Ironsi and Jonathan: Faces of the same Coin?

I have been reflecting about Goodluck Ebele Jonathan; the manner of man he is and the position he occupies as Nigeria’s president. The more I try to analyze his efforts to steer the increasingly volatile ship of the Nigerian state, the more I am constrained to compare him with General Johnson Umunnakwe Aguiyi-Ironsi, Nigeria’s first military Head of State...

A Threat Greater Than Boko Haram

Puny Men, Vendors of Impunity

Bankole appears to be an expert in matters of pugilism. Last June, he presided over a session of the House that degenerated into an all-out brawl. That shoving, clawing, knuckle-throwing and clothe-tearing spectacle has since become a top draw on youtube...

As the Presidents Meet Again
