Dear supporters of Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, if you truly want to fight for a better Nigeria, fight for a better Nigeria on principle, not based on interest; do so dispassionately, not selectively. If you hate corruption, injustice and bad governance, it should not matter who is in power. It should not matter which region or religion a leader or politician comes from. It should not matter the political party that is in power. You are an accomplice if you only speak out when it is convenient for you, but remain silent when your favourite politician is in government. Some of us have been consistent in our criticisms. Some of us have been consistent in resisting tyranny irrespective of who is in power. People from my home State, Akwa Ibom, who hated me for constantly deprecating the evils of the Godswill Akpabio regime are now pretending to be his adversaries. Some of them wished me death in the past because of my opposition to Akpabio, but they started singing a different

President Muhammadu Buhari Some supporters of the All Progressives Congress have faulted critics for blaming Nigeria’s present economic woes on President Muhammadu Buhari.  They said the current hardship in the country was a direct punishment from God to the people of Nigeria for their various sinful acts. The President’s supporters in a widely circulated song in Hausa claimed Nigerians had turned away from God, hence the hardship currently faced as punishment. The song is titled “Babu ruwan Buhari” meaning ‘It has nothing to do with Buhari.’ “People should stop blaming Buhari for current hardship. It is our sins and disobedience to Allah that put us in difficulties. “Buhari has nothing to do with this. It is a result of our sins. “We have abandoned Allah. It has nothing to do with Buhari. “We should seek forgiveness for our sins. It has nothing to do with Buhari,” the lyrics of the song said.

Leo Igwe Another case of witch persecution is unfolding in Cross River State. I was attending an event in Lagos when the news reached me. A renowned Nigerian journalist, Funmi Iyanda, is featuring the issue of child witch persecution in one of her Public Eye episodes later in the year.

While at the dinner table with Barr James Ibor of the Basic Rights Initiative (Calabar), who was also featured in the program, his phone rang.
