ARE OUR LEADERS LISTENING
TO THE PEOPLE’S SULTAN? by Dotun Oyeniyi February 01, 2010
I have a fervent admiration for the Sultan of Sokoto, His
Eminence, Alhaji Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar. We have not seen any
Sultan like him in our recent history. Unlike most of our
traditional rulers, the Sultan is not one to frequent the
corridors of power or churn out chieftaincy titles to the men in
power in pursuit of vain glory or monetary rewards in return. His
utterances, since asscending the Sultanate, have always been
incisive, frank, non-patronising of those in government and clearly
pro-masses.NigerianNews

RUNNING A SICK NATION FROM
A SICK BED: BLAME NO ONE BUT OBASANJO by Dotun Oyeniyi January 28, 2010 History, so we all say, has a
way of repeating itself. However, history is only able to repeat itself
because human beings tend to repeat our acts or inactions. History is not
self-made. It is made out of the deeds of human beings. So when a bad
history is repeated, it is either the author of that history is a gloating
sadist, deriving some pleasure out of a bad situation or an obdurate
personality refusing to learn from previous errors. NigerianNews
