There is a groundswell of empirical evidence to demonstrate without any shadow of a doubt that one of the twin evils tearing Nigeria’s democracy apart and setting Nigeria out as one of the most beastly lawless nations in today’s world is official impunity and corruption. It is impunity that made a top military general nearly run yours faithfully out of the highway within Abuja this morning Thursday, August 22nd) just because of the ‘big-man’ virus that afflicts our nation.

The motorcycle out-rider even pointed a pistol at me for refusing to jump into the bush. I deliberately agreed to give way for the lawlessly driven convoy of the Army General to proceed because if anything had happened to me after the motorcycle security detail pointed a gun towards me, this government of President.
