THERE is a caveat here. This article is for open-minded readers; it is not for those looking for write-ups to play dirty politics against their (political) enemies. It may be (rightly/wrongly) perceived as political but we are watchers that observe, not politicians in, Nigeria’s murky political waters. This is a vital intervention because Nigerian politics and the resulting state have been captured by a few. This capturing is surreptitiously wished for by politicians anywhere, except for the difference in levels of consciously installed and reinforced organic capacity and capability to significantly prevent it in different places. The seemingly ‘successful’ intention…

Amotekun is a very good initiative. Kudos to the initiators. Amotekun in Ekiti and South West have carried out many successful operations in the past at great risks. They have arrested criminals and even terrorists hideouts they have raided and made arrests. I can’t imagine the South West without Amotekun. Amotekun response to Ikere robbery must have been informed by police failure to promptly addtess distress calls. May God bless the…

With the ongoing chaos in both lawful and illegal immigration in the UK, we are left asking the question: does anyone really care at the Home Office or in the Conservative government? So chaotic is the situation that the Government has split the role of immigration minister into two ministers, one for legal and another for illegal immigration. Let’s examine the lawful situation first. In four separate general elections the Tory party promised to bring down legal immigration numbers. Yet post…
