From riffle wielding military men in green, blue and white uniforms, depending on the service arm, to bribe eating policemen in black uniforms, to conniving prison warders, potbellied customs and immigrations officials, devious road safety men, overzealous hunters and vigilantes, unruly road transport workers and multifarious traffic control organizations, our uniformed men are legion! They are many and they are let loose on the length and breadth of our besieged country. They confront us everywhere and anywhere we turn, at home,…

We Are Looking for the Doctors By Sunny Awhefeada

Admin

By Sunny Awhefeada   Brigadier Sani Abacha, as he then was, it was who announced the 31 December 1983 putsch that torpedoed the ill-fated government of Alhaji Shehu Usman Aliyu Shagari and sounded the death knell for the second republic. An unforgettable line in Abacha’s coup speech was that our hospitals had become “mere consulting clinics”.

Although, the speech pointed to a negation of the purpose of government, we must realize…
