“The real question is not whether there is a centralization or delegation of power but whether there is efficient government. And this is determined by the conditions in which a government operates… It is understandable that a president should say that provincial premiers should be selected on the basis of merit, of ability – not popularity, not because they belong to this or that clique. You must understand this as a phase. Little did we suspect that our own people, when they got that chance, would be as corrupt as the Apartheid regime. That is one of the things that has really hurt us”, argued the great African statesman and hero, Nelson Mandela, in the March 2001 interview he granted to South Africa’s leading newspaper, The Mail and Guardian. Mandela marked out centralization of power, abuse of political appointment processes, careerism and corruption as some of the issues confronting states-in-transition, and established the basis on which political domination can be interrogated by taking...............

We do like our booms. We fondly remember how we came upon sudden wealth in the 1970s. So when we talk about “agriculture being the next big thing”, we have visions of an agriculture boom catapulting us to instant wealth like during the 70s.

Reality check: it does not work that way.

Rudimentary subsistence farming is the quickest guaranteed way to long-term poverty (please ask “Okada riders” who leave their farms in millions to seek work in towns like Lagos, Port Harcourt etc.) Modern agriculture,

As the days go by, President Muhammadu Buhari is turning out to be the most deceptive leader in Nigeria’s history. Almost everything he said in the course of the campaign has turned out to be lies, while some others like his most prominent campaign manifesto “my 100 days covenant with Nigerians” has been roundly denied by his spokesmen and party chairman. The document detailed his pledge and the first steps and initiatives to be taken in such cases as corruption, insurgency and insecurity, Niger-Delta, Diversity, Health care, Education, Agriculture, Economy, Power, Youth and ICT development. The document laid out the chief thrusts of his administration and the benchmarks it set out to achieve within a 100 days............
