Lade Bunuola, Master of Prose @80
As students of communication back in those days at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, the Guardian newspaper was a must read, and specifically the array of dazzling essayists who made you proud of your choice of journalism as a career path. The paper was a subject of discussion in and outside the classroom.
Two challenges faced us in getting the paper. One, each day, there were very few copies brought to the newsstand on campus by the vendor, which meant that you must book a copy in advance and two, even where you could count on the friendship of the vendor, the cover price of a daily edition of the paper was daunting for many who struggled to get “two square” meals in a day.
To get by, many students joined the “Free Readers Association,” at the newsstand, or used the cheap photocopy machines at the Library to reproduce the daily columns of paper which written, at that time, by the best prose stylists you could get anywhere in the world.
This is where I met the celebrant, Lade Bunuola, “Ladbone,” the Guardian writer with appealing themes under “The Ram”, but beyond that, a characteristic style exhibiting a unique grammatical structure and a natural flow of language and common sense.
I became captive to his stunning and quotable essays written in simple language, especially given that they were philosophically weighty.
His contemplative and luminous style of writing profoundly resonated with me and many in the class, and continues to do even more so, now that he is even deeper, philosophically.
We will continue to follow, consume and learn from his mesmerizing rhythm and rich anecdotes and wisdom as he maintains regular online appearances.
Many happy returns, Sir.

Dear Colleagues,
I am introducing to you an entirely new publication, The Nigerian Local Government News, of which I am chairman, and my friend form the Jackson School of Journalism, University of Nigeria, Nsukka, David Tosin Bakare as the Publisher/Editor-in-Chief.
The multi- media publication is set to build Africa's first authentic Development Communication media ecosystem using the Nigeria Local Government News as the flagship brand for now.
In addition to his extensive journalism practice, Bakare had served as Brand Manager and later, Head of Marketing at Nigerian Breweries Plc ( Ota). He was also a Marketing Manager at Euroglobal Distilleries, Ota, Ogun State.
The introduction of the magazine arm on October 24 which is the World's Development Information Day is intended to underscore the development orientation of the media chain, and bring it to global awareness and attention of Development Partners.
A national launching will follow in Abuja in the coming weeks.
Best Regards.
Congratulations to my friend, Ogaga Ifewodo on winning the NLNG award.
The honor that comes with the award is enormous, and this is what I am most happy about.
The cash prize is for you, a shot in the arm. I hope the taxman will give you a waiver as they have done for high profile businesses. In fairness, the Education & Youth Empowerment initiative under their Renewed Hope should give you a cover from the taxman.
HOW AND WHY SUNRISE, LENO LOST IN PARIS.
There are good reasons why Leno Adesanya and his company, Sunrise Power Transition Company lost their case at the International Chamber of Commerce, ICC, an outcome that sparked widespread nationwide celebrations across Nigeria.
The ICC threw out the USD 2.35 billion claim by Sunrise on the Mambila Hydro Electric Power Project over the weekend and, as widely reported, and also rejected a USD 400 million settlement claim, ordering instead, the company and Adesanya to reimburse Nigeria about USD 11. 82 million in legal and other expenses.
As a news person -perhaps the only one- in the Nigerian team present at the January 15 2025 sitting of the tribunal in Paris, one was privileged to witness the universe of corruption, falsehood, deceit and lies by Sunrise and its owners melt on the floor of Ritz Carlton Hotel’s meeting rooms.
At the hearing, Presidents Olusegun Obasanjo and Muhammadu Buhari featured as strong pillars of the country's defense against this flagship scheme similar to the P & ID in using international arbitration to steal billions of dollars from the country using fraud, deceit and lies, and as did some others including the NSA, Nuhu Ribadu and Buhari Ministers, Engineer Sulaiman Adamu and Babatunde Raji Fashola.
It was, however, clear from day one that Leno and company would lose this case following the failure of all the witnesses they invited, including, of course a beautiful lady from Senegal allegedly providing comfort to one of their government contacts.
At a stake in Paris was the extraction of USD 660 Million and a second one to follow for USD 2.7 billion from the country’s treasury through bogus claims of failed contracts.
The two past Presidents, alongside other key witnesses were prevailed upon by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to rise to the occasion of defending the nation against fraudsters whose stock in trade was to bribe and get government contracts, only for them to use such projects to obtain huge sums of money as costs for settlement using arbitration.
In the year before, the English Supreme Court saved Nigeria from the theft of USD 11 billion through similar schemes, and President Tinubu vowed “ not again.”
The team to Paris was led by the Minister of Justice and Attorney General of the Federation, Lateef Fagbemi, SAN.
At its meeting of 21 May 2003, the Federal Executive Council, FEC, chaired by the then President of Federal Republic of Nigeria, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, considered a memo for the issuance of Mambila contract to Leno and his company, and refused to give its approval, asking that the memo be withdrawn while noting that the establishment of new power plants must be done through a competitive process.
In spite of the above backgroud, on 22 May 2003 – the next day and seven days before the end of President Obasanjo’s first term – the Minister of Power and Steel at that time, Dr. Olu Agunloye, sent Mr. Adesanya of Sunrise a letter purporting to indicate a preliminary ‘approval’ for Sunrise to have a role in the construction of the Mambilla Hydroelectric Power Station with a value of USD 6 billion.
As far as credibility and reputation are concerned, Sunrise got the so-called “award” without any prior expertise on such projects or any real assets.
Documents placed before the tribunal by Nigeria included filed statements by Sunrise at the Corporate Affairs Commission, CAC that the company had no turnover in 2017, 2018 or 2019, and had total net declared assets of only N1,000,000 (one million Naira).
At the time they received the “award,” the financial position of the company was N318,685 on 3rd December, 2004 and N270,370 as of 31st December, 2005.
A new Minister wrote to Leno Adesanya of Sunrise to confirm the non-approval of the FEC, on 3 September 2003 and therefore had no contract whatsoever with government.
A new tender process was initiated and the contract was awarded to two Chinese companies, CGGC and CGC.
At a later meeting between president Muhammadu Buhari and the Chinese leader, Xi Xiping the Nigerian president requested funding by ChinaExim bank of the Mambila project, and requested President Xi to nominate credible companies to execute the contract.
President Xi gave an instant commitment of the Chinese government to promoting the promote the project.
Sunrise wahala began by demanding payment of (1) GBP 33 million as the costs that it had allegedly incurred “on preparation for the execution of the project”; and (2) USD 1.2 billion, which allegedly represented 20% of the USD 6 billion estimated cost of the Project “as projected profit of our client [Sunrise] on the project.”
Sunrise sought to prevent the Project from moving forward by taking the following steps: One, filing a claim at the Federal High Court against Nigeria’s Minister of Power, the Attorney-General of the Federation, CGGC, and CGC and two, they sought an order preventing any development of the Project except through Sunrise and, in the alternative, claimed the sum of USD 960 million in alleged damages.
As a result of the Sunrise litigation, the project was held up for all these years. ChinaExim withheld funds - as would any lender - pending the resolution of the legal tussle.
In order to move the Project forward, Nigeria entered into settlement discussions with Sunrise, CGGC, and CGC. The settlement discussions were inherited by the administration of President Buhari.
In those discussions in 2012, the Federal Ministry of Power entered a ‘General Project Execution Agreement’ with Sunrise and Sinohydro (another Chinese contractor that Sunrise had involved) (the “GPEA”), an initial agreement with Sunrise relating to the Mambilla Project.
On the 14th January, 2015, a letter was signed by the Federal Ministry of Power supposedly giving approval for Sunrise to be engaged as the local content partner on the Project.
On 9 November 2019, a meeting was held between, on the one hand, Sunrise, represented by Mr. Adesanya, and, on the other, Nigeria’s Attorney-General and Minister of Justice and the Minister of Water Resources in London.
At that meeting, it was made clear to Mr. Adesanya / Sunrise that any settlement negotiated would, of course, depend on approval by the president.
At this meeting, Mr. Adesanya offered to accept a figure of USD 500 million, and the Minister of Justice and the Minister of Water Resources – no doubt under pressure to settle the dispute so that the Project could proceed – made a counter-proposal of USD 100 million.
After a series of meetings, the Attorney General and Minister of Justice and the Ministers of Power, Finance and Water Resource agreed to propose the sum of USD 200 million as a full and final settlement of Sunrise’s claims, subject, understandably to approval of the President. This proposal was accepted by Sunrise.
On 25 March 2020, a second document entitled ‘Addendum to the Term[s] of Settlement’ was signed between Sunrise and representative of Nigeria. Again, the document provides for a potential doubling of Nigeria’s liability by another USD 200 million in case of delayed payment.
On 31 March 2020, the ‘Terms of Settlement’ and ‘Addendum to the Term of Settlement’ were presented to President Buhari for the first time for his approval. Upon reviewing the documents, the President decided not to grant approval. In a hand-written and signed note dated 20 April 2020, the President withheld his approval for entry into these documents, on the basis that “FG [the Federal Government] hasn’t got USD 200m to pay [Sunrise]”.
Despite repeated attempts, President Buhari wasn’t convinced that Nigeria should pay USD 200, or even higher to someone who did nothing but merely presented an unauthorized contract document.
….. From here, Sunrise commenced another arbitration against Nigeria alleging a violation of the terms of settlement, at which it asked to be paid USD 680 million.
President Tinubu welcomed the tribunal verdict as the removal of the “ biggest legal hurdle” in the path of the 3,960MW Mambila power project, describing it as an affirmation of Nigeria’s determination not to succumb to the “predatory and exploitative claims by local and international entities and their enablers and funders.” Well said.
The next steps he needs to take, in national interest and in honor of the late president whose heart was in the Mambila project until his death, is to urgently link up to the Chinese leader, to get him to fulfill his longstanding promise to fund the power project.
Leadership Man of the Year:
WHY ABDUL SAMAD, NDUKA MATTER.
This year, the Leadership newspaper is conferring its prestigious Man of the Year award on two Nigerian icons in recognition of their leadership journeys:
Prince Nduka Obaigbena, one of Nigeria’s most famous and admired media figures is a man who shaped, and continues to shape different eras in Nigerian journalism.
Abdul Samad Isyaku Rabi’u, born on August 4, 1960 is a Nigerian billionaire businessman and cement magnate. His is a name that goes far beyond the boardroom. While he is renowned as the chairman BUA Group of Companies which he transformed into a global business empire, his contributions extend well beyond the corporate world. Abdul Samad’s philanthropy is a beacon of hope for millions, and his selfless giving continues to leave lasting impressions on Nigeria, Africa and the world. By showing that business can move beyond the notion of profit, Samad, as fondly called by friends has showcased how true leadership is not only about business success but also about creating a lasting social impact.
As the executive chairman of BUAFOODS, he drove the expansion of the conglomerate into Nigeria’s most capitalized company, with a share price of approximately ₦760.60 and a market capitalization of roughly ₦13.69 trillion.
Currently, he is Africa’s second richest person with a net worth estimated at between $13 billion and $19 billion in 2026. Samad has always stood for more than business. To Nigerians, he personifies kindness, purpose, and institution-building. He is Nigeria’s, indeed Africa’s philanthropic giant.
When the Covid-19 crisis rocked and racked livelihoods, lives and even nations across the globe, Nigerian business leaders formed what they called the Coalition Against COVID-19, known as CACOVID. Led by Aliko Dangote, Africa’s wealthiest man, the coalition was backed by Access Bank Group, Zenith Bank, Guaranty Trust Bank, and several others including the BUA Chairman, Abdul Samad. Rather than solely funding temporary relief, which he noted was the major shortcoming of the CACOVID relief programs he and the others put in place, Abdul Samad seized the momentum to sharpen and accelerate his visionary legacy of transforming lives in Nigeria through philanthropy and social impact initiatives.
It’s the famous American author and motivational speaker Tony Robbins who said “by changing nothing, nothing changes.” Like a bolt from the sky, came in 2021, the Abdul Samad Rabi’u foundation, ASR Africa Initiative which is the brainchild of the industrialist and philanthropist, with an annual pledge of $100,000,000 (USD) with Nigeria to benefit $50,000,000 (USD) yearly and the rest of Africa, $50,000,000 (USD) in what is the largest private philanthropic giving of its kind by an individual on the continent.
He believes in using wealth to uplift society and to address some of the most pressing challenges facing humanity. From education to healthcare, water supply to rural development, Samad’s charitable efforts have touched countless lives.
As one of the world’s leading philanthropists of the 21st century, Abdul Samad’s compassionate ethos of giving is evident in his generous donations to education and healthcare. ASR has built, among many other projects, a N310 million students hostel at the Federal University of Technology, Minna; a N270 million Abdul Samad Rabi’u Sports Complex at the University of Jos; N250 million admin block at the Federal University of Technology, Owerri; N250 million sports center at UNIPORT; N1 billion learning facility at UNILORIN; another billion Naira Integrated Agric Center at the Bayero University, Kano and a language center at the Nigerian Defence Academy, NDA.
The foundation has, to its credit, several other projects including lecture theaters, auditoria, classrooms, libraries, laboratories, staff quarters and offices, ICT facilities, books, journals and periodicals, machines and other research equipment thrown at institutions of learning in Nigeria, Ghana and other African countries.
ASR Africa has also made contributions to the well-being of our defence and security agencies through projects such the N2 billion Naira Nigerian Navy medical center in the FCT; a N500 million immigration staff accommodation for the Immigration Service and another N500 million for the Correctional Center (Prisons Service); a 150 bed mega hospital for the police in Abuja, and a hospital for the immigration service in Bauchi. The foundation has built a palace for the Royal Igbogila Kingdom in Ijesha in Ogun State for N1 billion; a contribution of N5 billion to the IBB national library project and the ongoing construction of the Malam Abdulkarim Juma’a mosque in Zaria.
The history and extent of his passionate support for health and welfare is another little-known detail about Samad.
Through this foundation, he has enabled the construction and rehabilitation of healthcare facilities, equipping them, developing research capabilities for researchers, healthcare practitioners and community level service providers.
Among the many projects executed include a N2.5 billion teaching hospital at Akwa Ibom State University, Uyo, a N2.5 billion school of nursing at Sokoto State University in Tambuwal, a N2.5 billion school of health technology in Gwadabawa also Sokoto state; a N2.5 billion Oncology and diagnostic center in Ilorin; a N2.5 billion Stella Obasanjo Hospital in Edo state, a N250 million clinic at the Nigerian Law School as well as a record number of hospitals in Kano, Katsina, FCT, Bauchi and Sokoto given ambulances and tuberculosis centers. Ten states got kits for sexual assault repentance centers.
In his effortless stride of his giving, Samad sparked a national enthusiasm when he offered a cash reward package of up to USD1.5 million to the Super Eagles during the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in January, 2025. In the end, we lost the semi-final to the host nation, Morocco in a penalty shootout. Despite the defeat, he still went ahead dishing out USD 500,000 in appreciation of the team’s “resilience, passion, and strong performance throughout the tournament.”
Through philanthropy and strong conviction with an eye on nation building, Abdul Samad continues to create and support countless social uplift programmes in areas such as health, education, national security, water, sports , livelihoods and social welfare, all with one core purpose — to improve the quality of life of those it touches at home in Nigeria and other countries in Africa. His selection as the 2026 “Man of the Year” by the Leadership Media Group is an eloquent testimony to why Abdul Samad, a major global player, matters.
… And Nduka Obaigbena.
I have told my Nduka story before but given the importance I attach to it, its bears repeating. Many years ago, we met at his instance to decide if would partner with him in his upcoming magazine, TheWeek, with ties to the Time Magazine where Mr. Obaigbena had worked in the past. After all has been said, our representative at meeting asked an important question:
What happens if the beautiful dream crashes? Is there a fallback to it?
Our host, Nduka Obaigbena shoved aside the issue, saying we are all taking a risk, there is nothing to lose. None of us here has a family. We, (I and my editor, Malam Kabiru Yusuf) decided that this would be a dangerous journey; the guy is not a serious person, we concluded.
TheWeek took off and crashed but in its place, he went on to found ThisDay.
Malam Kabiru, with a few friends started the Daily Trust which has gone on to break so many barriers and myths and about the success or lack of it in publishing in Northern Nigeria. The Trust Newspapers are today printed simultaneously in Abuja, where they are headquartered in a five-story building, in Kano, Maiduguri, Lagos and Port Harcourt, the only one to so in the country.
Nduka Obaigbena has built ThisDay (Leaders and Company) into one of the country’s most respected media organisations, comprising not only the flagship ThisDay but also several other publications, and Arise International TV network. Recognizing the potential importance of digital media, Nduka launched Lekeelekee, the first global social media platform built out of Africa, “blending Tik-Tok, X , WhatsApp into a culturally aligned , mobile-first experience for African and the diaspora.” Users say Lekeelekee is fun and easy to use.
In this growing communications empire, ThisDay has a reputation for thorough, accurate, and well-written journalism, setting standards for politics, economy, business and society reporting. Through this paper, Nduka gave this country its first all-color newspaper. In 1998, the Nigerian Guild of Editors gave him an award in recognition of his transformative contributions to journalism and media in the country.
Arise continues to grow in size and reputation with a tradition of being a watchdog for misdeeds by politicians and aggressive interviewing techniques that have become a subject of discussion among communications scholars and practitioners. Nduka must be credited with a rare ability to create and manage this world class media empire and in the people he choses to run it, the choice of a top flight management team, and a willingness on his part to support the staff in and out of office, even when pressured to do otherwise.
In addition to being publisher, Nduka has led the Newspaper Proprietors Association of Nigeria, NPAN and is a patron of the Nigerian Press Organization, NPO, after leading it as president, giving him, overall, a latitude of authority, wealth, financial power, social privilege, and outstanding public respect.
Today, I am mourning the sudden death of my decades-long friend, Dotun Oladipo, publisher of Nigeria's largest and most authoritative online newspaper, The Eagleonline. He was a valued friend whose commitment to journalism had very few parallels. He was blessed with good conduct, wit, and charisma.
RIP, Dotun.
My dear brother, thank you for your kind words. It has been a privilege watching your journey over the years and seeing you grow into the role you now occupy.
The task ahead is indeed demanding, but I am confident in your ability to deliver. You have my best wishes, prayers and support. Go forth and make us proud.
I want to take a moment to acknowledge my boss and elder Mallam Garba Shehu @GarShehu
We have worked together across several election cycles, dating back to the 2014/2015 presidential election when I served as his deputy. Over the years, I've learned a great deal from watching how he operates, and I value the guidance he's consistently offered.
I have recently been appointed as a spokesperson for the President Tinubu campaign re-election. Mallam Garba has reached out and wished me well. He has offered his support, a gesture I deeply appreciate, especially knowing the work ahead won't be easy and his experience would be invaluable.
Grateful for the years of guidance, my dearest Mallam Garba
Where is Professor Amupitan?
I don't know him, and we never met.
I have no reason to wish to meet him, either. When they nominated him as the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, the nation received the shocking disclosure of his 2020 legal brief to the international community in which he claimed that the violence in the country was a Muslim pogrom against Christians.
The violence affected and still affects followers of all religions and speakers of every language.
For this reason, I, among many others, felt bad about the assertion he made and assumed that he was not a good choice for that office. This country's elections had incrementally got better with each new leadership.
Professor Jega gave the nation its best election since the disputed June 12, 1993, that produced Chief MKO Abiola, now recognised as a duly elected president who did not, however, take the office.
Professor Mahmud Yakubu did the impossible by rallying the civil society, CSOs, and local and foreign observers to approve all his elections.
Not one election under him was ever rejected by any serious observer or CSO.
Now, look at what has just happened in Osun state. Under Amupitan's leadership, the country has attained a transparent electoral process.
Everyone - civil society, the EU, local and foreign observers are commending this standout performance, praising the exceptional skill and determination to improve the process as manifested by INEC's seamless uploading of the governorship election results to its IReV.
With all the loud acclaim that followed, however, I have been asking myself, where is the captain of the ship, Professor Amupitan?
He hasn't picked the microphone, 48 hours hence, or appeared before the TV cameras to proudly show off the success. Where is he?
We are a country of wilful behaviour, chest beating public officials who are proudly and aggressively proclaiming success without achieving half of what we are talking about here. Where is he?
We are not used to seeing this kind of humility, patience, and restraint. Isn't it fair that the man should come out of his shell and dance to the drums in celebration?
Today, I paid a condolence visit to the man who led us in winning the 2015 and 2019 general elections as DG, HE Rotimi Amaechi, following the demise of his mother, Mrs Mary Amaechi who passed away at the age of 89.
May God give him the strength to bear the loss.
Garba Shehu retweeted
President @officialABAT has said the life and legacy of the late former President @MBuhari has continued to speak to Nigeria, saying his transformation from military ruler to civilian democrat marked him out as a rare figure in the nation’s history.
He urged political leaders and public officials to emulate the late former President by upholding the values of honesty, simplicity and self-discipline in the discharge of their responsibilities.
Speaking on Monday in Abuja during a prayer session marking the first anniversary of @MBuhari’s death, the Nigerian leader, who was represented by his deputy, Vice President @KashimSM, described the late Buhari as a patriot whose service, character and devotion to the country left an enduring imprint on the nation’s conscience.
According to the President, @MBuhari’s legacy went beyond the offices he occupied, reflecting a lifetime of consistency between his words, principles and personal conduct.
“President @MBuhari gave everything he had to this country, and he gave it without reservation. He served with courage, with conviction, and with a patriotism that never asked what the nation could return to him,” he said.
THE IMAM, TOO, MUST CROSSCHECK HIS FACTS
It is widely believed in the Muslim world (and even among non-followers of the religion) that the rise of the digital media has exposed Islam in its true form and meaning directly to the world, through Islamic scholars, lectures, personal testimonies and translations of the Qur’an that people can access with few clicks, after centuries of sometimes deliberate misrepresentation of the religion.
The timing and speed of these technological changes have made for easy availability of information about the religion, breaking down the wall of ignorance and replacing wrong assumptions with knowledge.
The fall side of this is that the internet has equally become a tool in the hands of some individuals, abusing the opportunity it offers of the unrestricted to spread false information to captive audiences, eroding further, our civic and institutional sanity.
An otherwise great scholar and a respected Imam (prayer leader/preacher) paraded by the very laudable Sunnah Television gave an unbearable shock to many of his admirers including me, by making catastrophic remarks that seemed to vandalize his own reputation; remarks one would describe as misleading, incorrect and misplaced on the issues of security and public concern without checking his facts.
In an hour long preaching between 1:00 a.m to 2:00 a.m on Saturday 15th March, he made untrue and inaccurate claims, among which were:
Democracy as a system of government is designed to protect crime, illegal acts, or things that are morally wrong and to, on the other hand, antagonize people who are law-abiding. He claimed that the last time anyone was punished for banditry and terrorism in the country was under the military. This is contrary to the facts on the ground, given the thousands of trials and convictions that have been witnessed over the past few years under this democracy. These would include the life sentence of separatist leader Nnamdi Kanu in 2025 and the conviction of ISWAP members and Boko Haram financiers. By 2023, there were 860 convictions in about eight years.
He claimed that under democratic control, terrorists such as the notorious Turji in Zamfara forests who kill, cannot in turn be killed because the authorities fear sanctions by the international community over their concerns for human rights, meaning, supposedly, that only a military rule can tackle the problem.
Records are there to show that the Nigerian military has killed numerous high-ranking terrorist commanders during its long-running operations against Boko Haram and the Islamic State West of Africa Province (ISWAP).
He made the wrong claim that President Jonathan bought fighter jets but was not allowed to use them against terrorists. I think he meant to say under the Buhari administration because the Jonathan administration he referred to was under a sanctions regime, so they were not allowed to buy those aircraft he was referring to. Truth is that President Buhari, not Jonathan, bought the Super Tucanoes from the US following the lifting that embargo. The conditions for the sale included that they must be used against terrorists in the Northeast only, and were not for use anywhere, including their use against the murderous bandits in the Northwest and other parts of the country who were not, initially, branded as terrorists. To get over the hurdle, the then administration, using the law, classified the bandits as terrorists paving, thereby a way for the lawful use of the bombers against the non-state actors……..
…… My advice is that citizens stay calm, record screen-grabs, and report incidents of misleading information and false rhetoric first to the station owners for them to activate their internal controls. After all, regulation is not censorship. Where this fails, they may report to the regulator of broadcasting in Nigeria, the National Broadcasting Commission, NBC. Nigeria’s democracy had never been high quality. But it is, nonetheless, better than an army dictatorship, no matter how benevolent.
