Bail: Nigeria’s Grand Illusion of Justice, Where “Granted” Means “Good Luck Finding a Ghost Surety” by Lawson Akhigbe
In the theater of Nigerian criminal justice, bail is the sparkling prop they wheel out to dazzle the audience with tales of constitutional benevolence, only for the curtain to fall on a punchline so absurd it would make a stand-up comedian blush. Our dear leaders preach presumption of innocence while tying defendants in knots tighter than a Lagos traffic jam. Let's dissect this farce with the cold scalpel of statute, constitution, and case law—before contrasting it with the recent […] -

Did You Tell Them to Rescue the Kidnapped? Nigeria’s Politicians, Generals and the Confusion Between Policy and Operations by Lawson Akhigbe
There are some moments in political history that survive long after the politicians involved have left office. Not because of a great speech. Not because of a great policy. But because somebody asked a very simple question and refused to let it escape through the nearest political fire exit. -
Anarchism in judicial robes, by Owei Lakemfa
My mind raced back to British jurist, Lord Denning who famously declared in 1964: “Justice has no place in darkness or secrecy. When a judge sits on a case, he himself is on trial… If he is suspicious, biased, or unfair, then the judge is the one who is condemned in the eyes of public opinion.” But these words of wisdom seem not to have any meaning to Justice Lifu, shockingly, a former lecturer of Public and International Law, University of Ibadan. For me, what was more distressing was that despite the uproar, Justice Lifu seemed oblivious of the damage he had done to the body polity, the judiciary and his thirty five years post-call to bar history.https://lawakhigbe.com/2026/08/26/anarchism-in-judicial-robes-by-owei-lakemfa/

From Oba Drama to British Real Estate
For the next century Lagos was the prize: capital of the Colony and Protectorate, then of independent Nigeria until Abuja stole the crown in 1991. Herbert Macaulay turned it into the cradle of Nigerian nationalism. The Action Group under Awolowo made it the Western Region’s intellectual and political headquarters. Meanwhile the federal government and the regions fought over whether Lagos belonged to the West or to everyone. Spoiler: everyone wanted a piece of the port, the money, and the prestige.https://lawakhigbe.com/2026/08/20/from-oba-drama-to-british-real-estate/

The Eternal Quartermaster By Lawson Akhigbe
Nigeria's army has been described as mighty on paper many of its soldiers 'ghosts' who exist only on the payroll, much of its equipment stolen and sold to insurgents."The Economist, October 2021https://lawakhigbe.com/2026/08/01/the-eternal-quartermaster-by-lawson-akhigbe/

When the President Outsources Hunger to the Churches by Lawson Akhigbe
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu recently delivered a masterclass in presidential fatalism. In his own words: -
Frankly I don't care if someone ever reads whatever I post. But it is always greatly appreciated to receive even a bunch of stars or reposts. Or even replies: I really #appreciate more it since who asks me questions is giving me more attention than actually tapping a button or two.
And recently I got this need of expressing myself, even to the aether if no one reads. I have something to get out of me, and so I will.
Thank you #mastodon, for this #feeling of... #freedom and no #judgement.
