Justice Walter Onnoghen The Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Justice Walter Onnoghen, might likely be arraigned on Monday before the Danladi Umar-led three-man panel of the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT) for allegedly failing to declare his assets as stipulated by law. In view of the circumstance, the federal government has asked him to vacate office over alleged corrupt practices. The call for CJN’s resignation followed an application filed by the Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB) before the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT) for CJN’s arraignment and commencement of his trial on a six-count charge levelled against him by the Code of Conduct Tribunal. A civil society group under the name, Anti-corruption and Research-Based Data Initiative (ARDI) had purportedly petitioned the CCB over some alleged illegal transactions discovered in the bank accounts of the CJN. The letter dated January 7, bore a CCB ‘received’ stamp allegedly from the office of the chairman of the bureau on Januar...
By Sani Dikko I know the pains and challenges of leadership. A leader who is genuinely concerned about the peace and welfare of his people, but faced with seemingly intractable problems on this path, agonizes every day and night pondering a solution. Kashim Shettima But I also absolutely believe that positively deploying the potency of past experiences in leadership is very rewarding. It assists the leader immensely in avoiding pitfalls of yesterday to package today’s governance demands in a manner that provides durable solutions to etch his name in history’s gold books. The two-tenured Governor of Borno State, Alhaji Kashim Shettima regrettably finds himself in this dilemma at the moment. His nightmare is the sudden resurgence of Boko Haram insurgency in his state. I vividly remember when he roared at former President Goodluck Jonathan about the raging, uncontrollable fires of insurgency in his domain; and the government’s docile and complacent posturing in arresting...
Super Eagles striker, Odion Ighalo, has emerged as an option for Barcelona, who want to sign a No. 9 in the winter window, to cover for the departures of Munir El Haddadi and Denis Suarez, according to Sport. The La Liga champions want a low-cost option to complete the squad. Ighalo has many offers to return to Europe, after leaving Watford to play for Changchun Yatai in China for two years. Changchun Yatai have been relegated to the second division and Ighalo wants to come back to European football. He has three offers from the Premier League, but Barca will be an attractive option. Barca’s scouts know Ighalo well as he was at Granada. He scored 12 and 15 goals in his two seasons with Watford, who sold him to China for 25m. The Nou Camp side also want a player they can rotate with Luis Suarez.
