Mallam Sanusi Lamido Sanusi whose five-year term as governor of the
Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) terminates May 31, 2014 has served an exit
notice. Sanusi had at a number of fora said that he would not seek a
second term as CBN governor. This leaves President Goodluck Jonathan
with the task of looking for a suitable successor to Sanusi. If the
search for a suitable governor for the Bank of England could take the
British Prime Minister, David Cameron, to far away Canada, we can bet
that the search for a new CBN governor must be a daunting task for
President Jonathan.

wrong messenger.

Introduction
The granting of state pardon to eight Nigerians who have hitherto been generally regarded as ex-convicts by President Goodluck Jonathan through the institution of National Council of State three weeks ago set the polity aglow with controversy, nay sharp criticisms against the President.

Tokunboism: Descent to Underdevelopment?

Time was in Nigeria when second hand (used, whether fairly or not) items
were anathema to majority of the populace. People using them were more
often than not treated with contempt. A child putting on, for example, a
used cloth usually attracted derisive comments from peers and turned
into butt of taunts and unbridled ridicule. A fresh graduate then would
not think of working for about five years before buying a fairly used
vehicle (aka Tokunbo vehicle). He had a brand new one waiting for him on
taking up an appointment! The issue then was what brand of vehicle to
take and not whether it was new or fairly used.

Nigeria today presents test ground for numerous conjectures. There
have been many frightening interpretations of happenings in our nation,
almost foreboding an inevitable catastrophe.
The reasons for such fears are natural. Security incidents and upscale ethnic-inspired violence are common signs of weak cohesive strengths, if not breakdowns.
