By Olukayode Ajulo In the grand theatre of Nigerian constitutionalism, the Supreme Court has never been a mere spectator. It has stood as the vigilant sentinel; sometimes audacious, sometimes cautious, guarding the fragile edifice of democracy, federalism, and human dignity against the tempests of military fiat, electoral intrigue, and cultural inertia.

By distinguishing between “unenlightened” (short-horizon) and “enlightened” (long-horizon) self-interest, agents frequently undermine their own long-term utility through a failure to account for systemic interdependencies.  Drawing on Socratic philosophy, Smithian economics, and modern Game Theory, this paper […]
