I cannot help but laugh when I hear Obasanjo and some of our leaders complain that our system of Justice is rather slow, and there is nothing they can do about it. Can you imagine President Bush giving Americans such excuses as his reasons not to immediately declare war on Al Qaeda, following the traumatic event of 9/11?
June 12, 1993 was that almost impossible day in the horizon of a country that had been written off as a colonially-induced tragedy of the worst kind; a date that happened, as they say in football, against the run of play…
The word lobby is a notion commonly used among politicians or in political discourses. The process of actualizing lobby is conditioned by various local peculiarities in such a way that those of us who are not members of the legislative or the executive arm of government, are oftentimes confounded…
All powers including scientific, nuclear and even Black or Voodoo power all belong to God without any doubt.

Yet, this current American government could come out with these grossly irresponsible predictions, with its attendant implications, gratuitious insults and all, to our people and government of Nigeria and Nigeria is supposed to accept this in good faith or as a friendly act?
I would certainly not be bothered one bit if I never got to see the wife or concubines of any ruler until the expiration his tenure. We are almost forgetting that the Constitution has no provisions for the so-called office of the First Lady…
