For some reasons unknown to me, Nigerians are no longer paying attention to things that matter about the way they are being ruled. They no longer pay attention to some of the things their rulers say. Otherwise, a strange item in President Muhammadu Buhari’s New Year Day speech should have brought millions of Nigerians to the streets in angry protests.

Something curiouser than the perennial fuel shortage emerged last week. President Muhammadu Buhari’s New Year message was the clearest indication yet that the three most senior managers of the oil industry do not agree on the cause of the problem or how to fix it.

The trauma of the daily exposure to daily violence has deadened the soul of Nigerians. Anywhere else in the world, the killing of twenty-four innocent people, by mass shootings, would be considered a national security disaster

We need leaders whose background and previous experience would have prepared them to transcend their narrow ethnic, religious and class affiliations

On assumption office of the current President, the price of fuel was increased to bring an end to the subsidy racket. But whether the racket will ever end is an issue that no one can answer because the ghosts seem to be at work again
