THE PENALTY FOR TERRORISTS

There are talks on granting amnesty to perpetrators of terrorism in Nigeria if caught and if eventually defeated.

We must classify terrorism as murder and as mass murder. The penalty for murder is life imprisonment or the death sentence. And I can say it will be a fitting penalty for Boko Haram members after all the anguish they've unleashed on Nigerians.

The difference between terrorism and the south south amnesty program is that Nigeria owes south south. They were agitating for a just cause(the equal sharing of resources).What is boko haram agitating for?

These boko haram members should be adequately dealt with and justice brought to those who lost their lives as a result of these.

Same thing goes for the Fulani herdsmen, the blood of innocent farmers whose property they trespassed and then murdered is crying for justice.

We should not just stop at fighting corruption, we must deal with the excesses of those who have no respect for human lives and think they can kill at anytime they will.

The End SARS Protests

I have been quiet since the end sars movement started.

And what is democratic about a president who has refused to listen to the cries of the people?In their short memory however, they have forgotten that this same president came into power for the first time in 1985 after a coup...

THE GAINS AND LOSSES OF THE ABSENCE OF MR PRESIDENT: BY UWAKWE ROLAND.

President Muhammadu Buhari has been absent from duty since the last few months on a purported medical checkup in London. Good a thing he legally transferred power to the Vice President who is now the acting President, this is unlike the imbroglio that played out during Yar’adua’s time when the National Assembly had to invoke the doctrine of necessity so as to effectively transfer power to then Vice President Goodluck Jonathan. The problem is that even as an acting President, Yemi Osinbanjo has limited powers to fully assume responsibility as the commander in chief, this is because most of the big government functionaries may still owe their loyalty to Mr President, couple with this, Buhari appointed people of his like minds who may not comfortably work with the acting President that will want to bring his knowledge of law and practice into governance. Hence the long absence of Mr President may eventually result to a slow down of democratic dividends. The above ...
