ENDSARS; URGENT NEED FOR NIGERIA POLICE REFORM In the last few days, we have been observing with keen interest how the Nigerian youths have taken to the streets over the police brutality by the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) unit of the Nigeria Police. The action which has been condemned by Nigerians at home and abroad; including the international mainstream media is making waves and generates headlines globally. No doubt, the resilience and determination exhibited by the Nigerian youths showed that the future of the country is bright if the political leaders give them a chance to voice out their grievances. We did not expect a responsive government to deny these youths just like other citizen?s freedom of speech and expression. Why must the Nigeria Police shoot live bullets at .... Read More

And many people have come to assume that this threat is the measure of its preparedness to team up, whenever confronted by any upset within the federation, with other countries of the Sahara with whom it has at least the same religion and the same faith" -Drum May 1960 In the beginning Sometimes the pains associated with freedom outweigh its benefits, especially where there is poor leadership. The bane of such ills spread like a virus so fast that it eroded values orientation quickly. From generation to the other, our dear nation continues to leapfrog on the path to greatness.

Family is a primary social group consisting of parents and children or a social unit living together while instability means a state of disequilibrium.
