I grew up making life more harder on myself even though, life is a mixture of hard and good. There are times I never believe in myself. I never did, because I thought I was nothing. And this made me think less of God. Yes! I hated God. I was holding grudges against him for making me a disability out of poliomyelitis. I was that little girl that hated the  hearing of God’s name in my ears and I could shoot you if I’d had a gun when the name is been mentioned. The funny part of it, is that the same God I was hating was the same God I ran to when I got rejected, laughed at, made jest of and looked down on. I knew there was/is God, but I found it hard to let him in because, I felt if truly there is God, he wouldn’t have allowed it to happened to me at the first place. But I was wrong! Very wrong!

 As Nigeria joins the rest of the world to mark International Workers’ Day today, organised labour and the civil society coalition, under the aegis of Citizens’ Democratic Movement, have urged the country’s judiciary, especially judges of the Court of Appeal and Supreme Court, to help safeguard democracy by doing justice to all the election petitions brought before them. The movement, comprising several civil society and youth organisations, insisted that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) had seriously damaged the country’s democracy with its poor showing at the elections. They also vowed to name and shame corrupt leaders. Co-conveners of the movement included Olisa Agbakoba, SAN, Comrade Shehu Sanni, Ambassador Nkoyo Toyo, Professor Udenta Udenta, Salisu Mohammed, and Olawale Okunniyi.

No fewer than 39 out of the 58 senators elected across the various political parties in Northern Nigeria met Sunday night and resolved that their region must produce the  Senate President in the 10th National Assembly. A ranking senator from the North-west revealed the information to THISDAY Monday morning strictly on conditions of anonymity because of the sensitive nature of their discussion. The senator said the senators-elect maintained that the north deserves the number three position in the country because the region delivered the highest number of votes for the President-elect, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, in the February 25 presidential election.

The elected federal lawmakers, he added, would engage their counterparts from the Southern part of the country on the need to support their aspiration. Part of ...
