Intimate Affairs: WHEN 'SORRY' MEANS NOTHING
By Funke Egbemode
We called them the ‘happening couple’. Flex (real name was Felix) was a 500 level Medicine student while Tunrayo was a 200 level Law student. Though the two of them were very busy ‘effico’, they spent every free moment together. They went to the bukateria together, walked hand-in-hand to the library and the cinema. They were a reference point especially when we girls wanted to ‘yab’ our NFA male classmates who were in the habit of giving excuses to their girlfriends as to why they couldn’t take them to see a movie at Oduduwa.
PERSPECTIVE OF THE WIGWE TRAGEDY
By Dare Babarinsa
So, Herbert Onyewumbu Wigwe would be carried home like a man who has fallen at the war front. He was a different kind of hero, with a lot of medals and a lot of scars. He won many battles. He, like Admiral Horatio Nelson of Trafalgar, won his last battle, but still fell. He could not have believed that his story would end so soon. He had dashed out to the United States with his wife Chizoba and his son, Chizi. They were to watch the super bowl of American football and then dashed home to resume the fast life and good money they were used to. Now, they are coming home for the final time to join the company of the ancestors.

REINVENTING, RESTRUCTURING, RENOVATING, PANEL-BEATING NIGERIA OR WHAT? - 1
By Bolanle Bolawole
Politics apart, the aggregate of opinion is that Nigeria is in a very bad shape; opinion is divided, though, on what needs to be done to return it to a better shape. Has this become a mission impossible? Can Nigeria be salvaged or is it beyond redemption? Is the task of our heroes, past and present, condemned to being like that of Sisyphus? Greek mythology records that Sisyphus, a king of Corinth, was punished in Hades (Hell) for his misdeeds by being condemned eternally to rolling a heavy stone up a hill: Each time he approached the top of the hill, the stone escaped his grasp, rolled to the bottom, ad nauseam, ad infinitum! Nigeria escaped what we thought was a gripping debt burden under President Olusegun Obasanjo only to run headlong into a more scandalously vicious debt trap nuder President Muhammadu Buhari!
Policing: IS IT STATE POLICE OR POLICE STATE?
By Ikeddy Isiguzo
Without stretching one's memory, it is always easier to remember an ill that the police did. This tends to erase whatever good the police did, and still do. Even in the worst of times, we have been beneficiaries of the goodness of the few policeman and women who remind us that policing is fir the society's good.
