The *Immortal* eucomiun delivered by Chief Ladoke Akintola on the occasion of Chief Awolowo’s 50th birthday anniversary in March 1959 By Ladoke Akintola To Chief Awolowo, passivity is a bane and inaction an anathema. How could it be otherwise to a life which thrives on industry and to a man with fanatical faith in hard work? That was why he made himself a terror to the demagogues and Mountebanks who, with neither a chart nor a rudder, believed that they could steer the Nigerian ship of state to its destination. No pilot has a clearer vision and none a keener sense of mission than Chief Awolowo… In the political changes which took place in Nigeria from 1947 onwards, Dr. Azikiwe has been spasmodic and casual; Sir Ahmadu Bello has been leisurely and care-free; but Awolowo has been constant and calculating…To know Chief Awolowo as a man is to respect him. It has been my pride and pleasure to know him. He is by every standard a genius. His unimpeachable character, his faith in God, his conf...

Did Umar, the boss, did anything untoward towards him to make him decide to snuff life out him? No. Umar's security guard poisoned him in order to rob him of his possession in his home!  It was so bad that Umar had to stay under medical supervision overnight, "fighting for his life".

But just five minutes later, Umar discovered that the ...

But, in the face of the concrete confidence the ruling party got recently following a tsunami of defections from within the same opposition, the All Progressives' Congress (APC) is not loosening it's lead. Today's, it held a national summit comprising all ministers, members of national assembly, governors, past excis, past governors in a power move to show its swelling tanks.  This is in stark contrast to a pitifully shrunk opposition that boasted of a few notable individuals.  The ruling party gained an advantage when signals in the Nigerian political space reveals that securing political office in Nigeria now, is by belonging to the ruling party. Current office holders are also not unmindful  of the politi...

Nigerians, please be very very hyper vigilant nowadays. Cold blooded elements are not above doing anything to their fellow humans just to gain riches by any means  Three years ago, Bamise's k1lling inside a state-funded bus is an  indication that nobody should loose guard irrespective of plying a government bus. Before, taking that form of transposition was the safest. Not any more. Guard your movements and vehicle you board, whether private, public or government-established.  Timothy Adegoke's equally gruesome k1lling occurred right on his bed in a hotel bed in his hotel room that he paid for to accommodate him whilst attending OAU Ife, a university, for his Master's. He was h1t with a club in his sleep after his attackers entered his room with the spare key in the middle of the night.         The small alleyway separating             restaurant and petrol station Now, guys, be extra hyper vigilant where you mak...
