VIGILANTE JUSTICE IN NIGERIA: A THROWBACK TO THE DARK AGES by Kwadwo Kyei
Anyone who is familiar with Nigeria will readily agree that violent
crime is a major problem in the vast African nation. Not that other African
nations have no experience whatsoever with this profound social ill. Far
from it. The difference here between Nigeria and the other African countries
stems from the enormous scale of criminal activities in Nigeria by armed
gangs, which is matched only by the country’s huge size. Armed robberies
are more rampant and more brazen in their execution in Nigeria than they
are anywhere else on the African continent. Tangled Roots - A Response Ambassador Joseph Amamoo Barrister/Writer, Former Deputy of Minister of Health in Ghana, Ex-Ambassador to Hungary. PASCAL ZACHARY’s article titled Tangled Roots, which originally appeared
in the Wall Street Journal, and was reprinted in the Chicago Sun Times,
needs a careful response, as it r aises many issues of paramount interest
and concern to not only African-Americans but also to Africans, especially
Ghanaians, whether living in the United States of America or not. UNDERSTANDING CHILDREN AND THEIR TEMPERAMENTS (PART V) Pastor Amos Owoseni The Choleric child makes a good leader and organizer outside the
home. He is an effective person at school or a leader of any group. He
disciplines others and is often feared and respected. He discharges his
duties well and puts everyone to work. His unsympathetic attitude and
bossy nature makes him anti-social. He may be admired by the authorities
but certainly will not be a friend to the students. He is usually not
a friendly person. He runs shod over others to get the best or achieve
his aim. |
