Just when one thinks he or she has heard the worst that could happen in this country of ours, some other news seemingly crops out from nowhere to knock one off his saddle. The Senator as a coward
By Reuben Abati"I am so angry if I see that fellow called Senator Nuhu Aliyu, I will call him a coward and an irresponsible fellow to his face. Being a Senator does not give him the right to take Nigerians for granted."

Being without ears refers to a certain obduracy, a peculiar inability to appreciate the truth. I see the same problem in the Yar'Adua presidency, seven months down the line.Nuhu Ribadu: The Anti-Corruption Cop They Feared
Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, until recently, Chairman of Nigeria's Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) is our Man of the Year, 2007. The context of his selection is worth defining.
