Capo di tutti capi simply connotes in mafia parlance a supreme “godfather” or Italian parlance “boss of all bosses” and it is common knowledge that in mafia world, tensions and internal warfare for supremacy and power to control other members typified this game. One can see similar characteristics in our ruling party looking at the different contradictions that the party has been characterized with in the current post-election period. The outcomes in both chambers of the Nation...

To be specific the outcomes of the elections of principal officers in the National Assembly where Senator  Olusola Saraki and Rt. Honorable Yakubu Dogara emerged as President and Speaker of both the Senate and House of Representatives alongside with their deputies respectively have shown the nature of what the current ruling party is.

I am not going to write or rant about any of the latest sack of some hitherto political associates of Mr. Jonathan that he recently shown the way out and expectedly many of such people will still be booted out before President Jonathan finally goes home to Otuoke from Aso Rock. But I am going to pay tribute to the termination of mortality of one of the Nigeria’s best rural surgeons in person of late Dr. Oluyombo Awojobi. It was on Friday 17 th of April, 2015 that I received a very shocking news first from my wife, Omotoyosi on the demise of one of Nigeria’s best rural surgeons, a global brand, a community man, philanthropist, a great dreamer, a silent achiever, humble human being, a model to many, a great mind and a man that was feared and loved at the same time. “ Femi, Ayo...
