AN IMPOSTER AND USURPER:

Once upon a time in a faraway land, there lived a king who hijacked the stool. It happened that the throne was vacant and all the heirs began to joust for the grand stool. A particular parvenu in the land who had no known link to royalty nor to the kingdom for that matter, jumped into the ring.

Tunji – T.J for short- had always seen a bright future for himself in Nigeria. Not even SAPA could make him JAPA. He knew where he wanted to go and had a map even Google would be proud of, of how he’d get to his destination. So, while all his friends and peers were testing the waters of cybercrime and considering yahoo-plus and its gory gruesome details, T.J had his eyes peeled for how he’d move from his ‘near Lagos’ Boys Quarters’ apartment to Ikoyi, Lagos. Yes, you heard that right; from extreme poverty to the five-star neighbourhood. How? He was going to find himself a rich man with a single-and searching daughter. Lucky T.J, he got both in one fell swoop. He found both a rich man and his single-and searching daughter.

It's been four months since President Bola Ahmed Tinubu took office; in that interval, he has spoken and acted on a variety of issues. He has removed fuel subsidy and has brutally devalued the Naira, both policies with dire consequences for all and sundry. He has fired; he has also hired. He has made his first trip overseas as president and both the United Nations and the United States’ president are eagerly waiting to receive him. But we are yet to hear from him on the unsettled business of ASUU. If Tinubu or anyone else thinks the Muhammadu Buhari administration effectively settled the ASUU matter before leaving office, such a person only deceives himself. What Buhari did was to leave a smouldering fire on his rooftop while he fiddled like Rome's King Nero.

THE story is told of a new convert to one of these new churches where the pastors froth and fall in their gymnastics with the Almighty’s words as they extort attendants. He was intoxicated by the volume of promises that he imbibed and ready to do whatever the pastor said. He promised himself in the course of the service that he would be immediate.

It’s not often that you meet Supreme Court justices, serving or retired. I first met retired Justice Sunday Akinola Akintan casually at a reception in Abuja, for my friend and radical lawyer, Yinka Olumide-Fusika, who had been admitted to the inner bar. Then, we met again about one year later, this time, through his book.
