Aburi Ghosts, Asaba Secessionists and Waffles In High Places, By Festus Adedayo

When you listen to Nigeria’s Senate President, Ahmed Lawan’s skewed submission on Southern governors’ meeting in Asaba, Delta State last week, you will realise that people in high places too are not immune from marketplace waffles. Miniature logic can proceed from the minds of huge, prarchute-like babanriga wearers after all. More importantly, from the tragic Lawan ill-logics, the much talked about January, 1967 Aburi Accord will present to you as the quintessential Julius Caesar’s ghost promising to meet its nemesis at Philippi. Finally, you will find out that Nigeria is trapped inside this pit being because it lacks critically thinking leaders.

Uzor Maxim Uzoatu pays tribute to Robert Marley, a remarkable musician
It is difficult to believe that 40 years had swept by since the death of the legendary master, Bob Marley.
Yes, Robert Nesta Marley, universally known and adored as Bob Marley, died at 11.40 on Monday morning, May 11, 1981.
Born at 2.30am on Wednesday, February 6, 1945, he was only 36 years old when he passed on but he had more than conquered the world.
Rastafarian, revolutionary, poet, icon, Bob Marley was arguably the most remarkable musician of his age.
He was the product of a liaison between a black mother, Cedella Booker, and a white father, Captain Norval Marley who was a quartermaster with the British West Indian Regiment in Jamaica.
