NIGERIA CANNOT DEFEAT THE IGBO AND YORUBA AT THE SAME TIME:

The greatest thing Nigerians accomplished in the last thirty years was electing Muhammadu Buhari as president. If he had lived and died without being president, no one would push back when politicians fall over...

themselves to deliver tributes and call him the greatest president that Nigeria never had.
After six years of Buhari’s administration and with only two more years to go, all is settled about the rhymes and stanzas of Buhari’s elegy.

Some thirty years from now, people will stone anyone who attaches “greatest ” to any tribute at Buhari’s funeral.

You may ask if anything is worth the cost of having Buhari as president?

He who fears to fight because he's not sure of winning is not worthy to live. Note that the fight will still be brought to him when his fears are fully revealed to his enemies.

While we do not subscribe to war as a way to avoid further intimidation, we must not be afraid to defend our territory if invaders bring the fight. If we can't gain grounds, we must not lose grounds.

Aburi ghost, Asaba secessionists and waffles in high places.

When you listen to Nigeria’s Senate President, Ahmed Lawan’s skewed submission on southern governors’ meeting in Asaba, last week, you'll realise that people in high places too are not immune from marketplace waffles.

Miniature logic can proceed from the minds of huge, prarchute-like babanriga wearers after all. More importantly, from the tragic Lawan ill-logics, the much-talked-about January 1967 Aburi Accord will present to you as the quintessential Julius Caesar’s ghost promising to meet...

its nemesis at Philippi. Finally, you will find out that Nigeria is trapped inside this pit being because it lacks critically thinking leaders.

1. Our Governors in the South deserve the gratitude of all of us their people for hurrying to hold a meeting on the terrible insecurity that is ravaging all the peoples of the South.

We their people should commend them for the considerable amount of bravery that they have shown in their communique. In particular, it gladdens the heart that our Governors now have the courage to decide to eliminate open grazing of cattle in all parts of the South.

That is a historic decision of great significance. So, we their people are looking forward to two things now concerning that decision; first, what are the processes by which the Governors intend to carry out this decision,...
