Malami: MINISTER OF INJUSTICE.

 Malami: MINISTER OF INJUSTICE.




It is rather unfortunate and disconcerting that the office of the Attorney General Of the Federation of Nigeria has been an office where the occupant can be likened to village drunkard who brag and make unnecessary noise once intoxicated by alcohol.


It is ludicrous that Malami have failed to know even as a senior advocate, how laws are applied and also the importance of the highly rated office that he has rather optioned to use it for displaying his sectarian and emotional vituperation.


The AGF has several times poured out his provocative attitude on issues of national importance.


As published in Vanguard Newspaper publication of 14th January 2020, the AGF faulted Amotekun, a South West security outfit, saying that it was targeted at Fulani herdsmen and so declared it unconstitutional. 


Furthermore, as also published by Guardian Newspaper on September 19th, 2020, Malami has said that the National Assembly had no constitutional power to summon President Buahari following a call on the president to brief the country on state of insecurity as 43 rice farmers were massacred in Borno State. 


With the above captured excerpt, there is no surprise that the minister of justice was recently labelled an adjucator of injustice, tribal senselessness and total display of emotions even with issues that has to do with the collective bargains of Nigerians he is entrusted to be fair to.


The apex Igbo socio-cultural organisation, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, in a recent statement through it secretary, as published by Guardian Newspaper, 20th May 2021, described the AGF as a “chief law officer that twists the law at will.


In his recent interview where the minister of justice of (Fulani herdsmen?)  faulted the resolution of the southern governors on the ban on open grazing, Malami further exposed his inability to distill issues as a senior advocate but rather allowing his Fulani sentiment becloud his sense of responsibility even at the detriment of millions of lives wasted by those he is seeking to protect.


To further flaunt his senselessness as regards matters of importance, the AGF likened a legitimate business of spare parts sells in a lockup shops to the mayhems unleashed by herders in the name of grazing.


The unchecked utterances of Malami further coincided with Bauchi state governor, Yaya Bello open support of arms carrying by the same herdsmen, a statement made when the country was plunged into life taking security situation orchestrated by this same Fulani herders.


With Malami statement further highlighting the fact that some tribe and citizens of the country are more important than the others, let it be emphatically stated that Malami do not deserve the position of the Attorney General Of Nigeria if the country truly seek the collective interest of all sundry.


Malami like Yaya Bello have, while serving as officer of the federal republic of Nigeria allow emotions and personal interest outweighed the collective interest and office they swore an oath to protect and defend.


Nigeria from all indications, especially with this kind of utterances seems a  bandwagon where the chief driver is a single ethnicity while others have no option than to keep quiet and endure the impending doom they driven to at such a high speed.


While Malami enjoy the backlashes on the afore, it should be known that only they ( Malami, Yaya Bello and the likes) can do this and go scout free


Nigeria, a bleeding Nigeria where some are more citizens than others.

DON'T LEAVE WHEN IT IS TOO LATE.

The story . Udauk was too weak to continue with the evening chores around the house because of her pregnancy. She bent over the kitchen cabinet in search of a tuber of yam she was to prepare before her husband returned from work. At the point of stretching her hands to reach the tuber of yam under the cabin, she felt a sharp pain down her abdomen. Her left lap was swollen from the beating she got the previous night from the monster's husband. She was still short of three months from her due month. That's when she was to put to birth. The shape pain was accompanied by a loud scream. She dropped the knife she had with her and tried to settle on a table-size stool lying close to the gas cylinder in the kitchen, but she couldn't. She fell and started screaming, reached out to her phone, and dialed her husband. Mr. Sam had branched  Madam G's Native Kitchen to settle for a while before heading home as his habit demands. He was busy at his usual joint with a bottle of chill

JOURNEY OF NO RETURN.

  The story. The atmosphere was heavy, that of apprehension and uncertainty as Iquo stared at the open space leading into the compound. It was around 10:33pm that evening.  A time in Ikot Ekim community when every household had put off their lamps and retired to bed. The nocturnal sound of night creatures made the night even more looming and intense.  Nsek has never stayed out so late no matter how fierce any argument with his wife was. In their 24 years of marriage, no matter the nature of the fights Iquo has had with her husband he will always come back home to rest in his hut.  As time ticked away, she stared at the open compound, struggling to fend off the call of nature with the hope her husband would appear at the far end of the compound.  Using her hand to support her chin, she wondered how things could change so fast. Her husband Nsek was no longer the man she married. He picked fights at every little argument and would end the night with curses, accusing Iquo of turning his on
