  1. Californians Kamala Harris, Gavin Newsom, and Ro Khanna are under consideration as candidates for the presidency. Of the 3, the most progressive, imho, is Ro. My mind could be changed, and there is plenty of time between now and the election for one of the others to change it. I don't know if any of the 3 will be the eventual candidate - I have no inside information, and my crystal ball keeps telling me to ask again later.

    Any of them would be better than a Republican alternative.

  5. 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.

  6. EDITORIAL: Osun election, the rise of civic action, and 2027 by PREMIUM TIMES

    Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun State was re-elected for a second term in the 15 August governorship contest. It was an off-cycle election like no other before it, in the build-up, with its eerie elements of tension, violence and resultant deaths.

  7. Who is funding Remi Tinubu’s donations? By Baba Martins

    When Senator Oluremi Tinubu mounted the altar during the inter-denominational church service at the National Christian Centre in Abuja on the eve of the inauguration of the then president-elect Bola Ahmed Tinubu and gracefully announced that she would be one of the oldest first ladies in Nigeria, not many knew she would also go down in history as one of the most influential wives of presidents.

  8. The Decentralized Rifle: Can Nigeria Survive State Policing? By Lawson Akhigbe

    We are told this is the silver bullet for our security paralysis. But as Nigeria stands on the precipice of altering Section 9 and dismantling Item 45 of the Exclusive Legislative List, we must ask: Are we solving a modern security crisis, or are we reawakening old ghosts that once broke the back of our democracy?

  9. 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.

  10. A quotation from Herbert Hoover

    You convey too great a compliment when you say that I have earned the right to the presidential nomination. No man can establish such an obligation upon any part of the American people. My country owes me no debt. It gave me, as it gives every boy and girl, a chance. It gave me schooling, independence of action, opportunity for service and honor. In no other land could a boy from a country village, without inheritance or influential friends, look forward with unbounded hope. My whole life has taught me what America means. I am indebted to my country beyond any human power to repay.

    Herbert Hoover (1874-1964) American engineer, bureaucrat, US President (1929-33)
    Letter (1928-06-14) to George Moses
