AS With the next general elections approaching rapidly, politicians are becoming desperate to remain relevant in the scheme of things.

THE man, Chief Anthony Eromosele Enahoro, was deservedly a comet. A remarkable man, impassioned, of strong beliefs and dogged energy, was richly endowed with extra-ordinary intellect and long life. He was an admirably powerful figure.

WHILE our stay as undergraduates at the university lasted, we were constantly reminded of two things by this regimented communications professor. One: Don’t be a Robert Mugabe, a Saddam Hussein, a Gnassingbe Eyadema, an Idi Amin, or an IBB when we go into politics. Two: Be a Nelson Mandela, an Abraham Lincoln, or a Bill Clinton when we do.

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.

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.
