Even non-legal practitioners know that a state high court cannot give a consequential order to a federal agency like the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). Any serious action which involves a federal agency must go to the Federal High Court, not State High Court.

The social media seems to have caught and brought a new victim to its 'sacred' altar in Distinguished Senator James Manager of Delta South senatorial district. A picture of him, kneeling before former governor James Onanefe Ibori has virally circulated. And as usual, before the libation is poured, the victim is charged to the court of public opinion, where sentiments and emotions wield the gavel. Thus, his case has been adjudicated upon in the last five days.

Over the course of countless centuries, much before the advent of Christianity, Ndigbo had tried to maintain a good public image as a people cradled in moderation, modesty, and rational frugality. This was evident in the way and manner they organized and hosted social functions. Emphasis is placed more on the subject of the occasion than on its side attractions and frivolities.

At the return to democracy in 1999, the federal government under former President Obasanjo was bent on redefining our global image, reorientating our psychosocial spirality, and re-engineering our national order.

Where are our investigative reporters? Where are our development researchers? One thing we need to find out now is how much the sinkhole called ‘frontier basin development’ has gulped in the last 5, 10, 15, 20 years.

"Sports do not build character; they reveal it." - Heywood Broun.

The 1993/94 squad of the Super Eagles of Nigeria remains the most famous and illustrious in the anals of our national sports history. No set has surpassed their heroism so far. Not even the then golden boys of 1993 under-17 world cup, and the dream team that won gold at the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta Georgia could compare with them.

A worrying trend that may have contributed to fostering the strained socio-political situation in the country is the prevalent activities of faceless persons whose intentions are clearly anything but altruistic. While some of them may masquerade as victims of the public service or as social crusaders, their real intentions are to drag institutions of state and their functionaries into disrepute.
