Pandora opened a jar left in her care containing sickness, death and many other unspecified evils which were then released into the world. Though she hastened to close the container, only one thing was left behind, hope. If one could infer from this myth, surely the lock holding the box of Pandora together was surely shame,  for it was Prometheus loss of shame that allowed him to break the box, thus all forms of evil flowed and bedeviled mankind henceforth. Guy Burgess refers to "guilt mobilization" as the act of forcing people to recognize the contradictions between what they say and what they do. Martin Luther King and other nonviolent civil rights leaders mobilized the white's guilt, when they made clear the discrepancy between white American's deep-ro

  The re-emergence of the Junta  Habee b Lawal Military coup ravages Africa like many part of the 3rd world in the early 50s till the late 90s, Africa as a continent also suffers its fair share in several military coups within its continent, where selected mostly young and able military personnel took over government forcefully, either by killing the existing government or forcefully dethronement. This also involves them taking over key governmental institutions, communication site, declaring new decrees and compulsory suspension of the pre-existing constitutions so they can prove the dawn of military council as the highest law making body of the land. Emannuel Bodjolle lead the first coup that brought about the paradigm shift and trajectory towards a new phase of military intervention and toppling of civilian government across almost all African state, this military coup ousted Togolese President Sylvanus Olympio in 1963.

Osinbajo and the Call of Destiny Deng Xiaoping was an unassuming man, a man of small physical stature, but with a mind that giants will envy. Prior to and post-Mao's demise, Deng was not initially part of Mao's likely successors, but succeed him he did after an interlude and his stewardship led to the greatest period of success in material human history. Human history is a history of patterns, empires rise and fall, alliances made and broken. Nigeria's political history is filled with 'patterns' or instances of 'outsiders' coming into the driving seat, from the unassuming Balewa in the first republic, to the reluctant Shagari in the second republic, to the quiet and introspective Yar'Adua in the fourth republic and lucky Goodluck.
