... Atiku could not deny that President Tinubu ought to remove fuel subsidy and collapse the foreign exchange regimes, rather he said it should be phased gradually. He was either insincere or lacked a sense of history. thenationonlineng.net/our-boys/


Like Trump, Reagan hardly knows the Bible but leads a groundswell of evangelicals. He is rich, but leads the poor. They are racists, but are embraced by even the minorities who they poohpooh... thenationonlineng.net/our-boys/


Atiku and Obi wept at their lean looks in court but when did they say anything about them on the streets of Kano or Katsina or Jigawa before then? Suddenly, they were the heroes of the street poor. It was a time to act... thenationonlineng.net/our-boys/


America is voting racism over virtue, putting criminal in White House


‘Why Tinubu didn’t attack Buhari as President’ Chairman Editorial Board of The Nation and columnist, Sam Omatseye, fielded questions at a session at the University of Cambridge, where he spoke on President Bola Tinubu's reforms. Click link for excerpts: thenationonlineng.net/why-tinubu-did…


... I had just seen David Oyelowo in the role of Coriolanus, one of Shakespeare’s plays... It was a play about hunger, and how the people are grappling, like today’s Nigeria, with the high cost of goods. But inside the hunger, politics of division simmers. thenationonlineng.net/hero-is-not-en…


Governor Eno wants to grow the revenue base of his state. He chose right by investing in the gold standard in generating revenue. Governor Sanwo-Olu says, “it will serve as a beacon of alliance between Lagos and Akwa Ibom” in the world of business. thenationonlineng.net/brotherly-stat…


Few know that his predecessor, Malam Nasir El-Rufai, did not want him to succeed him. He wanted someone else. Sani, ever a fighter with a dogged biography in civil rights and democracy, fought and bested Malam at the primary. Sani won, Malam zero. thenationonlineng.net/if-you-cant-be…


What was absent was any hint of distemper, as the audience never betrayed any partisan bickering. The organisers saw to that. It was Cambridge, not Chatham House. thenationonlineng.net/an-afternoon-a…


#path to presidency at BBC Is blatantly anti-Kamala Harris


Peter Obi just confirmed the premise of my essay Obituary when he described Gowon as an enemy that should be forgiven. A man who wants to be president calls a man who united us an enemy. He confirmed my view that the IPOB nation abandoned Kanu and made Obi their new chief priest.

For all its many ins and outs, the road network of the state is undergoing facelifts. As he himself said, work is going on in every local government area. A big-ticket chief executive, he is building a logistics hub in the city... More to come. thenationonlineng.net/bos-on-the-bus/


We are, no doubt, living in an age of dunces. We saw that in recently concluded BBNaija with its participants overdoing it. Forget about its prurient dramas and its episodes of vainglorious excesses. thenationonlineng.net/n100-million-o…


He left at 91. He was Brother Joel Olusola. Before he passed, he changed his name to Joel Solupeju. He was my spiritual mentor as a youth when I was a member of God’s Kingdom Society. I saw him as practically taking over from my father Moses in that light thenationonlineng.net/a-mentor-depar…


Why are the tankers abandoning their Nigerian depot for a foreign one. We may call it greed, or others may call it opportunism, we all call it corruption, but many will agree that it is the human propensity for acquisition, or selfishness. thenationonlineng.net/border-for-sal…
