A FEW years ago when I interviewed Maj-Gen. Muhammadu Buhari for the Chinua Achebe Foundation dialogue series, I discovered a man millions of Nigerians never knew.

GENERAL Danjuma’s view made on the current security situation in Nigeria on the occasion of the 50th birthday celebration of the publisher of The Leadership, Mr. Sam Nda Isaiah in Abuja, is a summary description.

What a bizarre headline for a sports column. I owe you an explanation. As you are reading this, the victorious U-20 Women National team are less than six hours away from touch down at the Abuja Airport, on board Ethiopian Airlines from the Democratic Republic of Congo.

I AM a great fan of wildlife documentaries. The crisis in the Judiciary involving erstwhile President of the Court of Appeal, Justice Ayo Isa Salami and retired Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN) Aloysius Katsina Alu, reminds me of an animal that strays into a deep mire, marsh or bog.

“0803-301-9018 Sir Uduaghan has no clue about governance. He mouths a 3 point agenda which has gone nowhere for 5 years. His only agenda was and still to cover up thieving of our commonwealth by Ibori and their clan. Pls ask them how much they have spent on the airport so far.

Over the years, the unyielding price of fuel products in Nigeria has instigated much acrimony between the government on one side and Labour and the people on the other. Fuel prices have risen steadily from less then 50kobo/litre to the current subsidized price of N97/litre; every government, be it military or civilian, has one time or the other had to contend with the threat or indeed a successful call for strike by Labour.

If there’s one thing that has been lacking in our national character, it’s consistently having people in decision-making positions, who can speak up for the country, to ensure that we’re respected and treated fairly and with dignity.

“Love is stronger than death even though it can’t stop death from happening, but no matter how hard death tries it can’t separate people from love. It can’t take away our memories either. In the end, life is stronger than death.” -Mahatma Gandhi

Faith in anything takes a tremendous amount of willpower. Faith is the soil on which hope is cultivated and where both forces are present they can be harnessed to do the hitherto impossible. Contrary to popular perception believing everything will fail is in itself an act of faith if we take as true that what we believe we will receive.

I wrote a book entitled; Why Christians Won’t Go to Heaven. Some Christians complained my book is too absolu-te. They said I should have written: “Why Some Christians Won’t Go to Heaven.” No, I replied. I mean no Christian will go to heaven. Christ-ianity is not a criterion for heaven. Last week, I wrote an article entitled “Christians Make Terri-ble Husbands.” Some self-righteous Christian husbands shot back saying I should have said: “Some Christians Make Terrible Husb-ands.” No! No! No! I mean “all Christian hus-bands.”
