NO TEARS FOR
SADDAM. HOW ABOUT THE PRINCIPLE?
(By
Paul I. Adujie)
New
York, USA
I am an
admirer of Professor Mike Ikhariale’s writings, he is always lucid
and succinct in his prolific and prodigious efforts, this has been
clear, his numerous contributions are indicative; And I on occasions
commended his profound understanding of the issues and praised his
presentation; I consider myself a pupil of his writing style!...

RE: NIGERIA AND
OUR BAD GENERALS
(By
Ihas Idriess)
Yola,
Nigeria
I normally
hate to join issues with sycophants, liars, boot lickers and myopic,
whose argument are always one sided, devoid of facts, but full of
sentiments. I love
responding to eloquently written articles, rich in prose and full of
objective criticisms. But
when I decide to respond to the above article, I have put aside all
that, in order that I may educate Bala and in the process might be
able to drag him out of his shield and expose him for what he really
is...

shocked and surprised at your statement that the ANPP presidential
candidate is not going anywhere, to quote you precisely' it
should be clear by now to even the most incurable optimist that he
is not going any where'' in the next April presidential polls. you
have already given the victory to your Yoruba brother Olusegun

THE NATIONAL
ENERGY CRISIS: SABOTEURS AS SCAPEGOATS
(By
Abba Gana Shettima)
Maiduguri,
Nigeria
(AmanaOnline
Writer)
 Throughout
history, human beings—and especially those in positions of
power—have attempted to keep their hands clean by finding a
scapegoat for every failure or mistake on their part.
The ancient Hebrews sacrificed innocent goats as atonement
for the sins of the Children of Israel while the Athenians
sacrificed wretched human beings who were fed and raised for the
purpose...

MARKETING BONI
HARUNA FOR A SECOND TERM
(By
Babayola M. Toungo)
Kaduna,
Nigeria
(AmanaOnline
Writer)
 Governor
Boni Haruna of Adamawa State is a man I consider not worthy of the
mental stress to discuss his style of governance.
Trying to understand a man who ascended the exalted position
of a State Chief Executive without setting out to do so, and despite
all machinations by those who never wanted him to ascend and with a
bountiful goodwill cutting across all social strata, yet fail
woefully can only be better understood when....

To open it
loud, I am not a politician nor political gainer, I haven’t been
to any political party, to make it short I do not belong to any
association, but we Nigerians are in problem, concerning our nascent
Democracy which leads to many crisis in the development of this
country our retired generals are not suppose to be our politicians,
how a person who was trained to be defend or gun keeper will turn to
be a politician in some of little years...

OPEN LETTER TO
MUHAMMADU BUHARI
(By
Ibrahim Dan Halilu)
Kaduna,
Nigeria
This is my
second letter to you through the web.
The first was written shortly after your much-publicized
truce with general Ibrahim Babangida. I did not hide my contempt for such a retrogressive action in
view of what I described as your parallel character and perception
of leadership. Much as
I was conscious of the motivations behind the Sultan’s
intermediary role in the reconciliation process, I expressed
reservations about it because of the perceived interpretations...

RE: BUHARI AND

(By

Kaduna,

Dear
Ekpoh, I read
your article or rather comment captioned "Buhari and Democratic
Struggle," published on Gamji website on April 8, 2003, and am
compelled to respond in order to clarify some misconception and to
furnish you with information on some issue you raised. First, I must
tell you frankly that I am neither a
card carrying member of All Nigeria Peoples party, ANPP nor a member
of Buhari Campaign Organisation. But I have high respect for the

ARE WE READY FOR
BUHARI?
(By
Ihas Idriess)
Yola,
Nigeria
If
personality, sincerity, credibility, patriotism and massive
acceptance are the prerequisite for success, I stand to be
corrected; I believe Buhari has no rival in today’s Nigerian
political dispensation. Since
democracy is a game of numbers, then come May 29, 20003 Buhari will
be matching to Aso Rock Villa either the Kenyan style or the
Ravolmanana way, I earnestly pray for the latter...

A CHOICE BETWEEN
OBASANJO AND BUHARI
(By
Sony Onyegbula)
South
Africa
The
presidential elections slated for 19 April 2003 is drawing closer by
the day. As the grain is separated from the chaff most commentators
have seen the race as between two retired Generals and former
military Heads of State. The reason for this is obvious. General
Obasanjo is the incumbent president and candidate for the ruling
party PDP while General Buhari has a track record of impeccable...

TAZARCE AS A BANE
OF NIGERIA'S DEMOCRACY
(By
Bala Yahaya)
In all the
three tiers of government i.e
federal, state and local governments, efforts are being geared
towards ensuring that all hurdles that could hinder the incumbents
from securing a second term are being removed. This includes
persecution, demoralization, and gruesome assassination of perceived
prospective aspirants, their mentors and supporters who are likely
to constitute stumbling blocks to tazarce plans...

WHO IS A
NIGERIAN? THE OTHER SIDE OF THE COIN
(By
Sammani D. Abdullahi)
My attention
has been drawn to an article written by the widely respected
Professor of Economics, Ibrahim Ayagi titled: “The North” What
is the North”? Who are the Northerners”? [1]
The said article was well written, albeit some seeming lopsidedness,
perhaps for image polishing. In the course of the article’s
review, I intend to elaborate more on who is even a Nigerian rather
than the occupants of one segment of the society’s tripod...

On
