Professor Soyinka. OPINION. By Professor Wole Soyinka. But I always find it utterly ludicrous when some scoundrel issues an ultimatum on the Igbo to vacate Yorubaland. And by Yorubaland, they mean Lagos. It is laughable because only a fool who hates the Yoruba will commit such knavery. Not that it will ever happen, but the day the Igbo leave Lagos is the day Lagos moves from being Africa’s most thriving commercial hub to one of the poorest states, not…

Chief Ozokhome, SAN. OPINION. By Mike Ozokhome. The broadcast was lame, defensive, lacklustre, uninspiring and devoid of Presidential gravitas. It convinces more that the president is out of tune with the stark reality of a 208 million people he governs. He compared us with some neighbouring countries. I disagree with Mr president. Do many of them produce oil? Are we not the 7th oil producer in the world? Is Buhari aware that most of our industries have relocated to,…

Labour. By Editor-in-chief.Maturity as Edward A. Strecker postulated, is a quality of personality made up of elements like reliability and persistence to carry out a goal in the face of difficulties and achieve set results. It is stick-to-itiveness, the ability to stick to a job (or struggle), to work on it and to struggle through it until it is finished, or until one has given all one has in the endeavour. To support this position of Strecker, an ancient…
