A friend recently asked me about Nigeria and “what’s going on.” He was shivering in the cold weather to which the Eastern coast of the United States, particularly, is subject at this time of the year.

NO doubt, the late Dr Moses Adekoyejo Majekodunmi, who died on Wednesday at age 95, was an accomplished medical practitioner. Although, he devoted about 89 years of his life to medicine, his six- year stint in politics appeared to have entrenched him more in the consciouness of Nigerians.

The downside of my day job is that when things get intense that make-believe world can become my reality and other than close family members and their needs (oh my kids are guaranteed to bring me down to terra firma with a bump!) very little else penetrates.

THE great debate is on. It has something to do with the political stability of our great country – Nigeria. Every Nigerian is expected to join in the search for that golden greatness, which has eluded the country. It may be pertinent to ask, what are we searching for?

It was a short but moving speech, one that made many flash back to the days when local sports commanded so much passion and made Nigerians proud of what they had.

FOR some time now, thieves have invaded the privacy of the police by going to cart away, a large part of the money meant for taking care of the old men and women who had helped to catch thieves in years past. We are also informed that the thieving of the police money could be the handiwork of people closely related to them.

OBASANJO is quite personable- much of the time-and…like most rulers, he desperately wanted to be accepted as a political and economic strategist, and thinker…our hero represented a model of power of an unusual-and dangerous- kind, most especially as he remains basically insecure, and thus pathologically in need of proving himself-preferably at the expense of others.

THE Nigeria Police have in the last few weeks been ‘test running’ the proposed uniform for their personnel. The camouflage uniform which was unveiled by the IG, M.D. Abubakar in the second week of March will, when and if it is finally approved, become one of a couple of uniforms to be used by members of the Police Force in their operations.

FORMER President Olusegun Obasanjo and Chairman, Board of Trustees of the People Democratic Party (PDP) made a turn on his celebrated political route, and has left the nation guessing and following with intense interest.

WE run an executive driven government and this is why unconstitutional change of the executive government is followed by constitutional retooling of the political system. In this process, the legislative and judicial branches offer no barrier to unconstitutional change of government.
