On Wednesday 23 November 2022, Abubakar Malami, Minister of Justice of President Muhammadu Buhari, was regaling himself with stories of $1 billion recovery, his latest figures being $300 million from Switzerland in 2017.

LIKE SOLOMON'S SON, REHOBOAM, LIKE MUHAMMADU BUHARI?

By Bola Bolawole

Poet Laureate, Prof. Niyi Osundare’s latest intervention best captures the mood of the moment. Aptly touted “Incompetence weds Corruption”, the first and the last statements fascinate me most. The first says: “Pepeiye nigba ti oo m’owe/Ki lo be lu’odo se?” Translated, it is a pointed question to the Duck, wondering why, when it knew it could not swim, it still jumped into the river. The Duck here is the president, retired Gen. Muhammadu Buhari, and the river is Nigeria and its state of affairs.

Marriage: WRONG CHOICE, A "KILLER" PITFALL

By Michael West

The season is here again. Adult singles are usually in a frenzied mood for life partners or companions, as it were, during the yuletide. Festive periods seem to spike anxiety as pressure on them by family members, parents, in particular, does increase. It is legitimate to be married, happy, and be fulfilled but this ultimate life attainment appears difficult for many to achieve. God wants everyone to be fulfilled and it is His desire to grant the aspiration of every being in that regard. There’s no specific moment for the singles to scout for life partners. Every day is a good day. Settling into a blissful marital life is the dream of every adult. My concern here is not just to see the singles get married but that they are rightly paired. Marrying wrong partners is like a life sentence into emotional prison, spiritual wilderness, and mental agony which are too dire to bear.
