 Dear Cummings,  How did you forget that the UK is not Nigeria, where different rules are made for different statuses and faces. In the UK, laws are made for everyone and to be respected by all regardless. In Nigeria, the law respects status and has boundary of effectiveness. If it were to be Nigeria, Cummings, you could travel way beyond the shores and into another country with the luxury of private and presidential jets- in the tightest lockdown restrictions. You may consider coming to Nigeria to enjoy such irresponsible privileges for being a government official. May you take this moment to reflect on your act and realize how you've goofed by not realizing firsthand that in a country where laws work, everyone responds to its bidding. Happy resignation! My people, ICYMI.... Dominic Cummings is a top advisor to PM Boris Johnson, who flouted the Covid-19 lockdown regulation in March by traveling from London to Durham. Cummings is to leave his position this Christmas after much...

  The Election Is Over, Concession Is Now! Donald Trump and every fanatical supporter of his, who sees absolutely nothing wrong but wholly good with him, must realize that power belongs to God and that he vests it on whomsoever he wills. The majority of the people of America have spoken as regards who they want to lead them from now on! And that person is the candidate of the Democratic Party, Joe Biden! Could Donald J Trump respect that wish with the decency that he yet has? Could his supporters help him do so if he, out of the probable trauma, fails to so do?

As such, he must understand the emerging reality to make the needed concession to defeat rather than heating up the polity and smirching a long trusted system. But the truth be and which must be strictly stated is that the American system respects nobody more than the commitment to protect its institution. Hence, whether or not Donald Tr...

The United States 2020 presidential election has come and gone, even as the winner is yet to be known. The lingered process has continued to generate streams of reactions for and against the process itself and the contenders. Below are just some of my ripostes to some of these reactions, which are mostly Facebook posts. To Femi Fani-Kayode ,  Why do you always sound defeatist as evident in your pouring of tantrums when things seem not to work according to your prediction. You're human and your opinions are not sacred and certain. They are what they are, opinions. In 2016, you had predicted and supported a Trump win and it did happen so. You felt fly, maybe as a true prophet. We who supported Hillary and supported her emergence, took the result, shook our feet and moved on. It wasn't a life battle! Your coming now to pour invective and make mess of the opinions of people supporting the one you hate is ridiculous and smacks of a personality who's unidirectional, and who feels...
