TUESDAY FLAT OUT OPINION:The Stranger In APC’s Kitchen By Suyi Ayodele   (Published in the Nigerian Tribune on Tuesday, September 22, 2026) https://tribuneonlineng.com/the-stranger-in-apcs-kitchen/ Can a stranger in one’s kitchen chase away the owner of the house? I answer with a resounding YES! History is replete with instances where strangers take over the homesteads of their hosts. The wisest of humanity ever, Orunmila, on three different occasions lost his home to the strangers he took home; some out of pity and the others as apprentices. The West has different laws to describe situations that society cannot explain. In our elementary Economics class, we were taught that the French economist, Anne Robert Jacques Turgot, first propounded the Laws of Diminishing Returns before the duo of David Ricardo and Thomas Malthus expanded it, and made it popular. In Chemistry, they have Charles' Law on Volume, which states that “the volume of a given mass of gas is directly pro...

OPINION: Shehu Sani Tells Truth To His North

Monday Lines 2 OPINION: Shehu Sani Tells Truth To His North By Lasisi Olagunju  (Published in the Nigerian Tribune on Monday, 21 September, 2026).  'Truth Is Trouble' is Professor Niyi Osundare’s latest book. What the poet laureate says in English, we say in another sense in Yoruba: Òótọ́ korò, truth is bitter. Then there is Ayékòótọ́, the name we give the parrot, the irrepressible bird that sees and tells. The name itself carries a verdict on the human condition: Ayé ko òótọ́, the world rejects the truth. Perhaps that is precisely why Osundare insists "truth is trouble." Two months ago, on July 13, 2026, when I wrote ‘Why Oriire was not Chibok’, a professor friend from the North fired me a hot warning: “Unfortunately, my Brother Lasisi, I must be frank with you; you are likely to lose some of your friends if you persist along this your one-man anti-North campaign.” I replied Prof with a laugh, a smile and a rejection of the charge of being anti-anyone. “N...
