IYABO OBASANJO-BELLO: AN HONOURABLE LAWMAKER AS A FUGITIVE LAWBREAKER. by Dotun Oyeniyi April 28, 2008 Running away from justice should normally not
be an issue for endless debates. All criminals like to evade
justice. However when the fugitive happens to be an ‘Honourable
Lawmaker’ of a nation, the probing sensibility of the masses will be
greatly aroused.

FREEDOM FOR LT-COLONEL ISHAYA BAMAIYI: MUCH ADO ABOUT NIGERIA JUDICIAL
SYSTEM by Dotun Oyeniyi April 23, 2008 No. I am not making a mistake. I mean
Lieutenant-Colonel Ishaya Bamaiyi and not Lieutenant-General
Ishaya Bamaiyi. This is because I sincerely think that Nigeria
should extend the attempted ‘decimalisation’ of the Naira,
propounded by the CBN governor, Charles Soludo to our military
ranks. Soludo, we would recall, attempted to slash the value of
the naira by one-tenth or so, so that if you had N1000 in the
bank, it becomes N100, this according to him was because the naira
is overvalued. That novel proposition has now been rested on the
presidency’s instruction.

ALAO-AKALA, THE TRIBUNAL VERDICT AND THE ‘ALAAFIN
OF OYO STATE’ by Dotun Oyeniyi April 01, 2008 At last, the election tribunal has given its
verdict in Oyo State. For good or for bad; with a 3 to 1 majority,
the tribunal has reaffirmed INEC’s position by saying that
Alao-Akala was duly elected as Governor in the last elections and
therefore should continue to govern over the pacesetter state.

March 17, 2008 Before the emergence of this enigma called
Barack Obama, It was really tempting to conclude that the last chapter
in the world’s book of modern political heroes have been worthily
grabbed by immortal Nelson Mandela.

419 LEGISLATORS IN THE HOUSE: HELPING ALIYU STATE THEIR NAMES by Dotun Oyeniyi February 04, 2008
Nigeria is at it once again. A nation that
continues to craft a spectacular image for itself in terms of its
ability to spring out to the whole world, in a repetitive and endless
format, news of incredible events, which could only be thought to be
in the realm of improbable fictional imaginations of Hollywood
scriptwriters, but which are factual and played out in Africa most
populous nation.

OBASANJO, ADEDIBU AND THE LEGACY OF THE
PEOPLE’S DEMO-THUGGERY PARTY ((PDP) by Dotun Oyeniyi January 07, 2008 Let us sweep under the carpet, if just for this once, for the sake of
objectivity, the seemingly unrestrained vituperation, both verbal and
written, which our immediate past president, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo had
consistently and ceaselessly been receiving since his departure from office.
