Tinubu: Serving Nigeria’s democratic interests
Nigeria is currently abuzz with debates about the perceived death of democracy — a narrative that reeks of dishonesty and déjà vu. This trend demands deeper scrutiny, as the failure to properly interrogate past democratic actions in Nigeria has allowed half-truths to solidify as misguided benchmarks for evaluating current events. As a result, many have been unjustly vilified on the basis of flawed perceptions.

Serving Nigeria's democratic interests, By Hashim Suleiman
President Tinubu, a seasoned political strategist, recognised the danger of allowing such chaos to fester. Knowing Nigerians might exploit the situation to impose their usual brand of disruptive democracy, he wisely intervened to restore order.

Accidental opportunism and its near-zero sustainability, By Hashim Suleiman
The moral of this opinion is clear: when you find yourself in a position of opportunism, the best path to sustainability is humility — the willingness to learn, adapt, and grow.

Economic nepotism: A closer look at Emilokans and Buharists, By Hashim Suleiman
Unlike during Buhari’s administration, the beneficiaries of Tinubu’s perceived nepotism are not flocking to Abuja in oversized agbada merely to collect free money.

Political Economy and Social Capital of Feeding The Poor, by Hashim M. Suleiman
Making the economy better and employing the poor has far more inferior political capital than feeding the poor with billions of naira of their money. When election comes, a gainfully employed poor man is too difficult to induce compared to a poor man who’s fed during his religious holy month. A better economy means more employment opportunities for the poor. That, my friends, would spell doom to electoral bandits.
A Country of Diametric Extremes

A country that pays its professors less than ₦400 thousand a month but sends its academics to other nations and pays them close to ₦2 million a month.
