By IfeanyiChukwu Afuba President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s invocation of state of emergency in Rivers State on Tuesday, March 19, 2025, prompts us to appreciate Goodluck Ebele Jonathan as an outstanding hero of democracy. Jonathan first wrote his name on the sands of our electoral history when he refused to rig his way to a second term in office in 2015 and allowed the electorate’s verdict to prevail.

He had prepared an agreement allowing the US access to Ukraine’s minerals in exchange for America’s military aid and presumed help in brokering a ceasefire with Russia. Volodymyr Zelensky refused to sign the draft agreement pointing out that it offered no security guarantees for Ukraine against Vladimir Putin’s obsessive territorial expansion.

This is not a review of Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida’s memoir – A Journey in Service publicly presented on February 20. It’s an interrogation of a single item, a claim which though contained in the book, could equally have been made elsewhere, in a different setting. The basis of this engagement is national history. Babangida was widely reported to have expressed regret over the fiasco that took over the June 12, 1993 presidential poll.

It surely sounds radical to say that the legislature is not there yet in the Fourth Republic democracy. And this is not implying that the legislature was impactful in the first and second republics. The defence for the low performance of the legislature is that it had always been a casualty at each turn of coups and counter-coups, denying it the strength of cumulative growth and experience.

By IfeanyiChukwu Afuba Ordinarily, the Igbo elite don’t believe in Nnamdi Kanu and Simon Ekpa. Who organises a coup against himself? The Igbo business and political elite have vested interests in Nigeria and would argue that Nigerians are better off in one united country. Majority of educated southeasterners, those you could say are struggling with life, are indifferent to the agitation for separation. They are not convinced about the practical prospects of realising Biafra.

By IfeanyiChukwu AfubaBetween 1985 and 2000, the Aka Circle of Artists was a prominent feature in Nigeria’s art scene with her yearly group exhibitions. On the occasion of her 1990 outing, Nsikak Essien, a member of the 13-man fraternity, came up with a work titled Armageddon. It was a montage of horrifying news stories, each as shocking and saddening as the other. The long run of tragedies, natural and man-made, all happening in a few years, truly evoked a feeling of damnation.
