Gridlocked in Lagos traffic on the eve of Art X Lagos’s 10th anniversary, I questioned whether the journey was worth it

By Mojeed-Ekelojumati Rahman The political architect of modern Lagos local governance, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu (PBAT)—who midwifed the creation of 37 Local Council Development Areas (LCDAs) in 2003 from the original 20 Local Governments-would no doubt be smiling at the visible fruits of that bold initiative. Alongside his trusted lieutenants and apex leaders -Otunba Bushura […]

BY DUMBI OSANI In an earlier article titled, “State Creation, Political Frivolities and the Anioma Question”, I debunked Senator Ned Nwoko’s assertion that the people of Delta North Senatorial District are Igbo. I categorically affirmed, based on linguistic and cultural facts, that the Ukwuani are not Igbo. I also questioned why the Senator is particular about Igbo […]

By AMINU JAHUN Kaduna, the North’s regional capital, recently hosted ACF’s silver jubilee celebrations. The scary state of the North should have made the anniversary a less celebratory and self adulatory exercise, and more of a prayerful and self criticism  exploration.“When a large swath of the North is an ungoverned space, there is need for prayers for […]

By VICTOR DADA Developing countries stand at a historic turning point. Their current socio-economic struggles: deepening poverty, weak institutions, infrastructural collapse, elite capture, political volatility, and dependency traps are not random misfortunes.

By Sola Adebawo I’ve been thinking about the atmosphere in the Nigerian Christian community lately, and it feels… tense. Not dramatic, exactly, but like one of those family meetings where everyone is avoiding eye contact because nobody wants to say the obvious. At some point, though, someone has to talk about it. Maybe that’s what this […]

By Kehinde Olaosebikan When someone has quality, it may be latent but when a person is made of great quality, it is discernible to all. Behind every successful man, they say, there is a woman. Her husband has gone to rest in the bosom of the Lord, but she keeps the flag flying and very far […]

By Fredrick Nwabufo This year has been an eventful one for the Tinubu administration. From reforms correcting long-standing distortions across multiple sectors and establishing durable understructures for sustained national development, to policies expanding enterprise and creative opportunities for citizens, the gains of the passing year have been well-forged and hold strong prospects for broader impact […]

By Sunny Joseph Imohimi In recent months, conversations across Nigeria’s digital finance community have been dominated by one phrase: “bad Naira.” From P2P crypto traders to fintech operators and everyday users, many Nigerians are sounding the alarm about fraudulent or compromised funds circulating through informal digital channels particularly peer-to-peer (P2P) exchanges. This concern is not […]

By Elder Abraham Amah  In today’s Nigeria, our threats move faster than our institutions. Bandit groups migrate with the seasons, oil thieves tap pipelines within hours and vanish, illegal miners destroy entire communities before state presence even arrives, and terror networks now use encrypted platforms and satellite internet to coordinate across borders. Yet much of […]

By Emeka Alex Duru There has hardly been any major policy pronouncement or action by the President Bola Tinubu administration that has not been trailed with confusion and controversies. From his ill-digested fuel subsidy removal and floatation of the national currency without any fallback option on his first day in office, through the belated appointment […]

Between mid-November and early December 2025, Europe witnessed a series of high-profile anti-fraud investigations that raised questions about governance, transparency, and institutional accountability. In the European Union, Belgian authorities conducted raids at the European External Action Service (EEAS) in Brussels, the College of Europe in Bruges, and several private residences in connection with allegations of […]
