By Tunde Akanni The history of the Nigerian press is often told through the mastheads of its most formidable institutions, but its soul is found in the men who steered those ships through the turbulent waters of the 1980s and 1990s. Among these titans, Mr. Lade Bonuola, affectionately known to many as Ladbone, occupies a pedestal of unique distinction.As Baba…

By Ehichioya Ezomon Delusion of grandeur (or grandiose delusion) is defined by Google as a fixed, false belief that you possess extraordinary power, wealth, fame, superior intelligence, or a divine connection that completely contradicts reality. With key characteristics of unshakable belief, the conviction remains rigid even when presented with clear evidence that proves it wrong. Besides a disconnection from reality…

*Okiki Conference to equip secondary school prefects with leadership skills, integrity and a spirit of service Book Fever, a youth focused organisation committed to promoting education, literacy, leadership development and personal growth among young Nigerians, is set to host the 2026 National Prefectship Conference, an initiative designed to transform how secondary school students understand and practise leadership. Scheduled for Friday, October 23, 2026, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Sam Shonibare Community Centre, Surulere, Lagos, the conference will bring together secondary school prefects, emerging student leaders, educators and other stakeholders for a day of leadership development, mentorship and knowledge sharing. With the theme “Champions of Excellence,” the conference aims to equip young people with the values, competencies and mindset required to become responsible leaders in their schools and communities. According to the Founder and CEO of Book Fever Bookstore, Ms. Alero Okiki, this year’s conference is designed to redefine the concept of prefectship in Nigerian secondary schools. She noted that the 2026 edition features significant improvements to its programme, distinguishing it from previous editions. “For many students, becoming a prefect represents their first formal leadership position. However, at Book Fever, we believe that the significance of that position goes far beyond wearing a badge or holding a title,” Okiki said. She added that prefectship should be more than a position; it should serve as a leadership laboratory. “It is one of the earliest opportunities young people have to understand responsibility, accountability, service and the impact of their decisions on others,” she said. Organised around the belief that tomorrow’s leaders must be intentionally developed today, the conference will provide a platform for participants to learn from accomplished professionals, engage in meaningful conversations and acquire practical skills that extend beyond the classroom. The Project Manager of Book Fever Bookstore, Franklin Odibo, emphasised the importance of developing leadership skills from secondary school, describing early leadership education as a potential pathway to addressing the leadership deficit in the country’s corridors of power. Odibo disclosed that the 2026 conference will feature keynote presentations, interactive sessions, leadership conversations, practical workshops, mentorship opportunities and engagements with distinguished leaders and professionals across various sectors. …
