One cannot overemphasize the importance of quality reporting when conveying facts and opinions in order to enhance and ensure accurate information dissemination. Before going any further I would like to give kudos to all those highly respected professionals who have undoubtedly excelled in this respect and who have added value to the practice of journalism in Nigeria.
Today I have a series of questions to ask about the apparent fury of the Americans on the Al Megrahi issue: is such fury legitimate or justifiable? Should the Libyan intelligence agent Ali Al Megrahi (the so-called Lockerbie bomber) have been released on compassionate grounds to go and die at home by the Scottish Justice Secretary having been convicted of the bombing and having been given a life sentence? Was he really guilty of the bombing of that plane in the first place? Was there really a secret deal and would he have been released on "compassionate" grounds if Libya did not have vast oil reserves and was not now opening up to the world? Is the sense of outrage expressed by the American relatives of those that were murdered justified?

So much has been said and written about Chief Remilekun Fani-Kayode (Fani- Power) the former Deputy Premier of the Western Region of Nigeria in the last few decades but the truth is that outside the usual negative propaganda and historical distortions very little is actually known or appreciated about his massive contribution to both Nigeria's legal and political history. Even less is known about the rich and illustrious social, political and legal heritage from which he comes. This article is an attempt to give an insight into whom this man really was and to let people know about the notable contributions that he made to our history.
People often ask "why do you love God?" and yet the answer is simple and clear. I love God because He is God: the creator of all that is, the master of the universe and the source of all power and life. He holds the world together by the power of His word. He is high and lifted up and He alone is worthy of our praise. I love Him because He became a curse just for me.

The bitterness and hatred with which Owei Lakemfa wrote his piece (titled “Fani-Kayode: Tales His Father Told Him,” The Vanguard Newspaper, Nov 25th 2009) about Chief Femi Fani- Kayode and his late and highly respected father, the Balogun of Ife, Chief R.A Fani- Kayode Q.C., S.A.N, C.O.N clearly reveals the fact that he cannot be regarded as an impartial columnist who seeks to establish the truth but rather he can be seen more in the light of a subjective and venom- filled commentator who is on a hatchet job for unseen forces.

Born 16 days after Nigeria’s independence to Chief Remilekun Adetokunbo Fani-Kayode and Mrs. Adia Adunni Fani-Kayode, also a chief, Femi Fani-Kayode means different things to different people.…
Truth is constant and cannot be suppressed for long. It may be held down and pinned under the waters by a forceful and ruthless hand for sometime but it can never be forever.
The greatest asset that God has given us as human beings is the gift of free will and yet the exercise of this beautiful gift represents the very weakness of our being.
However you may feel today, whether happy or sad or whether hopeful or fearful, always remember this: that our future and fate as a nation will not be determined by anyone, any group of people or any government. It will not be eclipsed, marred, moulded or forged in the darkness of deceit or in the tunnels of misfortune, bitterness and trauma. Evil and heartless men shall not have their way forever in our country for though our night may be dark and seemingly endless, the beautiful rays of the bright morning sun shall one day surely come and with it bring light, comfort, joy and peace everlasting. Our ship of state shall one day be steered not by cruel, unfeeling and insensitive hearts but by the God of Heaven and by He alone.
You are all wonderful and courageous people and the most important thing u can do for me now is to pray concerning this matter. There is nothing that God cannot do. We shall take the land and dedicate it to Him.Do not be moved by the threats and rantings of the enemy or circumstances that seem insurmountable or impossible because that is where God begins.
Power and greatness are fought for and won. They are not given but rather they are taken. And a real man must resolve in his heart that he will either be great or he must die trying.
You speak tenderly and tender you are.
Tender is your skin and your body.
Tender are your ways and your words. Tender is your touch.
Tender is your beauty and…
