Today I participated in two remarkable events in Lagos from a virtual connection. One was the CVL LWT that honored 3 women VCs, Unilag, LASU and UNAB, with a colloquium on higher education. The other was the Emeka Obasi Memorial lecture at which JKFayemi as Speaker, and…

I posted condolences to Nigerians on the Petrol Tanker accident fire on the East-West Rd and have seen retorts assuming it was on the Lagos Calabar Coastal Highway. Shows that the toxicity created by our road to fascism is not even leaving room to read or hear what the other is…

If we shout May Day MayDay. It would communicate emergency. On this May 1st the plight of the ordinary Nigerian and the worker is a state of emergency. I stand in solidarity today with the citizen battered by the economy and poor governance as I do with leaders of the NLC and TUC…

If we say May Day MayDay it would be an emergency. On this May 1 2024 it is an emergency for the ordinary person. As we chant Aluta in solidarity with workers everywhere and celebrate the dignity of Labour I send felicitations to leaders of the NLC and TUC and challenge…

The new tribe will derive much Oxygen from the Diaspora. Recalling how the Diaspora reshaped post Meiji Restoration Japan and in more recent experience China rising and India rising the tribe abroad will have to seed the home base with values and ideas of their place of domicile

This new tribe to which the willing accede must prepare for a stoic reproach to haters and those who see the public space as arena for bigotry. It must acknowledge that the public sphere is peopled by the good the bad and the ugly but neither descend to their ways nor take flight

The New tribe whose portal will be unveiled tomorrow challenges citizens to dream a future desired and own the making of that future. Not them but me. They have to assiduously find how to enable themselves and build the capacity to become catalysts accelerating the path to that…

The New Tribe whose portal will be unveil tomorrow and whose naming ceremony is scheduled for 1st October 2024 as a community of values ascribes to the universal dignity of the human person, subscribing to those words of our premier national anthem, though tribe and tongue may…

Aluta continua. Surely victory is certain for those who believe and climb out of the idiot and tribesman mode to become citizens willing to organize to make society work and achieve the great escape from misery knowing solidarity flows from our shared humanity

Until public life is wholly about sacrifice and care for others over the blinding narcissism that is todays norm in Nigeria our efforts at greatness will be spectacularly failed efforts. But those who are driven as founding fathers by the greater good of the future shall harvest…

It is also a good day to reflect on the policy choices that have kept Nigeria down. That we may not Labour in vain we must celebrate the work ethic, creative application of the mind to production, integrity, regard for neighbor and elevation of the dignity of the human person.

I celebrate today the working people of Nigeria. I pray that their cause and their plight be the rallying force for national redemption in Nigeria and that those who serve them as leaders in the Labour movement and politics be minded mainly by their good, the common good of all,…
