In the last two days, two sworn enemies of Israel have been struck by projectiles flying through the skies, one in Lebanon, the other in Iran. Writers like me can write all we want to write. One thing is clear. For Israel to have survived for 76 years completely surrounded by people who regard them…
In the final analysis, it is sad to hear a Nigerian official putting down Dangote refinery in a video that has gone viral. He slammed the company for substandard product and seemed to be quite inclined to continuous importation of fuel. I wonder what role this gentleman has played in the revitalization of refineries owned…
Every time I am on an airplane, I marvel at the wonderment it represents and how it has affected our lives for over 120 years. It’s changed many things. And so, I always ask whoever is sitting next to me what they believe to be the greatest invention of all time. Some say the automobile….
It appears the Federal Government and Labor Movements have reached an agreement on the minimum wage crisis. This is commendable. The elephant in the room, hyperinflation, remains unyielding. What are we going to do to bring down prices? A minimum wage of N70,000 or any number for that matter is only meaningful to the extent…

Paris is agog. The world has gathered amidst deep security concerns. We do not deny that there are bad people everywhere, determined to inflict maximum suffering on as many people as possible. The world has barely moved a notch since Munich 1972 when PLO terrorists unleashed mayhem at the Munich Olympics, killing two Israeli athletes,…
It is official. Biden has dropped out of the race after the village heads of the Democratic Party went on pilgrimage to Rehoboth to tell the President that the troops were no longer at ease. He got the message. He went one step further to endorse Kamala Harris. That is a good thing. It assures…
In light of what we had always believed and thought of the United States as a country where no one was deemed to be above the law, the ruling that came down from one of the most powerful and most respected courts in history granting wide ranging immunity to Donald Trump looked very much like…
I wish Biden were not running. Period. But, he is, and no one around him including his wife, his son or any other family member would dare to say anything about it to him. The reason is simple. The aura and glamor of office; Airforce One; The West Wing; The Resolute Desk; The Pomp; The…
Not since the era of the Mau-Mau in the days of the struggle against colonialism have we heard from the Kenyan people as we have authoritatively in the last two weeks. There is fire in the Safari. Young people are tired. They are demanding that government make a turn-around from catering for themselves to catering…
