Chelsea To Face Man City In FA Cup Final: Chaos Brings Sniff Of Trophy

*16 May Is D-Day Out of chaos comes trophies. It shouldn’t be so, but it’s been the Chelsea way for more than 20 years now: no matter how shambolic everything seems behind the scenes, no matter how many managers they burn through, no matter how scattergun the transfer policy, no matter how much discontent seeps from the dressing room, somehow they spend enough to keep on winning trophies. Since Roman Abramovich took over the club in 2003, Chelsea have had 20 permanent managers (including two longish-term interims, and three who had two stints in charge) and won 20 trophies (Community…

Is Ibadan Tinubu’s 2027 Strait of Hormuz?

Is Ibadan Tinubu’s 2027 Strait of Hormuz?

By FESTUS ADEDAYO Yesterday, Seyi Makinde, governor of Oyo State, rallied Nigeria’s opposition political parties to Ibadan. According to him in his welcome address, the summit was to rescue Nigeria from the stranglehold of Nigeria’s apparent descent into autocracy, “a pattern where the space for real political competition is disappearing.” Ibadan summit’s message is an echo of a famous proverbial phrase and song of late Yoruba broadcaster and actor, Papa Adebayo Faleti, in the classic film, Saworoide. Faleti warned the maximalists of Jogbo country, especially its ruler, Lapite, a corrupt and ambitious king who skips traditional rituals to rule selfishly…

The Prof. Akubue They Don’t Know

By MARTINS CHIEDOZIE UGWU and RAPHAEL AGU Just as the African Democratic Congress (ADC) concluded its congress in Enugu State with the election of Professor Uchenna Augustine Akubue as chairman, a defeated "faction" of the party went into overdrive on social media and even petitioned the ICPC. The orchestrated vilification of Prof. Akubue would have been less amusing if these self-styled political actors had chosen another weapon of character assassination. But why "forgery" in the case of a scholar and global technocrat who rendered 25 years of distinguished service to the United Nations? Comrade Chika Idoko and his associates must…
