Danladi Umar: Is Tinubu aware of the plot against CCT Chairman?

attempts to forcibly remove the Chairman of the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT), Justice Danladi Yakubu Umar, are profoundly troubling and raise serious concerns about the independence of our key democratic institutions.
Global Perspective

That Coup in the North and the Federation Account

Despite efforts by NSA Nuhu Ribadu, CDS Gen. Chris Musa, Information Minister Idris Malagi, and others to contain the recent hunger protest, there are concerns that future agitations may be spontaneous and unpredictable, catching authorities off guard.

Monopolistic Oligarchies: The Tale of Dangote of Nigeria and Ambani of India

The painful irony is the deliberate demarketing of the Dangote brand by his brethren from the North, working as regulators, after Southerners had provided him with an enabling environment for the business

The fear grips me
Deep-deep down my marrow
The Culprit?
A cassock deliverer confronts me
No-no-no I am a fair player – a lover
Gaitily I move closer
She groans still in horror
But curse nobody, not even me
I hear push-push-push
I say push-push-push
Oh-oh I share in the sorrow
But only her, only the sacrificial lamb
I pray-pray till tears fail me
My manliness and visage betray me
The contraction must be over
My muscle twisted, the legs trembled
Then like a rainbow he bolted out with his
Ear-piercing shrieks from the butcher’s slab
My majestic African prince from the womb
Yes-yes I am the victor, macho man
Of responsible men’s club
An automatic PTA member
I swagger in fantasy
The honeymoon must go on
For now and the future
Until the arrival of a full team
To honour my sacrificial lamb

This poem by Yushau A. Shuaib was written on the birth of his first child on March 29, 1996
