I RECEIVED a phone call on September 16, 2015 from someone who turned out to be  Joe Ayonmike. He was commenting on my article of that day titled Britain at Sunset. He said he usually picked a thing or two from my columns, but on this day, I used a word he had never heard  before: morganatic. He jokingly said he prides himself as  attending the best schools, including one of the best universities in the world; the London School of Economics and Political Science, LSE, and lived in England, so was surprised to come across an English word he never knew existed. He asked the school I attended. I replied: “Araromi Baptist School, Lagos and Methodist Boys’ High School, Lagos.” “University?” “Ife.” He joked: “So you never schooled abroad and are teaching those of us who did.”  We laughed.

As the wind of democracy keeps blowing across Nigeria, one needs to take a  critical look of what democracy as a word stands  for.

Intimidation, desperation and ignorance of the Party’s supremacy at all times were on Friday displayed by supporters of a House of Assembly  aspirant for Anambra east, Barr.Obi Nweke(Elegelede). At the meeting held at Tourist Hotel Aguleri, caution was thrown to the wind as the organisers took turns to lambaste  His Excellency, Governor Willie Obiano and APGA publicly.
