I am aware that your relationship has been dogged by rancor, discord and spite for a long while. Yet, you must endure the attrition and accept that you have been trapped by fate. Dear Paul and Peter, I have just been informed that one of you unilaterally announced the ‘split’ of the crisis-prone P-Square. That’s an act of self-determination. It is treasonable and worthy of classification as terrorism. I recall that your late mother paid me a visit at my Daura home a couple of years ago. We shared dinner and discussed late into the night. And we agreed that the unity of P-Square would forever remain non-negotiable. My aides told me that you 'separated' sometime last year, tasted uneventful solo musical careers, reconciled, and went back to making great music. I missed the story. Nigerian newspapers conspired to leave me in the dark by not doing cartoon impressions of the development. But you can’t try that secessionist stunt on my wide-awake watch. You were made a gro...

Like a season movie that is yet to climax, the last seems not to have been heard of the sacking of 15 lecturers, two non-academic staff and the demotion of two others by the Governing Council of the Lagos State University, as more facts have continued to emerge about the issue. One of the sacked lecturers, Dr. Isaac Oyewunmi, who was the branch chairman of the Academic Staff Union of Universities in LASU, said recently that the allegations against him were mere victimisation and that it was “shameful” that LASU relied on “ghost petition” to sack him. He had said, “If you can even prove that I demanded some amount of money from those students, nothing more than that, and some people actually collected money, it is politics of activism and we are used to it. But it is actually shameful. “When you have incidents of a ghost petition and then you use the evidence of a third party to rubbish the career of another – well, it’s interesting; we are enjoying it honestly.” But, as it...

                       Prof. Wole Soyinka Nobel laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka, on Monday, in Lagos, expressed disgust with emerging debates on re-election by some politicians in the country. Some northern governors on the platform of the All Progressives Congress and some allies of President Muhammadu Buhari on Saturday backed the President for a second term. The declaration came on the heels of the open declaration of support of the Minister of Women Affairs, Aisha Alhassan for the presidential bid of former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar, who the minister declared as “our president in 2019”. But the renowned playwright is not amused by the debates going on in the country on the political permutations ahead of the 2019 general elections. Soyinka noted that the current administration had barely gone halfway, wondering why people were already planning to fill political positions. The Nobel laureate spoke with some j...

He said, “We are lucky this year that last year and this year the rainy season is good. If it were not good, I must confide in you that I was considering which country to run to. But God answered the prayers of many Nigerians. The rainy season last year was good and this year with the report I’m getting is good. We thank God for that otherwise there would have been a lot of problems in this country.” Buhari said the mismanagement of resources over the years was responsible for the current economic hardship. The President said that he would continue to pursue programmes that would improve the lives of Nigerians. Earlier, the S...

A Nigerian father caused a stir during his daughter’s wedding recently, when he charged towards his son-in-law while he was carrying out a rather ‘important’ task. The groom was performing the ‘remove the garter’, when his father-in-law quickly grabbed him by the feet, dragging him out from under his daughter’s wedding dress.
