"Sports do not build character; they reveal it." - Heywood Broun.

The 1993/94 squad of the Super Eagles of Nigeria remains the most famous and illustrious in the anals of our national sports history. No set has surpassed their heroism so far. Not even the then golden boys of 1993 under-17 world cup, and the dream team that won gold at the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta Georgia could compare with them.

A worrying trend that may have contributed to fostering the strained socio-political situation in the country is the prevalent activities of faceless persons whose intentions are clearly anything but altruistic. While some of them may masquerade as victims of the public service or as social crusaders, their real intentions are to drag institutions of state and their functionaries into disrepute.

While Nigerians were still trying to reconcile in their heads the ban on Tweeter operation in Nigeria in this 21st century by President Buhari, something akin to an unidentified flying object (UFO) hit our information superhighway on June 5, 2021.

In 2012, one Mr. A.A Obi (a Medical Laboratory Scientist) with Nnamdi Azikiwe University Teaching Hospital (NAUTH) Nnewi, went against a 'popular convention' to vie for the office of Chief Medical Director (CMD) of the hospital, and the whole heaven was let loose! Physicians protested against how a paramedical health worker could have the balls to challenge them in a position that was 'exclusively' reserved for the -- holders of MBBS certificates. They forgot it is called the Ministry of Health not the Ministry of Medicine and Surgery!

On June 12, this year, Nigeria, Africa’s most populous country and the continent’s social and economic hub, would be celebrating its “Democracy Day”, made possible through the magnitude of President Muhammadu Buhari’s (PMB’s) political will. The President had wisely picked “June 12” above “May 29”, which was observed for about two decades as “Democracy Day”, by former Chief Olusegun Obasanjo’s presidency and a couple administrations after his. May 29 ceased to be recognized as “Democracy Day” on June 6, 2019, by the instrumentality of President Buhari’s pronouncement.

The sarcasm of Will Rogers is proving true in Nigeria lately. According to the veteran American film actor and social commentator: "People are getting smarter nowadays they are letting lawyers, instead of their conscience, be their guide." A crop of such people are currently at work in Abuja trying to defame and derail the popular host of Berekete Human Rights and Charity organization, Ahmad Isah, because of a stimulated, yet involuntary slip of action.

A few weeks back, I sat down listening to an elder statesman, an experienced Learned Senior Counsel and one who should truly know, campaigning for the return of the military in the affairs and government of Nigeria.
