Never believe it's over until it's over. Obafemi Awolowo said years ago, greatness is never achieved by not falling, but by rising each time we fall. Cote D'ivoire rose today to overcome defending champions Senegal after unimpressive start to AFCON 2024 the country is hosting.

Congratulations Nigeria for advancing to AFCON quarter finals. Grit and determination did it with Osimhen leading the charge and Lookman doing the scoring against Cameroun. But more work need to be done against Angola, the next opponents.

It should be clear or indeed clearer to the powers that be that Nigeria is again facing insecurity dire straits. Kidnappers are killing randomly even as they collect handsome ransoms. From Abuja to Plateau to Zamfara and Katsina, you ask: where is safe in Nigeria today?

Marrying a 4-year old girl to a 54-year old man under whatever spiritual or cultural guise as reportedly happened in a Bayelsa State community is a violent violation of the kid's fundamental human right. It is a crime against humanity that should not be allowed to stand.

Which is that whoever is alleged should be allowed to freely defend him/herself in a law court. Power Show, which again Fela sang about, cannot and should not be the alternative.

Finally, while it is normal and welcome for activists or critics to be subjected to higher level of scrutiny in their public conduct or misconduct, they should however neither be subjected to mob justice nor denied what they normally demand of others in similar circumstances;

That is why I said earlier that both Seun and the police officer involved in the matter at hand are, in a sense, victims who should be waging collective struggle against a system that brutalises all.
