Save Nuhu Ribadu
Thursday, 27 December 2007 7:04 P GMT+01
The Chairman of the EFCC is doing a very difficult job and it beginning to rope in corrupt untouchables. This is upsetting the political order and he is about to be sidelined with a compulsory study-leave order.
We must protest this development.
Are you buying trainers?
Thursday, 27 December 2007 6:53 P GMT+01
There should be no truth in the story that Nike UK has not paid some of its staff their salaries by the 27th of December. There really should be no truth in that.

Guns and Churches for Security
Tuesday, 11 December 2007 2:05 A GMT+01
Murder in the church and the right to bear arms could be difficult topics. But one wonders if church-goers need as much protection from others as they also need to be controlled by threat of the gun.
The crime of being raped by justice
Monday, 10 December 2007 9:54 P GMT+01
Two cases of gang-rape where the judges forgot their vocations and dehumanised the victims with unforgivable punishments and pronouncements.

Monday, 10 December 2007 12:25 P GMT+01

John Sentamu - A true African Leader
Sunday, 9 December 2007 11:59 A GMT+01
Archbishop John Sentamu cut up his dog collar and vowed never to wear one till Robert Mugabe has been gotten rid of, I wish African politicians had much integrity to deal with Mugabe as such too, they are a disgrace.

Sorious Samura - Living with Corruption
Saturday, 8 December 2007 10:39 A GMT+01
Sorious Samura leads us to the heart of endemic corruption in Africa and how the little man is squeezed to the pips by petty officials and administrators.
Fixing Capitalist Errors with Socialist Favours
Friday, 7 December 2007 6:16 A GMT+01
This US plan to freeze mortgage interest rates is a political and socialist response to serious capitalist errors of judgment and process.
