by Sam Omatseye Three men have shown us the different shades of love. One shows it genuinely, the other as a show man and the third in dubious colour. I am referring to Aliko Dangote, Africa’s richest man; Mohammed Ndinmi, Africa’s 39th richest person; and Ali Modu Sheriff, the most prominent African politician whose image... Read More

Sam Omatseye: One year of Governor Ambode in Lagos

by Sam Omatseye Lagos has always been a place of small beginnings. A small port town, a puny army, a humble royalty, a seeming patch of land, straggles of settlers. During the Yoruba Wars, it snorted under the shadows of valiant horsemen and kabooms of gunfire exchanges. But it has not taken its smallness with... Read More

Sam Omatseye: Our ‘boy wonders’ up North

by Sam Omatseye I refer to the Civilian JTF, a group of young men who have charted a new path against the rapine and slaughter of the Boko Haram.

That reckless move enjoyed official anointing, and Dariye fought a fruitless battle of restoration till the end. What did the five... Read More

Sam Omatseye: Nigeria’s growing artificial class

by Sam Omatseye I refer to the children of the very rich among us. They are disconnected from the soul of the society. Or shall I say they are engrafting a new soul on our society. Nothing explains the primitive profile of our capitalist system more than the chasm between the rich and poor. This... Read More
