SHOCKER: Sunday Dare Slams Pat Utomi, Says His Intellectualism Is “Hollow and Overrated”
During an interview on Arise News on Sunday, April 26, 2026, Nigerian public official Sunday Dare made strong remarks about renowned economist Pat Utomi, describing him in highly critical terms.
The conversation, which touched on economic policy and public discourse, took a sharp turn when Dare openly questioned Utomi’s intellectual credibility and contributions.
In his statement, Dare did not hold back, saying, “I called Pat Utomi a buccaneer economist, his intellectualism is hollow.” This comment suggests that he views Utomi’s economic ideas as lacking depth and substance, despite the latter’s
longstanding reputation as a scholar and policy advocate. Dare’s use of the term “buccaneer economist” implies a perception that Utomi operates in an unorthodox or perhaps opportunistic manner within the field of economics.
The remarks have sparked attention, as both figures are influential voices in Nigeria’s socio-economic space. While Utomi is widely respected for his academic background and policy engagement, Dare’s criticism introduces a contrasting perspective that challenges that reputation.
Favor As Higher Power?
(The hidden truth)
Some positions in life cannot be held or retained for long if you are not favored. Favor is higher power. You are not the only one desiring, deserving, connected, powerful or qualified. Some positions in life, opportunities, success, achievements, triumphs, selection, approvals, power and position, elevation, patronage, etc, are mainly through favor. Favor is silent, spiritual and higher power. For spiritual guidance, other solutions, call/Whatsapp Dr J.A. Faros on 07030514063. With God, all are possible.
