Legitimacy of governance, succession, policing, in Nigerian politics: a way of life

A situation where you see police officers used as private escort for wealthy individuals including expatriates is befuddling. The hustling mentality, the lack of self-esteem by officers and rank, including poor pay structure will forever produce a corrupt and mediocre police system...

Murtallabian Tendency

Amala, Ewedu, Isi-Ewu, Tuwo-Shinkafa Pounded Yam Marketing
