NIGERIANS are in their usual season of lamentation which follows the retirement or removal of an Inspector General of Police, IGP. Like a king whose funeral requires human sacrifices, the exit of a Nigerian IGP also means the exit of the top echelon of the institution.

ISRAELI Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu is in Africa this week soaking in accolades on the fortieth commemoration of the Entebbe Raid. The Entebbe story is the stuff of legends. It was presumably, a humanitarian mission to rescue hostages, save innocent lives and give a bloody nose to the air piracy version of international terrorism.

THERE is no Nigerian I know who is happy with the country’s state of affairs. Every group or nationality complains of marginalisation. Sometimes, the marginalisation beat gets so loud that you will think the drum is about to burst.

THESE are interesting times to live in Nigeria. Senate President, Bukola Saraki and his Deputy, Ike Ekweremadu are hurled before the courts on criminal charges of allegedly forging the Senate Standing Rules 2015.

Which forensic expert can detect the original Rules of the Senate from a forgery if the Senate claims that the latter are its actual rules?
