For “whatever the Lord does shall be forever” (Ecclesiastes 3:14). While at the university in 1993, I caught a profound vision of leaving Nigeria for America, obviously for a…

Late Barnabas and Amaka Igwe. This week marks 24 years since Barnabas and Amaka Igwe were liquidated. It is possible that the current governor of Anambra State has lost the capacity to be affronted by the murder of a pregnant woman. If so, he should stop complaining about insecurity. But he cannot put the security of the state in the hands of a man like Ken Emeakayi and still pretend that insecurity worries him. “The first method for estimating the intelligence of a ruler is to look at the men he has around him.” – Niccolo Machiavelli, The Prince, Chapter…
