Comrade (Dr.) Segun Osoba - remember him? He celebrated his 90th birthday last week Thursday at his country home of Ijebu-Ode, Ogun state. Family, friends, comrades and students of the Marxist ideologue gathered to give him 90 hearty cheers.

When I asked the rhetorical question: “Are Yoruba the ‘problem’ with Nigeria?”, more responders answered “No” than “Yes”. Many said Nigeria, indeed, was - and still is - the problem with the Yoruba - a cog in the wheel of its progress!
