[The Media Blog] We said this about Dele Olojede last year…

In the wise words of many Nigerians, “as if we knew“. Still, we are disappointed at what finally came in the mail. Subair came with complexity, nuance and humility.

[The Media Blog] Dele Olojede is still blaming others for his failures at NEXT, and that’s nonsense

Not the mismanagement of debt, not the unreasonable top-heavy expenses, not the unnecessary daily paper that was a bad business idea from... Read More
