Man Sets himself on fire In Abuja, Hours Before The New Year.
Awolowo Was Greater Than Mandela, Writer/Poet Odia Ofeimun Says ( Do you agree ?)
In an interview with Sahara TV, the writer, poet & social critique said late premier of the old Western region, Chief Obafemi Awolowo, was a greater man than South African anti-apartheid revolutionary, Dr. Nelson Mandela.
I
am too much of an Awolowo man not to see that the process of moving

same pattern. It was based on a negotiated settlement. The liberation
struggle did not create the end of apartheid. It was a negotiation and
Nigerians negotiated exactly the way Mandela negotiated.

US border guards can now search travelers’ laptops and other electronic gadgets without a show of reasonable suspicion. The ruling that human rights groups argue is just another example of aggressive government surveillance came Tuesday, after a US federal judge dismissed a lawsuit challenge on the border search policy.
The suit was filed by American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) on behalf of Pascal Abidor, a scholar with dual US-French citizenship, more than three years ago. Abidor said he was sitting in the train's cafe car when an officer forced him to take out his laptop and enter password.
