No single individual has personified the Nigerian story as Gani Fawehinmi has done. His personal travails have mirrored the nation's struggles. He has suffered more arrests, more depredations and threats to life, than any other Nigerian. His activism went beyond mere rhetoric and his greatest acts of courage occurred, not in the glare of cameras or in public squares packed with ado URL:http://nigeriaworld.com/feature/publication/fabiyi/090909.html Size - 17KB - 09 Sep 2009

For a real-time experience, imagine heading into the Third Mainland Bridge in Lagos during "Rush Hour" expecting the traffic to be through, unimpeded. Unfortunately, most problems confronting Nigerians both as individuals, as a group and ultimately as a country are addressed along this axis of perpetual crisis. The irony is that Nigeria is one country that never owns a fire hydrant URL:http://nigeriaworld.com/feature/publication/odogwo/122608.html Size - 32KB - 26 Dec 2008

There might be need to apply some caution in the introduction of the [derivation] increase. Revenue sharing in Nigeria is a zero sum game. Any higher fractions of income going to one region occur at the expense of other regions. Oil has not only brought tears to the Niger Delta, it has also crippled Nigerian ingenuity and industry.

There is a certain reductionist tendency by commentators that purport to analyze the challenges of Northern Nigeria that overly simplifies the problem, thus stripping the questions not just of their complexity, but of any meaning as well. Questions that lack meaning cannot yield answers that make any sense. URL:http://nigeriaworld.com/feature/publication/fabiyi/121908.html Size - 36KB - 19 Dec 2008

The self interest of people and the proven rational basis for much of human behavior can actually be used as tools for cracking down on corruption. Rational decision theory suggests that if corruption is to be tackled effectively public policy must focus on (i) increasing the likelihood of getting caught, (ii) increasing the likelihood of prosecution and (iii) raising the penalties URL:http://nigeriaworld.com/feature/publication/102808.html Size - 16KB - 19 Dec 2008

The decision of many progressives such as Olu Onagoruwa, Lateef Jakande, Ebenezer Babatope and others, to join the Abacha government and the eventual discrediting of the progressive credentials of most of these individuals through their actions (and inactions) while in the Abacha cabinet was perhaps the biggest dent to the aura of progressivism in Nigerian politics.

In a typical Nigerian setting, probability is essentially event driven, a situation where reality has a historical perspective in terms of ''whatever has happened before''. The missing link is always what is lost to the imagination; thus the ''likelihood of occurrence'' is the glorified futuristic ''If''. It is always left to the gods to decide when whatever happens, how it happens URL:http://nigeriaworld.com/feature/publication/odogwo/111408.html Size - 28KB - 30 Nov 2008

My findings surprised me. Although it is intuitive that there should be a strong correlation between economic growth and the availability of power, I was amazed at how strong the correlation was when I started to work the numbers. A plot of GDP against the available power (in kWh) in these various countries gives an impressive straight line plot - suggesting that there was a path o URL:http://nigeriaworld.com/feature/publication/fabiyi/111408.html Size - 23KB - 14 Nov 2008

The growing drumbeat by the government for fuel subsidy removal suggests that this is an issue that the government is serious about implementing. Nothing can be more catastrophic for the nation at this present moment than the removal of fuel subsidies. Of course, the moral and humane arguments against subsidy removal remain valid - fuel subsidies are the only benefits that Nigerian URL:http://nigeriaworld.com/feature/publication/fabiyi/102608.html Size - 15KB - 28 Oct 2008
