It is a reminder of a time when politics in the old Western Region descended into chaos, when disagreement turned into violence, and violence into anarchy. Homes were burnt, opponents…

TOLULOPE FASUAN asked members of the public if they would quit their jobs at the request of their spouse I can quit if…– Friday Tijani The first answer that struck my mind was no, but that cannot be the answer since the person in question is my spouse (wife). If she’s asking me to quit, it must be a tangible reason. Maybe she has a better job to offer or my job is a threat to her life and not based on emotional reasons.
