Babatunde Raji Fashola has responded to everyone who still criticizes President Muhammadu Buhari for taking forever to name his cabinet. Inaugurated president in May of 2015, Buhari only revealed his ministers and their portfolios in November, as Nigerians railed and wailed against the delay. Economic pundits partly blame the delay for why Nigeria headed into a recession as soon as Buhari assumed the reins, with investors waiting for policy direction from the new president before deciding whether to hedge their bets on Nigeria or not. Speaking on Toyosi Akerele-Ogunsuji’s TheSheetTV, Fashola said forming a cabinet is hard work as he…

Asked in Pidgin English why the 81 kilometer Lagos-Abeokuta expressway hasn’t been completed, Fashola hit back in Pidgin, saying all Obasanjo knows how to do is write letters. “First of all, we have started work. Some…

Nobody at Manchester United wants the club to be like it is now. Not Ed Woodward, busy with agents who represent some very fine footballers. Not the staff, many of whom are United fans from Manchester and just want their club to start punching its weight again. Not Jose Mourinho, who defends himself and his excellent historical record against his many detractors — or “lovers” as he calls them. Not the players who are seeing their reputations damaged by being so average in relation to their vast salaries and the expectations placed upon them. Nor the fans who’ve been bored…
