Nigerian Men And Their Foreign Wives: A Rejoinder. By Francis Kizito Obeya (GAMJI) If you grew up in Nigeria, you will understand where the macho ways of the naija man comes from.

(GAMJI) Calling the Sheikh an extremist betrays a lot on the part of Sanusi.

Observations On The New Constitution. By J.E. Iyobhebhe(GAMJI) If we are banning ex military rulers why stop at just those who have ruled as Head of State or Military President or Head of the SMC?

Nigeria’s Visa Ban Truths And Half-Truths. By Andrew Obinna Onyearu (GAMJI) This volte-face was as astonishing in its delivery as also in its effect. Unconfirmed statistics appear to suggest that approximately 30% of the applicants for Visa facilities in Nigeria are made by applicants in the category affected by the ban. The same category appears to be responsible for providing 82% of the refusals. It may be useful, at this stage, to examine the reason offered by the UK Immigration Authorities for this decision. Details

Illicit Gins, Fetishes, Primitive Culture? Just Marketing Techniques? By Paul I. Adujie (GAMJI) It came to pass, as is often the case in these sorts of friendly banters, that most of us wondered aloud why it now takes a non-Nigerian’s good tastes in things Nigerian, in Nigerian art, in the idea that Nigeria is wonderfully endowed with charitable, hospitable people, and the fact that Nigerians constitutes a bunch of amiable human beings on God’s wide earth, but why do Nigerians have to have a non-Nigerian to awaken or enliven our interests nay, appreciation of things Nigerian?

The Truth About Life In London. By Uche Nworah (GAMJI) If only Nigerians back home, who had never been ‘privileged’ to visit London before know of the life of toil and labour that their kinsmen in London suffer, then, they wouldn’t waste their time queuing up at the Walter Carrington Crescent offices of the United Kingdom High Commission, nor at the DHL offices for drop-box UK visas. Details
Problems with Creating Six Super Regional Governments. By J.E.Iyobhebhe (GAMJI) Merging all the Yoruba speaking states in the south -west and Igbos of the South East will give rise to tendencies that may get out of hand again.

Replying Sanusi Lamido's Article on Sheikh Ja'afar (I). By Isa Muhammad Inuwa Sanusi Lamido's wanton growing wings and looming air of self-worship began to show few years back when he wrote, gropingly seeking to debunk Shari'a provisions and prosecutions on certain connection with a widow Safiya Hussein in Zamfara State and similar cases. Also when Sanusi subsequently wrote cherishing reverend Mathew Hassan Kukah, he was seen by many observers as attempting to open yet another flood-gate of controversy for a pea-nut market-place measure of self importance. Details
(GAMJI) Sanusi is not an outcast as Fatimah wrote. Sanusi has established himself as an icon. His rare ability to marshal out his points in a coherent manner, to weld the pen and paper (read keyboard) like an arrow, to combine his love of his religion and people with the understanding of other sections of the nation is rare even among other ethnicities. Details
Sanusi Lamido Sanusi’s Narcissism and self glorification. By Muhammad Jameel Yusha’u (GAMJI) One of the hot arguments in Nigeria in recent years is the issue of indigenes and settlers as signified in the Plateau State crisis. Unknown to many, even the so called intellectuals subscribe to that idea. Listen to Sanusi Lamido Sanusi “The truth is that, by virtue of Divine providence and the circumstances of my birth, up-bringing and education, I have no need to announce my ethnic, religious, racial or family background, nor seek recognition on that basis. Details
(GAMJI) If indeed I understood Sanusi properly and got the drift of Fatimah’s response I have to say that she didn’t address the central issue contained in the article even though she raised important fresh issues. Sanusi’s main task was to “deconstruct the origins of his perverted (i. e. Ja’far’s ) morally empty conception of what is a true sense of Muslim of Fulani identity”. Details
Between Sanusi Lamido and Sheik Jafar Adam. By Hajara Yakubu Wanka (GAMJI) Wish I could borrow a leaf by breaking this truce to see my two heroes settle war to peace. To burry the hatchet rather than ending up chasing the shadow. As good Muslims and good people. Exchanging articles or interviews wouldn’t make them better but worst. If they can’t settle their dispute they should keep mute for only Allah knows the best among us all. Details
