THE American Secretary of State, Hilary Clinton, on being told that imperialism’s ‘revolutionaries’ organised in the Libyan Transitional Council, NTC, had captured and killed Moammar Gaddafi in Sirte, tried an uneducated re-interpretation of Julius Ceasar’s famous quote: “Veni, vidi, vici”, which translates from Latin to: “I came, I saw, I conquered”.

THE kwata between former Lagos State governor, Bola Tinubu, and the Code of Conduct Bureau appears to be taking a messy turn with the reported snubbing of the VP, Namadi Sambo, who had been on official visit to Osun by Rauf Aregbesola over the PDP’s alleged failure to allow Tinubu’s supporters into the venue of his trial last week. It’s a big fight the ACN insists the PDP is stage-managing for purely political reasons.

DEMOCRACY has therefore not been the project of any Nigerian electoral or military government. In what sense then was Nigerian politics of the Second Republic prebendal? How did Richard Joseph coin the adjective prebendal?

ONE of the areas of serious “infrastructure deficit” (a fine euphemism for infrastructural decay) in Nigeria is in the area of our federal roads. Today, except in Abuja, there is hardly any federal road in any part of the country that is not a national disgrace.

Last week, the first part of this series ended abruptly midway into the title SOURCE OF CHEAP FUNDS. The rest would make no sense published; so permit me to start the section all over. Dele.

God’s wisdom is not common sense, it’s ‘heaven sense.’ Last week, I showed you the avenues for activating the gift of divine wisdom. This week, as I conclude the series, I will be teaching on how you can receive the Spirit of wisdom, in order to be a highflier.

My piece the other week attracted much attention, but sadly, more from older citizens than the young who were being called upon to get sound education and unite to come improve their state of origin.

The on-going trial of some former Governors for corruption while in office is quite thought provoking for what it reveals- that the anti-corruption war in Nigeria is a cyclical unending relay race. Looking at where we are coming from, the situation is no doubt frustrating.

In 2000 Naomi Klein, an award-winning American journalist published a 490-page ‘anti-corporate branding’ book titled ‘No Logo’ in which she exposed a global underworld of a new crop of corporate predators who…

A graduate of English from the Lagos State University, her compassion for the talking and hearing impaired has laid upon her a new goal- to ensure they are shown love and given a sense of belonging…

Everywhere you look, the ruling classes, represented by the ruling party – at all levels – have become the enemies of the people – meaning the nation itself. It has taken over two thousand years for the people of the world to understand that nobody, and I mean nobody, can be trusted with power for too long without breeding corruption…

I joined the Vanguard in September of 1985 (I was 46) and I resigned in 2004, December. I was 65 years. I worked at the Vanguard for 19 years. I had the mind to stay there for nine or ten years, but I ended up spending double the time I had intended…
