Atiku is right, subsidy removal needs revisiting – 2
By Dele Sobowale Some called it lunacy; others were more polite in their condemnation of the idea of government reversing itself. Few did the rational thing when confronted with a proposal on a vital public interest.

Talk is cheap
On the 3rd of June, BBC Hardtalk presenter, Stephen John Sackur interviewed Doyin Okupe, a senior adviser to Nigeria’s President Goodluck Jonathan.

Fayemi Versus Fayose In Ekiti
Generally, I seldom write about issues at state or local government levels. Since coming on this page almost 20 years ago, I had prioritized my attention to focus on the Federal government – which still controls most of our lives.

His wary, ambivalent answers to certain explosive questions on the state of the nation, betrayed this training. It also betrayed his disposition which is usually deliberate, logical and rarely judgemental.
