THE GOOD IN GOODBYE
By Femi Adesina
A popular saying tells us that ‘there’s no good in goodbye.’ Really? I’ve been turning it round in my head, and I think there may actually be some good in goodbye. In fact, a lot of good. Let’s go.

TCN AND THE REST OF US: A RESPONSE TO DR BALOGUN
By Professor Fredrick Barde
Like many Nigerians, I was absolutely delighted to read Dr Yemi Balogun’s “Power Management: The Lesson TCN Needs from NAFDAC” published widely in recent days in both traditional and social media. Dr Balogun’s thesis is that regulatory agency officials and other Nigerian government officials should see themselves as private sector business promoters and partners rather than their rivals determined to stop private sector operators by all means possible.

A PEEP INTO HISTORY (2)
By Bolanle Bolawole
Tunde Obadina (where is he?) was one of the columnists of yore that I relished reading, both for his flair and bluntness. I think he was of the National Concord stable. Others were the likes of Lewis Obi and Sina Adedipe (both also of the Concord); Sonala Olumhense of The Guardian, Muyiwa Adetiba of The PUNCH (published here last week) and, of course, Kayode Samuel of the Vanguard. I have not stopped wondering why Kay stopped maintaining a column – and I have told him so. The riposte he fires regularly on Facebook does not, in my view, compensate for the great loss his absence from serious opinion writing has meant to many. Today, I bring readers one of Obadina’s writings that I ferreted out of my library last week. Titled “Reaping what you sow”, it speaks to our situation today as it did decades ago when it was first written. Enjoy it:
