Since the invasion of Igbo geographical entity in South East Nigeria, which has elicited widespread condemnation of the federal government and its military, a lot of government officials including the military have embarked on fire brigade public relations stunts meant to douse the tension they created among Nigerians and the international community with that ill-advised invasion.

Given the unfolding events in our country I believe that this is the time for deep introspection and sobre reflection.

Political governance is the most important factor that affects the stability of a state and spurs citizens to play their complimentary role towards the development of the economy. Therefore, so much is dependent on the political leadership of any given state.

I SEEK the indulgence of readers in my coinage of the word Ambodeism, but one cannot completely explain the phenomenon called Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode, the Governor of Lagos State, until one examines him as a central theme or perspective, projected as strong feeling, combining a mix of economic, political, social, moral and spiritual principles.

I HAVE read with keen interest CFR’s recent African in Transition blog post “The Paradox of Rwanda’s Paul Kagame” about Rwanda and the President of Rwanda. As a citizen of Rwanda, I feel compelled and find it of utmost necessity to reach out and point out the discrepancies in the article and hopefully have them corrected.

This ignorant take by CAN on the eminently sane economic decision to go for SUKUK Bonds to finance Government Projects is so annoying and farcical. What an ignorant outrage! What mischief!

THE resolution of the issue of the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC in Anambra State has come to me and those of us who participated in the party’s primary election with great relief.

GOVERNOR of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Mr. Godwin Emefiele, has identified the Land Use Act of 1978 as the greatest hindrance to the mortgage industry in the country.

THE problem of the world is injustice. No matter how  hard justice is  suppressed, it rears it’s head until it is appeased. It can take decades or even centuries, in the biblical account, it took the Israelites  over four hundred years. Justice  is when affairs of life are handled dispassionately; no favouritism, no sentiment of any kind – be it filial, ethnic or religion – in short, it is doing what is right. The late Alhaji Maitama Sule – God bless his soul – addressing a delegation to President Mohammadu Buhari not too long before his passage noted thus: only justice can resolve Nigeria’s problems. The man stated the obvious. I will advise that the President and his team go back and replay that video. We have not been fortunate to have a leader who will rule with justice – fairness to all – in this country and he told Buhari that if he wants to succeed, he must rule with justice to all. Has Mr President yielded to his advise, in the over two years  that he has been in office? The answer is in the public domain.
