First letter to my President
You shall live long sir. You will leave positive legacies that will entrench you in the hearts of men and long after you are gone , you will yet live. God bless you sir.
I write to you not in the manner of Obasanjo to Jonathan. My heart is clean.
The Boko Haram war: The Nigerian Army and Amnesty International
It is difficult to know what the military means by ‘concocted’.
But since ‘tactical withdrawal’ can mean soldiers turning their backs on the scrawny rabid dogs of Boko Haram and fleeing to ‘refugee’ camps in Cameroun , ‘concocted’ must have some other ‘military’ meaning.
Rape and Abortion and the Society
Integrity – principled consistency, is a cherished value but it has a high price tag.
Some situations come to test the moral positions of people. A most unwanted pregnancy in a raped and psychologically shattered young teenage girl will test the conviction of many who consider abortion of the fetus at all stages to be murder.
Of Buhari , anti corruption war, punitive populism and hypocrisy
The new president made many promises and politicians routinely make even promises they would not to keep. The public may let him off on some but not on the pledges to rout the boko haram monster and to fight corruption. If there is one fight Buhari must not lose it is the fight to retain public support.
LASTMA is a coherent argument against state police
Any real encounter with Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) officials leaves you with only one impression – area boys in government uniforms. And true to type they stalk, hound and hunt in packs with the ferocity typical of wild cats. Vultures are patient , they circle and feast on carcasses . LASTMA’s preferred mode is more hyena -like. Isolate or entrap one or two confused , naïve or luckless motorists and pounce.
