So, after so much dilly dallying on my part, I finally decided to travel on Sunday but then, I had to put up one last show of my genius; I had to confuse "Village People" by announcing that I'd travel on Saturday... My journey was largely uneventful majorly because I was travelling in a bus that had a more than fair share of nursing mothers strutting their respective breasts in a bid to feed their always hungry babies: this of course lacked the capability of interesting me. Well, things took a twist in my rather boring journey as men of the Nigerian Police Force stopped our bus to carry out a thorough check probably because we looked suspicious (I'm guessing this suspicion was stroked by the fact that my eyes were as red as whatever you can imagine as a result of my "highness" and because I wore a black face cap, a black top and a black trousers). I was searched and fortunately for me, I decided to leave my kitchen knife in school, and I had run out of su...
Man is a social creature but so are dogs and chimpanzees and in fact, we have biological predispositions like the other animals on earth. But, what is different about us humans is that we have linguistic abilities and are guided by reason. We are the only creatures capable of consciously and intentionally creating systems of rules and institutions to help order our lives by giving us reasons to behave in one way or the other. What is distinctive about law in this sense however, is that the creation and enforcement of legal rules is accomplished by the state, including its near monopoly on lawful enforcement.

Indeed, the mirror is a miraculous invention without which man will commit great sins against decorum. Despite the horizontal division of government, the toga of...

First, it was last year ending when the President informed the whole world that Nigeria had technically defeated the scourge of Boko Haram. Then, just a few weeks back, the Finance Minister, Kemi Adeosun confirmed what we already feared about the Nigerian Economy; according to her, the Nigerian Economy was technically in a recession. Well, it's not news anymore; we feared it would get to this point but what still startles me is her failure to admit the obvious reality that is starring at us. Why go through the stress of telling us that we are technically in a recession when every key indicator points to the fact that we have been experiencing a full blown recession since the turn of the year. Well, enough of my rants; the question is, now that we are in this mess together, how do we get out of it as soon as possible before our economy slides into a depression ? First, let me explain economic r...
