Candid Opinion on EFCC Raid

19 Jan 2025

Why is EFCC conducting night raids on homes? Are they searching for drugs? Have they taken over the function of NDLEA? Financial crimes or white collar crimes are mostly about documents and hardly involve violence. I know that fraudsters might wish to destroy documentary evidence on learning that it’s EFCC after them. However, almost every […]

THE COURTS ARE NOT THE LAST HOPE

14 Jan 2025

  The people are the last resort for the defence of the Constitution and democracy. It has to be recognized by all institutions of Government, including the courts, that the people are also a constitutional institution, and one that is higher than them all. Let us read it from section 14(1)&(2) of the Constitution: “14. […]

Crisis of Currency swap policy

14 Jan 2025

I believe that in responding to the challenges of the crisis of the present currency swap policy the Supreme Court should not lose touch with jurisprudence. The President in a constitutional democracy and under the doctrine of separation of powers enjoys some prerogatives, which are spheres of decision making where no other organ of Govt […]

NEEDED URGENTLY – A SUPREME COURT FOR NIGERIA

12 Jan 2025

Nigeria does not have a Supreme Court (SC) and is desperately in need of one. What we have in this country in the form of the Supreme Court of Nigeria is a final court of appeals. The two are not the same. The illusion of the two being the same is what has nearly crippled […]

12 Jan 2025

In many respects, Nigerian election petition jurisprudence is about covering up electoral fraud.

I had […]

The Arrogance of the Misguided Lagos Crowd

10 Jan 2025

We are being treated to so much arrogance by the Lagos crowd. They are threatening the entire country that their plan to hijack 60% of the vat revenue of Nigeria, as pay back for decades of Nigeria pouring oil money into Lagos to grow it to what it is today, cannot be stopped. I do […]

Understanding the impact of culture in the Nation

26 Dec 2024

Culture is what makes nations strong. Culture is not fashion or music and dancing. Culture consists in the values that we hold dear and that translate into the way we relate with one another and manage our affairs. National culture is the blood that flows in the veins of national institutions to lead to sustained […]

The connection between fuel price and value of naira

24 Dec 2024

There have been debate on this forex debacle for years and showing the connection between fuel price and the value of the Naira. Every increase in fuel price is followed by a greater fall of the Naira, calling for more subsidy payment and another increase “to remove subsidy”. It’s been a vicious cycle since the […]
