by Muyiwa Adetiba So the problem is not really with Jonathan or who ever might succeed him. The problem is with our weak system, and the unwillingness of our leaders— and we the people— to strengthen the institutions that will make for good governance. General Olusegun Obasanjo took one of his protégées, Dr Goodluck Jonathan... Read More

Opinion: Golden Eaglets victory – The beautiful ones have done it again

by Muyiwa Adetiba For us as Nigerians and Africans, it was a beautiful moment as everybody thought we had entered the world stage. And Pele, the same acclaimed Pele, endorsed the boys when he said they would rule the world if they could be kept together for a few years to mature as a unit.... Read More

Opinion: This is to Mandela, Arafat, Khadafy, Soyinka and others that got away

by Muyiwa Adetiba I am thinking more professionally at the stories, or more precisely, at the interviews I missed in my career. A joke went viral in the early days of the GSM which read: ‘What is it that starts at the neck, slides through the breasts, caresses the belly button, and moves across the thighs?... Read More

Opinion: On praying for our political rulers

by Muyiwa Adetiba What God wants is not a Christian leader or a Muslim leader because he sees the heart of every man. What He wants is a humble leader who fears the Lord and does His will by rooting out injustice and immorality wherever they lurk while promoting the interests of the poor and... Read More

Opinion: Is religion dividing the South west?

by Muyiwa Adetiba I also hear certain moves are going on to make sure ‘Christians are no longer swept aside in the scheme of things’ by people who are planning to massively campaign for any party that brings up Christian candidates in 2015. Last Tuesday’s Sallah would have been celebrated by all — Christians, Muslims... Read More

Opinion: Lessons from the great PDP implosion

by Muyiwa Adetiba The founding fathers of the PDP wanted a broad based party that could capture power while providing the ‘dividends of democracy’ on its own terms. In its quest to get as many ‘big men’ as possible, they played down issues of discipline and integrity and ignored the antecedents of many of the... Read More

Opinion: Big Brother is watching, even in the ‘privacy’ of your car

by Muyiwa Adetiba So for the young— and not so young— a car is a get away place (and that includes all kinds of ‘get away’). It can also be an improvised theatre for frolics and experiments. They say a dog is a man’s best friend. I disagree. In this part of the world, it... Read More

Opinion: A case of the farmer and the roadside thief

by Muyiwa Adetiba It is one thing to defend your turf. We all have to do that from time to time. But to use ethnicity and tribal sentiment as the core reason for attacking— or defending— every position is taking us out of the 21st century. If the stories around a ‘certain deportation’ leave an unpleasant... Read More

Opinion: That lonely world of our aged

by Muyiwa Adetiba Old age needs not be an albatross. It should actually be something to look forward to. After all, we all plan on growing old with grace. But as it is, all the money in Central Bank won’t help us when the children fly the nest, friends and associates start dropping off, and... Read More

Opinion: Sen. Yerima and the self-professed progressives

by Muyiwa Adetiba I would also have loved to know how many daughters Senator Yerima has and what the fate of those girls are. The interview granted by Senator Sani Yerima to a major newspaper last Saturday did little justice to the issues at hand. I had looked forward to reading it in the hope... Read More
