Dangote Refinery IPO is not for you, by Dele Sobowale
Alhaji Aliko Dangote said he wants millions of Nigerians to share in the wealth which will be generated by the Dangote Refinery by buying at least ten shares priced at N525 each. That amounts to N5250 for each minimum investor. The impression was given that wealth sharing is guaranteed once the investment is made. Even […]
Economic devastation of Apapa wharf by governments – 2
READING that statement by the white man who was migrating to Europe, I was temporarily livid with rage. The man was a racist quite all right. But, he was also telling the truth. African leaders have destroyed all the good structures the colonial masters left.

If governments cannot maintain the structures close to them, is it any wonder that they almost always destroy those far away?

Open letter to the president of Nigeria — who ever he is
THE four paged advertisement was not signed by anybody or Ministry or the Presidency. The shameless purveyors of a great deal of the half-truths and outright falsehoods in the narrative could not summon the courage to claim responsibility for it. But, given my close study of this particular government, it bears all the finger prints of two people – the first is a Federal Minister; the second is a Senior Special Adviser to a very, very, very top official of Buhari’s government. The last time the President or Head of State of Nigeria was served by such individuals who have no regard for truth was during the Abacha regime. That horrible government had a Senior Special Adviser, Wada Nas, who was nicknamed by me as Wada Nasty. It also had a Minister of Information, who could not distinguish between lai and falsehood.
