War is messy and never fails to spread responsive misery. When Adolf Hitler asked for safe passage to East Prussia through the Polish corridor and also for the occupied port of Danzig, not many could have imagined that it would spiral into a world war that would cost 85 million lives and leave an unspeakable trail of devastation in its wake.

Now that the President, Major-General Muhammadu Buhari (retired), has signed the Electoral Bill into law, it remains to be seen whether the new law will be the cure-all solution to the country’s electoral or election problems. But for intense public pressure, Buhari would most likely not have signed for the umpteenth time. What this shows is that Frederick Douglass is right when he posited that the people must fight for whatever freedom or rights they desire from their rulers.

In spite of misgivings and low marks of the political class today, there are still men and women of honour and integrity that could be singled out in terms of moral uprightness and accomplishments over the years.

Wow! I can't find the words to express my joy. I turned 60 on the 19th of February last year. My family had planned to celebrate my 60th birthday in a big way but the Covid 19 pandemic got in the way.

Attention:

1. All Drug Procurement Syndicates
2. All Drug Courier Syndicates
3. All Drug Distribution Syndicates
4. All Local Drug Merchandising Syndicates
5. All Members of Drug Cartels Operating in Nigeria

I felt compelled to write to apprise you of the exponential and steady spike in the number of people arrested for drug trafficking-related offences; the rising frequency of illicit drug seizures across the country, which I am sure you are finding difficult to comprehend; and the renewed anti-drug effort in Nigeria, which has already had a bloody impact on the Nigerian illicit drug trade.

Celebrated English writer, William Shakespeare, said all's well that ends well; so it is with the Olubadan chieftaincy succession row now that the impasse that submerged the age-old succession process has been broken – seemingly!
