There’s a thin line between order and oppression — and when power begins to arm itself against those it is meant to protect, that line dissolves into tyranny disguised as security.
The recent call by the Corps Marshal of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) for its officers to bear firearms is more than an administrative request; it is a revealing metaphor for a nation drifting steadily toward the intimidation of power — where authority seeks validation not from legitimacy, but from weaponry.

Let the Poor Breath…
“The alimentary canal of our state ministers does not digest gold.”
Dr. Tai Solarin
There is so much tension in the land, like a simmering volcano waiting for the right pressure…to erupt into ceaseless flow of deadly lava and destruction unfathomable.
WHEN IMPUNITY REIGNS SUPREME
The current discourse going on in the country will make your stomach curl. The scandals, the allegations, the arrogance and the sheer impunity with which our Federal Lawmakers rub in their omnipotence brings nothing but sheer raw anger, bitterness and helplessness to everyone by and large.
Interestingly, while we may think its just up there, that sheer impunity has spread to all cadres of the society without fear nor favor.
Demagogue of Evil
Its quite interesting the cultural bias and the chauvinistic way our so called law makers shot down the Gender Equality bill introduced on the floor of the house.
While I don’t have the full details of the bill, I feel the argument to reject the bill should be more intelligent than belligerent, emotional and tactless argument based on culture and tradition.
