About two months ago, one of the regular readers of this page asked me if President Jonathan’s ‘humility’ was not sufficient reason to give the man a second look. In a three part series, I dismissed humility as an attribute expected of great leaders.

The most difficult decision people sometimes have to make is not between “totally right” and “absolutely wrong.” However, the individual determines what is “right” or “wrong,” anybody who can be regarded as well-adjusted and who is not corrupted or under duress can generally decide to support the “right” and resist the “wrong.” The most difficult choices involve two “rights” or two “wrongs.”

In a true democracy, where the separation of powers between the Executive, the legislature and the judiciary is firmly entrenched, the President has no business interfering with the selection of the officers of the legislature.

In the war between the Nigeria Police and terrorists, whether Boko Haram or others, there is only one side to take for any patriotic citizen of this country. I am siding firmly with the police because the others aim to dominate us against our will; but not the police. And, you better join too; because this is a struggle for the soul of our country.

June 16, 2011, will again enter my short list of days to remember; it was a Thursday – a black Thursday for Nigeria. It was our own equivalent of the Al Qeda attack on the United States on September 11, 2001. To most Nigerians, it would only be remembered as the day the Police Headquarters in Abuja, the Louis Edet House, was bombed by Boko Haram muslim sect.
