I love the wisdom of our ancestors. May their souls rest in perfect peace. They were great sages, thinkers and philosophers but, regrettably, their insights and wisdom were not documented like the West did to Plato, Aristotle, Socrates and the rest. There is this saying that our ancestors passed down to us: that the big talk is but for eight days. Unfortunately, the Abia big talk about expenditure on food, entertainment, honorarium et al did not last up to eight days. It boomed and fizzled away within two days.

The legislature has a crucial role to play in checking corruption and breaches of integrity in the judiciary. And, beyond politics, it is now committed to see that happen. That was the summation of a paper presented by the President of the 10th Senate and Chairman of the National Assembly, Senator Godswill Akpabio, CON, at the All Nigeria Judges’ Conference, recently.

Sections of the Yoruba are beginning to grumble about his appointments and President Bola Ahmed Tinubu must to hear this, like the Zazu crooner, Portable, sang in his album titled “Apostoli must to hear this” Despite that I am a Pentecostal pastor, I like that song no be small! Many will be surprised to hear that the Yoruba are beginning to grumble about Tinubu’s appointments, especially the ones coming to the South-west.

In journalism parlance, we say facts are sacred and opinion, free; some prefer to say “opinion is cheap”. Writing the manifesto for the Guardian newspaper in 1921, its editor, CP Scott, said: “Comment is free but facts are sacred” Comments, or opinions, are like wishes which an old English proverb says beggars would ride were they to be horses. Facts, however, are empirical and verifiable truths, devoid of the likes or dislikes of its purveyor. Facts are news and must be reported contemporaneously; so that we do not lose any of its essence. Opinion, on the other hand, allows for the idiosyncrasies of the purveyor. While time lag may affect the effectiveness of news, it does no damage to opinion. The liberties that a writer enjoys with opinion is denied in news writing. Talk is another thing that is said to be cheap. It is easy to talk animatedly or flamboyantly about so many things but do nothing afterwards. So, we are advised to walk the talk if we mean to be taken seriously.
