If the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) was sick when Professor Ishaq Oloyede was appointed Registrar 10 years ago, it might have been said that even great institutions have their difficult times. That’s not unusual. But JAMB wasn’t sick.

America, or Trump (these days they are interchangeable), fresh from bullying Venezuela, arrogantly thought it could replicate that in Iran. Seeing that Iran had a different chemistry from Venezuela, it devised a more sinister approach. It killed the country’s spiritual leader and a string of its military leaders. It thought the regime would collapse, enabling it to balkanise the country into fragments, making it difficult for them to come together again in a hundred years.

Endgame. A seven-letter word that sounds like the last beat of a drum in a musical piece. Endgame! A word that conjures the image of two Goliaths strutting about, intent on choking the life out of a David. Yet, in this instance, David appears to have pinned the Goliaths to the wall. Endgame! A word with two seemingly contradictory meanings: a game and an end. A loaded word that promises a finale, the fulfilment of an ultimate goal or the culmination of a long-term plan.

This has been the toughest birthday tribute I have attempted to scribble. A lot of wonderful things have been penned about Bart Nnaji whose birthday both Nigerians from all walks of life and foreigners we are celebrating this weekend in Enugu, and they are true. He is absolutely a wonderful person, near superhuman. World-class achievers are like that, except that many are not as caring and humane and generous and egalitarian as he is.

South Africa has been crowned the world's most generous nation for everyday kindness, empathy, and emotional support. But a fierce debate is raging across social media: is the spirit of Ubuntu—the profound African philosophy of shared humanity—still alive, or is it "on pause"?

The Three-Month Sprint was initially conceived as a two-part series.
In the first part, I journeyed back to the formative moments that shaped my intellectual vocation, from a chance discovery of Sigmund Freud in the University of Calabar Library to the enduring influence of Edward Said and Antonio Gramsci. The essay explored how a journalist's persistent quest to understand why Nigeria persistently bleeds eventually produced three original frameworks that have now entered global scholarly discourse.

State police might mean safer neighborhoods. But can Nigeria's institutions and shared values hold firm against the centrifugal forces a more decentralized model might unleash?

History is often written not only through elections won or roads commissioned, but through bold ideas that fundamentally alter the trajectory of society. On Wednesday, June 24, 2026, at the serene campus of Godfrey Okoye University, Ugwuomu Nike, Enugu, history found another defining moment.

This is the concluding part of this write-up, originally published on April 25, 2022. Following the publication of parts one and two over the past two weeks, I have revisited this article because its message remains as relevant and timely today as it was when it was first published. Only that it is now: "No one is safe", not only "Nowhere", with generals being killed on the roads (read General Alkali), abducted from their fortified homes (read General Tsafe), or whisked away on highways (read General Rabe), and killed in the bushes, not while on active service or as Prisoners of War (POWs), but as shackled captives.
