Atiku, Soyinka And Other Matters

Ihesiulo Grace 0
Mohammed Adamu The debate is on whether or not there was a ‘server’ and whether –if there was- it had been used for the 2019 elections. And so since the logic of law is both inductive and deductive, it has to be proved first that there was a ‘server’ before the right to ask to […]

Ihesiulo Grace
Azu Ishiekwene If it had been news about the former sports minister who had defiantly sat on $150,000 mistakenly paid into the ministry’s account by the IAAF, I might have found it easier to believe. Never mind Solomon Dalung’s beret and fatigue, his recalcitrance over the miscued money is at odds with his socialist pretensions. […]

On June 12 we stand

Ihesiulo Grace
Reuben Abati It is ironic that it had to take a member of the military establishment now turned democrat, that is General, now President Muhammadu Buhari, for June 12 to be accorded its pride of place in the socio-political calendar of the Federal Government of Nigeria.

Lessons from Suleja’s Royal Gladiators (II)

Ihesiulo Grace
By Mohammed Adamu By now rumors of the rejection of the nominations by the traditional Kingmakers’ Council –as with all previous rumors of State attempts to avoid Bashir Barau and to make Awwal Ibrahim king- had taken the innocence out of the once peaceful Suleja. The major gateway city to the Federal Capital was becoming […]

Forgive Sinners, but Punish Crime

Ihesiulo Grace
By Mohammed Adamu “When lenity and cruelty play for a kingdom”, Shakespeare wrote, “it is the gentler gamester that is the soonest winner”. Nigeria, it appears, is fast becoming a self-harming, ‘lenient’ but ‘cruel’ society whose softness on crimes hardens the hearts of outlaws. A law-governed society, ironically seems more adept at toasting rather than […]
