All presidents, except Umaru Yar’Adua, declared emergencies.

I was in Ndjamena, Chad in 2014 as the then Secretary General of the African Workers, to meet the labour leaders in that country. There was a major barracks on the road opposite the hotel I stayed. Newly arrived soldiers poured from the barracks towards the hotel. They were Chadian troops that had been expelled by the Central African Republic, CAR.

By NICK DAZANG Before now, and for reasons best known to him, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu had preferred either to delegate or outsource his hallowed duties as the country’s Commander-in-Chief and Mourner-in-Chief to his minions. His minions, thus invested with presidential power, instead of showing compassion and fellow-feeling to their compatriots, carry on with haughtiness and uncommon superciliousness.

By ENEWARIDIDEKE EKANPOUCaution is a priceless word. Caution wards off waiting monsters and dangers when timely released to the concerned person. Differently, words are chosen to create a safe path for people to walk on, particularly for people who are already on a landmine-laden path.

Genesis 6:3 states thus, “My Spirit shall not strive with man forever, for he is indeed flesh; yet his days shall be one hundred and twenty years”.
