even private universities in Nigeria are not charging market rates. If they do, their lecturers will earn better and will not teach 3/4 courses per semester. nigerians are highly opinionated. Nah this same attitude make Lagos middle class vote Buhari.

In Nigerian democracy, the issue is not whether someone wins an election or not. The issue is if the person has legitmacy across a broad spectrum of groups in the country. Because I don't see how people can claim to win elections with 20% voter turnout....

there was lots of academic work on how international companies are the main drivers of environmental pollution and state repression in the Niger Delta in the late 90s and early 2000s.... then IOCs plugged into the academic world at the best universities on earth...

comparing thieves and workers is a reflection of the popular culture in Nigeria. One where people think more of “making it” and less of creating value.

@TexTheLaw it is not just child marriage. it is sexual abuse and sexual violence against children. the right question is: Why are YOU pro-sexual violence against children?

Buhari was made president to provide security in Nigeria. While Abuja seems safe, terrorists armed with rocket launchers and automatic rifles are gradually encircling the nation's capital from Kaduna, Niger, Kogi and Nasarawa.

I listened to a speech by James Baldwin where he said something like to be moral is to recognise the shared humanity of your fellow human being and treat them as such. Immorality is the norm in Nigeria.

there's so much conflict research going on in universities across West Africa, but we hardly hear about the scholars doing this work. this is why we are launching @CORN_WestAfrica to improve on the state of the art of conflict research in the region.

as things stand, there's no hope for any form of progressive politics in Nigeria. If society cannot produce a shared progressive vision, then no electoral season can produce the leadership that will transform Nigeria.

the yahoo plus thing is a pandemic. nigeria is losing thousands of young people in southern nigeria to crime. the efcc tend not to have capacity to respond to the crisis. the police is overwhelmed. yahoo plus involves ritual murder and drug use and will evolve into violent gangs.

what’s happening in Nigeria will be very shocking to people from 1990s and early 2000s. Born into mobility and now stuck in immobility. For the guys from 80s, socialised into massive inequality, it is de javu. I want to see how gen z respond to this crisis.

the struggle in Nigeria is a struggle for human dignity. limiting this struggle to short term material outcomes leads to tokenism and that sustains the cycle of violence and poverty.
