Opinion: Now that restructuring is dead, Yorubas must leave Nigeria!

by Bayo Oluwasanmi As expected, I met with a barrage of flak mostly from Northerners for my article “Yorubas, think. It’s Time To Go!” published July 15, 2017 on YNaija. Little minds are happy to stick in little ruts, smugly resisting change. Of all the devil’s tools for making Nigerians miserable, hypocrisy and self-delusion are... Read More

Farooq Kperogi: Buhari, not Nnamdi Kanu is responsible for Biafra

by Farooq Kperogi On the surface, it sounds oddly counter-intuitive to suggest that President Muhammadu Buhari is the principal reason we’re contending with the intensified recrudescence of Biafra agitations. But he is. Here is why. First, it’s apparent that President Buhari nurses a deep-seated resentment against the Igbos for spurning his political overtures to them... Read More

Simon Kolawole: Shifting “cultivation” in Nigerian politics

by Simon Kolawole If you are a newcomer to Nigerian politics, you should be forgiven for thinking Igbo are sworn enemies of northerners (and I mean the “core north” by that, and hereinafter).

Farooq Kperogi: The intellectual case against Nigeria’s break up (Pt II)

by Farooq Kperogi I want to begin this week’s instalment by responding to a challenge thrown at me by a reader. The reader said India’s relative national cohesion is a consequence of its monolingual character. That, of course, implies that Nigeria’s linguistic plurality is the reason for its tendency toward fissiparity. That is completely inaccurate,... Read More
