This madness must stop
Upon reflection on the trajectory of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and his journey to the presidency, I find my mind wondering if my Yoruba Uncle is still the same person that I have always known and admired.
You might need to think through this to
understand me.
The Yorubas already carry misconceptions about betrayal, that we don't keep our end of the bargain.
That we use and dump people.
That we are cunning around the power play.
Except Olusegun Obasanjo, who as both in and outside power as military and civilian

President Buhari, it's about your new CoS
By Segun Showunmi
Dear President Muhammadu Buhari, I am incredibly disappointed in your choice of Chief of Staff. I am getting more convinced, by the day, that you and your generation don’t mean well for the younger ones.
President Buhari, when do you and your fellow septuagenarians want to start implementing succession and generational shifts? How is it that after five years, none of the younger ones around you could be given the post of Chief of Staff to mentor them in the business and

Dapo Abiodun: Setting the records straight
Segun Showunmi
When the all-inclusive, now clearly cosmetic, slow to settle, uninspiring administration of HE Dapo Abiodun started, I had suspected that the idea was, perhaps, to cage all potentially divergent opinions and
strong voices in Ogun. I have now become satisfactorily convinced that an awkward situation of catastrophic proportion is before all lovers of our dear state.
I had penned a harmless note to encourage Mr. Governor and his bootlickers on the need to inject some speed to

A Note to Ogun Stakeholders
Segun Showunmi
Ever conscious leaders and citizens of our beloved Ogun State, I greet you all. I trust that you all must be concerned about the development of our beloved state just as I am.
The activities in our common patrimony demands of us
the need to speak out, in the hope that things will be corrected; and in the unlikely event of that not happening, at least, it will be on record that we spoke.
It is about the peer review of our Governor, HE Dapo Abiodun, relative to his handling of affairs in the last

Shakespearean Femi Adesina
A fool doth think he is wise, but the wise man knows himself to be a fool. (William Shakespeare, As you like it)
In this season when the Villa has become dangerous to the men of your tribe, with the man known as VP now minimized, you have in an
unprofessional and despicable manner tried to do a revisionist explanation full of sycophancy on your warped reading of things around the 2019 election. Why would any sane person even consider there is anything to gloat about in one of the most disgraceful, and embarrassing

Shehu Aliyu Sagari. May Perpetual Light Shine Upon You. A Democrat indeed.
I mourn with patriotic Nigerians the death of former president Alh Shehu Shagari. May his gentle soul rest in peace. He was a very patriotic Nigerian leader with a true nationalistic spirit. Believed
in a United country with equal opportunities for all. As a symbol of Nigeria's reconciliation after the civil war, he chose an Ndigbo as his running mate and later Vice president Alex Ekueme. He instituted great projects that would have launched Nigeria into a strong
