In the second series of his three part article the former Central Bank  of Nigeria (CBN) governor and professor emeritus goes for broke. He quickly identifies the need for fiscal federalism, decentralisation of power (to have a weaker center and stronger regions) and the unsustainability of the present system. In essence he argues that if the 1963 constitution was not broken then why fix it? This line of reasoning has its merits and indeed some Nigerians have been quick to praise his erudite propositions.  While I do not deny the sheer audacity of his ideas or the need for change it is vital that we all understand what he means by "competitive federalism, multi-speed Nigeria and subsidiarity". In a multi-speed Nigeria some regions will definitely be left behind which is true of life. Even kids born in the same family often end up at different destinations. However removing the "feeding bottle" in this case is akin to disowning this child and could mean some ki...

What is the difference between longitudinal and transverse waves?

As usual when an individual who has reached the pinnacle of the triumvirate of academia, politics and business speaks ... it sounds like a thunderclap. Once again Professor Soludo, immediate past Governor of the Nigerian Central Bank, immediate past PDP candidate for governor of Anambra state and current international consultant to several regional and national organisation has spoken. Dont let the ink from his pen bleed! Eat his food for thought but also do the dishes. By Chukwuma Charles Soludo In my 2005 National Democracy Day Lecture, I strongly argued that “for sustainable democracy, fundamental changes are required in the constitution, the electoral system, the fiscal federalism, as well as a gamut of legal-institutional reforms that are developmental and capable of promoting private enterprise and competition”. Seven years later, I feel more strongly about this point, and almost a sense of urgency to it. In the last two years, I have given several lectures o...
