Surely, if judicial temperament and skill were to be hereditary or sexually transmitted as Mr. Aliyu suggests, this tendency in Nigeria should have had some antiquity. But, among Nigeria’s first eight indigenous CJNs until after Mohammed Uwais who retired in June 2006, only the first, Adetokunbo A...

Bala Usman, the African student in England, did not climb on the shoulders of Karl Marx, Engels or Lenin to see the mountain top of a liberated authentic African nationalism. He came through the clinical writings of FRANTZ FANON, a medical doctor of African ancestry, via the Caribbean. He did not ne...

Thus, by virtue of the preceding Section 1(2) of the Constitution, inaugurating a new President on May 29 while the Court (as the final umpire) is yet to call the final result would mean that persons (or a group of persons) have taken control of the Government of Nigeria in a manner that does not ac...

https://thepolitico.com.ng/gov-zulums-violent-welcome-to-atiku/

I was hoping that given the experience of the violent reception that the Zulum government organized the APC thugs to give Atiku, the police would prevent a violent farewell from the thugs. I was disappointed. The thugs threw stones at us and some of them holding sticks rushed closer to the passing c...

Wike has every right to be angry, but he should have realized that politics is ‘bitch’, particularly in these parts of the world where the major motivation for most politicians is to place themselves advantageously.

Nonetheless, empirical facts support most of Atiku’s claims. Although Peter Obi’s supporters now delight in making silly, irreverent, delusive mockery of “structure,” there’s no example I’ve seen anywhere in the world where someone whose political party has no elected officials at any le...

She laughed and cried. It was a raucous laughter laced with a rheumy sob. For half a decade since she flipped through a journal of trees on her friend’s coffee table in Washington DC, where she lives, Anna Lee had waited for this moment, the moment she could “hug it, kiss it and sit on its protr...

The last bit of evidence that Tinubu will go full-blown Yoruba nationalist if the primaries don’t go his way emerged from the list of favors he said he didn’t ask from Buhari after helping Buhari to ascend to the presidency.

https://thepolitico.com.ng/presidential-zoning-another-paradox-of-national-unity-and-cohesion/

Tribal and regional groups or politicians that threaten national unity if power is not handed over to them on a platter of gold are parochial and do not deserve to lead a diverse nation. The consequence of giving power to them is always disastrous and counterproductive if seeking peace is what the d...

However, a glorified cleric, no less than the Grand Vizier of the iconic Mosque of the nation’s capital, Abuja, has inserted a dissenting voice. The young woman, Deborah, he declared, deserved her death. This mullah, allegedly a man of learning, since his name is professorially captioned, says tha...
