“Minister of defence Bello Matawalle you will answer to God, the blood of these innocent people is on you. We don’t care about politics, we have to tell the world you are lying. This is your constituency, you promised to send troops to protect these people”.

Late President Umaru Musa Yar'Adua did not attempt to pocket the judiciary; rather, he obeyed the rule of law during his tenure as Nigeria's president, unlike what we are seeing today.— Sheikh Dr. Bashir Aliyu

[Scholarship for PhD @ScholarshipfPhd]

Most PhD students ask:

“How do I get published?”

The better question is:

“How do I become the kind of researcher whose work gets published?”

A classic paper from 2005 still gives timeless advice:

Read papers critically.
Be objective about your own work.
Listen to reviewers.
Write clearly.
Learn to handle rejection.
Start writing early.

Publishing isn't a single breakthrough it's the result of habits repeated over years.

Which of these rules do you find hardest to follow?

A woman asked children for directions. Hours later, she was dead because a crowd decided she was guilty of something she never did.
My latest column examines the lynching of Malama Ummulkhair, Nigeria's culture of mob justice, and the institutional failures that keep feeding it. Every Nigerian is one scream away from becoming the next victim.

The bandits are cawords. Once you matched their fire power, they will have no choice but to retreat and run in dessarey.

The security agencies should be empowered with the right combat enablers, these miscreants will be crushed.
