Simon Kolawole: Before the power sector collapses

by Simon Kolawole There is a prank I usually play on my security guy. Anytime I am out of town, I call him regularly to ask about the power situation. He would regale me with tales of how we are burning diesel everyday because power supply is either completely nil or limited to a few... Read More

@saatah: Ethnic politics for dummies

by Saatah Nubari I planned on doing this piece the day after the Presidential primaries of the leading opposition party in Nigeria, the APC; but with the boorish, uncouth and rascally behaviour put on display by the dis-honourable members of our Honourable National Assembly, I just had to wait no more. This is a crash course... Read More

Tunde Fagbenle: We should thank Fashola for curtailing Ebola

by Tunde Fagbenle A few weeks ago when the news went viral (no pun intended) on the presence in Nigeria of the dreaded Ebola virus, the most deadly of the three or so identified types of haemorrhagic fever, we feared the worst. A country notoriously inept at meeting national challenges of any kind, not the... Read More

Femi Aribisala: Why the APC is likely to lose Lagos in 2015

by Femi Aribisala While Fashola has been busy tarring roads, building fanciful tolled bridges and planting grass and flowers; he has ignored the need of the people for basic things of life like food, shelter and gainful employment. Just think how many votes can be harvested in Lagos by telling commuters an incoming PDP... Read More

Suraj Oyewale: Fashola, it’s time to blink | Sanusi – All hail the new Emir (Y! FrontPage)

by Suraj Oyewale Of all the examples critics wield in support of their anti-Fashola elitism argument, the hike in fees of students of the state’s university is the hardest to defend. I have written many adulatory articles on the governor of Lagos state, Mr. Babatunde Raji Fashola and I stand by the accolades. To... Read More

Tunde Fagbenle: Lagos is the emerging city of culture and excellence

by Tunde Fagbenle The transformation of Lagos into a veritable centre of culture and excellence is happening before our very eyes, slowly, surely, and amazingly. This is Lagos. What is happening in and to Fashola’s Lagos cannot but fill one with joy, with each day seemingly ushering in something new. Last Monday was Easter Monday... Read More

Ochereome Nnanna: Take note Fashola, Nigeria is 100

by Ochereome Nnanna There should be no need to question whether Nigeria will be 100 years by January 2014. Nigeria was conceived and born on January 1, 1914. It was from that day that its inhabitants started being known as “Nigerians”. Yes, it was under the imperial rule of the British Crown, the parent nation.... Read More

Opinion: Fashola and the hypocrisy of Ndigbo

Elnathan John: New parties and free elections in 2015

by Elnathan John It is also encouraging seeing the names showing up on the APC train: IBB, Ahmed ‘13’ Yerima, Tom Ikimi, Femi Fani-Kayode. I like how APC is like religion – a forgiving place for ex-sinners. In this case ex-PDP, an Association of PDP Converts. Politicians are like monkeys. The higher they climb, the... Read More

Ochereome Nnanna: Why we need an entirely new Constitution

by Ochereome Nnanna We are in this constitutional mess because the military bequeathed a document that is simply unviable, inchoate and discreditable. It is like trying to patch a structurally flawed building which has developed cracks all over. Between 2005 and 2006, the regime of President Olusegun Obasanjo started elaborate amendment of the 1999 Constitution.... Read More

Obi Nwakanma: The deportation of citizens from Lagos is not only lawless, it is vexatious

by Obi Nwakanma To put this very mildly: Lagos was built by Nigerians with massive Nigerian resources, and it is a migrants’ city. Fashola’s administration cannot hide its dirt-poor under the carpet and by forced deportations. Once again, the Lagos state government deported Nigerians from a Nigerian state; an action that is as lawless as... Read More
