Dear Sir,A careful watch of the drama resulting from the recent presidential election in Cote d’Ívore(Ivory Coast), a sovereign country in West Africa raises more questions than answers.

LIFE largely drives its beneficiaries according to their inclinations. The interrelationship between transcendent life and the finite bits of a person’s inherent idiosyncrasies therefore presents, as well as represents, both the person’s challenges in life and his responses to such stimuli.

THE recent Delta State re-run election and the so-called results it spewed represent the most desperate, absurd and nauseous outing undertaken in politics in recent times. Knowing they were in for complete whitewash, the Ibori boys exercised themselves in what they know best: Crudity. If there is anything unexplainable, this is it.

A FEW months ago, the public attention was called to the irregularity in the appointment of a new Provost of the Federal College of Education, Eha Amufu.

Chief Anthony Enahoro, CFR, was a great Nigerian and African. He was a true patriot and nationalist who put the nation’s interest above his personal interest.

“In Election Petition matters, just in a twinkle of an eye, some Judges become millionaires. In fact, those of us who have passed through the yoke of being judges, what we hear outside shatters us, because they are not just millionaires, as we are told; they are billionaires.

MANY commentators have given their views on the perceived ‘mass resignations’ in the cabinet of Edo State government; while a few hit the bull’s eye, many were definitely off the mark.

OBVIOUSLY shocked by what I called the profusion of lies by the duo of Drs. Arinze Chinweuba and Emeka Nwabunna, who were on air to talk about the crisis they themselves created at the Anambra State University, they did separate rejoinders to my piece. However, the rejoinders were closely knit that you picture the duo as good friends mingling in osmosis of mutual influence.

IT is important to devote time every year toremember our brothers and sisters in uniform who helped us to ensure the world is war-free and perhaps more importantly those who fought to ensure Nigeria remains one, indivisible nation. We can never appreciate them enough because they paid with their lives to ensure we have one united country.

MOREOVER, the economy is so bad that youth could be enticed with money to follow the highest bidder. This could work in otherc limes but not in Nigeria. GEJ and Ribadu share almost same youth enthusiasm if the internet furor is anything to go by. But GEJ looks more of a mainstream politician.

A LOT have been said on the chances of President Goodluck Jonathan and the former Nigeria anti-corruption czar-cum-crime buster, Nuhu Ribadu. For this analysis, I paired these two candidates because both candidates currently receive the highest number of support online and in public arguments over who would lead the country.

THIS piece is provoked not so much by any form of political or social affiliations with the Alei of Aleibiri, but a desire to deflate a balloon of fallacy which now surrounds Ebebi’s contested impeachment.

Although, the Presidential Advisory Council (PAC), came with a counsel, it was a counsel brought after the fact. For President Goodluck Jonathan, there was an urgent need to do something.

GREAT news came from Anambra State on Monday, January17, 2011. The six month-old strike by the Academic and non-Academic Staff Unions in state universities in the South-East was finally called off at Anambra State University, Uli, paving way for the immediate resumption of academic activities.

WITH the conclusion of primary elections in most of the political parties across the country, it is becoming clear to the people who are the candidates of the political parties and what they will be contesting for in the coming general elections.
