I am going to recall this anecdote from an Indian friend about a former President of the United States of America, Calvin Coolidge. President Coolidge had a reputation for word economy. But not only this, many people without an intimate knowledge of Coolidge had mistaken him as a common citizen because he had neither the airs nor the carriage or “personality” of a President. A tourist came up to him as he watered the gardens of the White House. “Who lives in this grand building?” the President was asked. He looked up at the tourist and said to him “No one. They just came and went.”

The resolution taken on Thursday, last week by the House of Representatives in Abuja to investigate the killing of 60 traders at the cattle market in Potiskum, Yobe state is politically important. I do not suggest that the outcome of the investigation will lead to action by way of arrests and prosecution of individuals. But it will serve a historical purpose.

Some among Nigerians didn't give him the benefit of having the slightest idea of how to deal with the enormous challenges Providence has thrust on his large shoulders.

The Almajiri Initiative, a new school system that seeks the integration of the Tsangaya (itinerant school) or Qur’anic School System and that of western education (Boko) just launched by the Federal Government in partnership with the states and local councils is a good new development even if, as I suspect, it is happening just accidentally.

There was time that the renowned Time Magazine put up the name of Adolph Hitler as a candidate for its annual “Man of the Year Award.” The whole idea, the magazine explained was in recognition of the profundity of the impact – good or bad – a man or woman may have made on the rest of humanity. This, understandably, caused an enormous outrage among many of their readers who asked the question “Why Hitler?”
