No matter how prejudiced you are against the man you cannot fail to apprehend a conscious effort by one man to reason differently, to govern sincerely and to apply systemically

The ‘facts’ I saw in the State of Osun resonated stubbornly with the American novelist J.D. Salinger’s “facts at hand” which he said not only “speak for themselves

And for Buhari, there does not seem to be any let up. Head or tail political hate mongers are determined not only that he does not win, but that in fact he loses

When I informed Musdapher, he was so deeply touched he even rejected the idea of leaving behind an official directive for the poor ‘Judge’ to be reimbursed

Only when Magu’s alleged ‘malicious prosecution’ in the N10 million bribery case, is eventually resolved by court in favour of Justice Umar can the CCT Chairman sue for tort damages

If you ever thought Buhari and Tinubu are like ‘chalk and cheese’, immixable, you are dead wrong. They have always been like ‘gin and lime’ –inseparable

He is one of few Nigerian lawmakers I have met also who does not believe in the utopia of so called ‘independence’ of the arms of government

It is not ‘realpolitik’ to pray that your opponent dies before election. Or to resort to blackmail and subterfuge in the hope of being awarded a walkover-victory

There is no sure foundation set on blood; no certain life achieved by others’ death. In a false quarrel there is no true valor. But in peace there is victory for all. For peace, they say is of the nature of a conquest; for then both parties nobly are subdued and no party loser

The people of the ‘Jordan river’ (or the Canaanites who would be Arabized as the future Palestinians), and the cities and towns of that community of the ‘Jordan river’ had all existed long before the birth of Israel, Israelites, Jews, Judaism, or Judea

Nigeria is not any less a ‘federal system’ than any of the world renowned practitioners of it. It is fundamentally wrong to suggest that a system is not a ‘true federation’ because its two levels of governmental administration are not ‘co-ordinate and independent’ politically or economically

Those who should be angry and tearing down fences, are the ones who are preaching law and the due process of law; yet those who steal our patrimony have not the littlest scruple subverting the law

The plan of God, as one black American Muslim, Tariq Abdallah Al-Mansur, once said was to use the Jews to establish a model community of godly people

Although virtually every invasion or conquer of Palestine was contemporaneous with the invasion and conquer of Jerusalem, it was in 1250 BC precisely that Hebrews or Jews to be precise, from Egypt were said to have set out to begin the earliest conquest of Canaan

The Palestinians had always been where they are –the aboriginals of Canaan long before Israel, Judea or even Arabia were born. And so the question is asked: ‘who is taking the land from who today?’ Is it the one who had come much later in time or the who had been there right from time?
