Is it possible that the era of 'meaningless probes' of public officials and lack of capacity to be outraged by 'staggering revelations of old, well-established criminal enterprise' is over? Is it possible? The fact that a man who won an election not once but twice, to govern one of Nigeria's richest states, was actually a convicted shoplifter may have finally shamed most Nigerians into  acknowledging the depths to which they have fallen - and resolving to do something about it.

 

The Nigerian Muslim and democracy

Aminu Waziri Tambuwal

Nigeria as a democracy is given and it is my firm belief that the only way for democracy to strive in a plural society like ours is through the active participation of every segment of the society. Put differently by way of popular participation and constructive engagement and whenever these two elements are lacking, mutual suspicion and mistrust take centre stage.

Sanusi: A class warrior?

GUEST COLUMNIST by James Schneider

A few months ago, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi could do no wrong. In the eyes of the international commentariat, he was a no holds barred Central Bank governor with a snappy dress sense. He had whipped the Nigerian banking system into shape by shaming wrong-doers and forcing the banks to pay for their own bail-out. He won plaudits from Nigerians from all walks of life for his honesty and competence. He seemed to personify what Nigeria’s rapidly growing civil society and youth movements are demanding: good governance.
