Three events made Monday, June 16, 2025, a sobering moment for me. On that day, back in 1976, news filtered that the killer Apartheid security forces which had been terrorising African countries like Zambia, Botswana and Lesotho, had turned on unarmed school children in South Africa. The Nigerian society was so conscious then that I recall adults in Lagos, explaining to us that school children like us were being gunned down. This is what became known as the Soweto Massacre.

Today, June 12, 2025, was meant to be a national celebration marking the 26th anniversary of uninterrupted democratic rule in Nigeria. Instead, it has unfolded as a solemn reminder of unfulfilled promises, deepening hardship, and growing disenchantment among citizens.

There is a profound sense of relief and security that comes with owning a home. Unlike renting, homeownership offers numerous benefits—long-term financial stability, the ability to build equity, and the freedom to personalise your living space to your taste.

The world has never been short of demagogues and fools, but the remedies have often matched the supply. In 1990, during President Nelson Mandela’s thank-you tour of the world, he was asked at the City College of New York, Harlem, NY., why he remained friends with Muammar Gaddafi, Yasser Arafat, and Fidel Castro. He replied that he didn’t think it was the business of any country to choose South Africa’s friends. These people stood by South Africa in its hour of need; why should he betray them now?

he last time a public official wept on national TV, Nigerians regretted offering her towels instead of buckets to collect her tears. She was acting, but we didn’t know it. Diezani Allison-Madueke had just been appointed Minister of Transport and went on a tour to assess some major roads. At the Benin end of the Lagos-Benin highway, she broke down and wept. She was seeing for the first time, outside her bubble, what Nigerians knew and endured daily: poor, hazardous roads. Her tears changed nothing.
