As I was concluding this piece, my eyes caught a presidential sledgehammer which landed on the head of Conscience Nurtured by Truth – The Guardian. In a release issued by the State House yesterday, authored by erstwhile Editor-in-Chief of TheNews, Bayo Onanuga, the newspaper was accused of a crime almost similar to what General Sani Abacha accused it of in 1994 which led to its closure.

It is also…

In all of our nearly 37 years together on the Faculty at Ibadan, I cannot now remember exactly when I first met Professor Matthew Temitayo Shokunbi in the course of his tour of duty at the University of Ibadan. He had joined the University of Ibadan as far back as October 1980, at which time I was still an undergraduate student in the same institution. He was based in the Department of Anatomy with a joint appointment with the Department of Surgery, as a Honorary Consultant with the University College Hospital.
