I wish to begin by thanking God Almighty for answering the prayers of the Nigerian masses and granting their wish in making their saviour, President Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR, our president in the 2015 general elections.

THE recent Supreme Court judgement which pontificated that the Code of Conduct Tribunal, CCT has the requisite jurisdiction to try the President of the Senate, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki, on allegations of false asset declaration has effectively positioned the Kwara-born politician in the eyes of the storm.

ASHABI jumped deftly aboard the large bus that was just coasting to a stop at Oshodi, managing to unsteadily balance a tray of beef rolls in one hand and hung on for dear life to the bus’ doors as passengers struggled to alight from it. She is eleven years old, and the time was few minutes away from 10pm.

Every country that relies on oil for the majority of its revenues is going through plenty of pain right now. So what is everyone else doing and how does it compare with the response that Nigeria has chosen?

THIS elastic agitation for the illusion called Biafara is rapidly snowballing into a painful anathema. But must this grow unguardedly or a final stop should be put to it? We fought a civil war which was decisively concluded with an agreement of “no victor, no vanquished”. That was universally acclaimed as magnanimous at the time. Nigerians of both “divide” then easily came together and assumed the worst was over.
