tunde Leye: Winning elections in Nigeria – My Yobe experience

by Tunde Leye Whilst the scale and the stakes were significantly lower than running for public office in Nigeria (I for example couldn’t lose my life), the principles in my actions are relevant and so I thought I’d share the story.

Demola Rewaju: All hail the new activist king (Y! Superblogger)

by Demola Rewaju The presence of several APC chieftains in Kano before the announcement of Gov Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso has cast a political shadow on Sanusi’s throne and it may be one he will always have to live with especially as some insist that the son of the late Emir Ado Bayero – Sunusi Ado Bayero, is the...

Demola Rewaju: Where is the wheel of Goodluck in all these?

by Demola Rewaju We have institutions and Nigerian will do well to just leave Goodluck Jonathan alone and focus on the heads of those institutions. While the mainstream campaigns on television went on with the ‘Breath of Fresh Air’ tagline, there was a more subtle undertone in the rural and suburban areas, as well... Read More

Demola Rewaju: Once upon a time there was Styl-Plus

by Demola Rewaju The second problem as I see it was that they tried to shift from the R n B flavour which brought their first album much success to the commercial sounds that most Nigerians seemed to prefer…until Asa came and proved the pundits wrong.

Demola Rewaju: How Nigeria can defeat Boko Haram (Y! Superblogger)

by Demola Rewaju While we would agree that the #BringBackOurGirls campaign has successfully blown open a matter that would have remained under the usual official cover of “we’re working on it”, we must equally assert that finding those girls is a mission subsumed under the larger goal which should be to shutdown Boko Haram and bring insurgency under...

Kadaria Ahmed: Nigeria’s feeble leaders confront fearsome demons

by Kadaria Ahmed Mr Jonathan has a choice. He can rise to the occasion and provide the decisive leadership that Nigeria has lacked. Or he can face a real possibility of watching helplessly as Nigeria disintegrates on his watch. The response of the Nigerian government to the abduction of more than 200 girls from a... Read More

Demola Rewaju: By sacking Gulak, Jonathan has lost a dependable ally

by Demola Rewaju Gulak has claimed that he was sacked because he is interested in contesting for the seat of goofy Adamawa state Governor Murtala Nyako but if that were true, he should have been asked to tender his resignation instead of being sacked outright and dropped like a bad egg.
