THIS week’s column should be seen as one piece with last week’s talking point entitled, ‘Some thoughts for the Nigerian child’. In other words, today’s discussion is, for me, a continuation of last week’s discourse which aimed to take a stand for the younger elements of our society, especially school-age children and the trained youth without much prospect in a Nigeria that is programmed against them.

Owing to the growth in population, the parish constable and the watch systems failed completely. The aftermath of this development was that conditions generally became intolerable leading to the formation of a new police.

The greatest trick politicians pulled was to make Nigerians believe that we are each other’s enemies or that one group is responsible for another’s backwardness or lack of opportunity

I SHOULD have been having a belly laugh by now but for the tragic occurrence that the All Progressives Congress APC, just set up a committee headed by an opponent of the concept, Mallam Nasir El Rufai, to define what the all important demand in Nigeria today, restructuring, means? I thought the party should just have bought a copy of Chambers dictionary to check the meaning of the word instead of setting up this needless committee which at best is a mockery. Or has Mallam Shekau mopped the bookshops to give practical effect to Boko Haram?

THE National Legal Adviser of the All Progressives Party APC, was in the news in the past few weeks for standing up to the Lagos hegemony like a real man with good balls and eyeball -to -eyeball. He has attracted condemnations from some quarters with some of the political slaves he is trying to liberate forming what he called “rented crowds” pounding the streets and demanding his expulsion from their party.
