Statesmanship and the Nigeria Emperors

The trauma of having to read news from Nigeria and the scenery of the drama involved on daily basis is very upsetting and challenging at the same time. The frivolity and flippancy with which certain characters are misrepresented, or better put, the mannerism with which we adopt certain puritan language for misfits and roguish personalities at the expense of the very noble qualifications or connotations of such words is of utmost concern for the wide readers and international viewership on Nigeria. It is oxymoronic to grand-represent a shady character with an accolade of a gentleman, so also it is preposterous to identify a rascal with the words of grace. Our waggish and facetious usage of words like ‘Statesman’ is confusing enough to suggest we all go back and see what contents such langua...

I am a member of Southern Kaduna coalition of Muslim victims of the post-election violence. We have made our case to the FG and to the Kaduna state judicial commission of inquiry before we withdrew the same. We are waiting for the conclusion of the investigation, issuance of the report and the white paper. We cannot take the law into our hands when we are waiting for justice as the victims. Some the so-called attempts at reprisal are fabricated because guilty conscience needs no accuser. Haven murdered people in cold blood in hundreds, over one thousand they knew that there are repercussions and these repercussions will definitly come sooner or later. So they are fabricating some to cry wolf where there is none. (more…)
