Are we being gang-raped without knowing?

By Femi Adesina (kulikulii@yahoo.com, 08055001928) Friday, April 15, 2011

One, which he used frequently after the annulment of the 12 June 1993 presidential election, which he won, was this: “If rape becomes inevitable, you better lie back and begin to enjoy it.”

I’ve always had, and still have problems with the logic of that ‘wisecrack’ by Abiola, which has the… Continue

By Eric Osagie (ericosagie@sunnewsonline.com) Monday, April 04, 2011

The nation’s much-awaited elections have finally kicked off, after months of wobbling and fumbling, blood and mayhem; arson and brigandage, as well as, all forms of threats, intimidation and coercion. While the campaigns lasted, you would think the issue at stake was more than election. You would think that Nigeria was a nation at war with itself. Yes, they say politics is an art of war, but if it was about service… Continue

It is instructive to note that the last 50 years have largely been chequered as a result of poor leadership and wide spread corruption. Little wonder that Nigerians agreed that the April 9 Presidential election provides a platform, an opportunity for the nation to institute a leadership that is in tune with global trends, strong moral character and… Continue

The Nigerian electorate worry about their votes. They want it to count. But they perpetually lick their wounds over the years. Will the votes now count? That’s not a question with immediate answers, not when promises of a positive answer had turned out lies in the past. That is the challenge of the up coming polls. Undoubtedly, scores of Nigerians would go to the polling booths. And it would be a sad day… Continue

INEC, April polls, and legal booby traps

By Sun News Publishing Wednesday, March 2, 2011

What is the way forward, in view of the short time at our disposal?We acknowledge the inalienable right of the aggrieved to go to court to seek redress. Many of our political parties cruelly subverted due process in congresses and primaries that led to the emergence of candidates for various positions, and the injured can only get reprieve through the courts.
