Just when many of us were impressed enough by what appeared to be the government’s unaccustomed sensitivity to public outrage and wrote to acknowledge it, it reversed its reversal! Maryam Sanda, the insensate husband killer, will be free in a few years.
A woman had shown her courage, her strength and resilience. We choose to see a breast and nyash that is not exposed. Forgetting, a woman who covered all of her body was sexually harassed by Akpabio.

Nnamdi Kanu might have hurt a lot of other people and he should be held accountable for that, but if we leave that justice to Tinubu, are we not also using that as a basis for him to crush any dissenting opinion in Nigerian politics by equating them to Nnamdi Kanu. First, they will come for Nnamdi Kanu, but very soon they will come for the pregnant woman who reviewed a tomato paste online, and the only way to do that is to not concede any power to them and ask them to immediately conduct an open, democratic and fair public probe for Nnamdi Kanu in which the Nigerian masses and elected representatives across different interests groups across the country (including those in the South East) can contribute to the course of justice. THIS SHOULD BE OUR DEMANDS! This should be our demand. Not a delayed court trial that Tinubu and Wike can easily influence. If Nnamdi Kanu decides to work for Tinubu’s 2027 re-election today, the same people holding him now will easily release him to use him to subvert the electoral will of the Nigerian masses.
Government and its security agencies have discredited themselves and the trials and by extension have discredited the judiciary with the ways the Kanu case, which ordinarily shouldn’t be more than three years of trial, was handled and still being handled. In a civil rule, protest is legitimate, it’s the needed oxygen for democracy to grow. I wonder why police who are invited to secure the Free Kanu protesters say they cannot guarantee their security and safety but can guarantee the safety of anti-Kanu protesters. That’s an open indictment of bias and a self ridicule before the world.

To better understand how Kanu ended up in Nigeria and why he’s not supposed to face trial, you need to juxtapose it to what happened to Umaru Dikko in 1984 and its fallouts. Dikko’s kidnapping was, like this one of Kanu, a brazen act of attempted extraordinary rendition, which – by the way – is a grave State crime under the canons of international law that bind Nigeria as a bonafide member of comity or nations. When it happens, dire consequences must ensue and one of them is this: By the dint of such egregious misconduct, the complicit rogue State permanently loses its prosecutorial power over the victim of the rendition.

Big Brother is not just a narrator; he is a psychologist, a therapist, and a master of emotional intelligence. He knows how to balance warmth and authority perfectly. One moment, he can sound like a strict father figure, and the next, he’s a teasing friend. He knows exactly when to push the housemates to open up emotionally and when to step back and give them space. His voice alone can express joy, disappointment, humor, and anger and he does it so effortlessly that it feels natural.

The mass movement continues, and the cities of Nepal are soaked in flames from burnt houses and properties of corrupt politicians. Power has left the walls of government buildings; it now resides with the mass of angry protesters. A video of the Hilton hotel, an abode for corrupt politicians to lavish money on merriment, circulated on social media; fire and flames had consumed it, burnt down by angry protesters. Many politicians have now abandoned their homes and fled. Without a Prime Minister, without the parliament, and with the flight of political officeholders, the institutions of repression—the police, law courts, and prisons—have become paralyzed. The police, without a “state” to be loyal to, are non-existent. The question is who will fill this vacuum?

We must not deceive ourselves. If Nigerians do not ask hard questions, nothing will change. We need to know how much has been recovered in the last ten, fifteen, even twenty years. We need to know which projects these recoveries have funded. Nigerians should be able to point to schools, hospitals, or roads that were built with EFCC recovered funds. If the government insists these projects exist, then let citizens go and touch them with their own hands. If this is not possible, then it means the so called fight against corruption is just another scam, another deception designed to pacify the poor masses while the elite continue their feast.
