http://www.wesjones.com/eoh.htm (14.09.08) WWW.euclidabz.blogspot.com The End of History?*  Francis Fukuyama** IN WATCHING the flow of events over the past decade or so, it is hard to avoid the feeling that something very fundamental has happened in world history. The past year has seen a flood of articles commemorating the end of the Cold War, and the fact that "peace" seems to be breaking out in many regions of the world. Most of these analyses lack any larger conceptual framework for distinguishing between what is essential and what is contingent or accidental in world history, and are predictably superficial. If Mr. Gorbachev were ousted from the Kremlin or a new Ayatollah proclaimed the millennium from a desolate Middle Eastern capital, these same commentators would scramble to announce the rebirth of a new era of conflict. And yet, all of these people sense dimly that there is some larger process at work, a process that gives coherence and order to the daily headli...

By Osuolale Alalade The struggle of the Goodluck Jonathan administration to entrench itself in power or engineer the takeover of an interim administration has a historical context. Notwithstanding the many paradoxes thrown up by the sad state of affairs, the dilemma that Nigerians face represent an encouraging turn of democratic advancement of the country. In 1993, the Nigeria Army, as the guarantor of northern hegemonic pretension with a very deceptive “maradona” General Ibrahim Babaginda at the helm of affairs, nullified what remain the fairest and most transparent democratic elections in the country. By this treasonable act, the northern dominated military brought the country close to the very edge of the precipice. Accordingly, 12 June, the anniversary of those elections, in the minds of the true progressive nationalists, has since remained the watershed for democratic entry into the Nigerian political firmament. The final outcome of June 12 saga was ...

BY JF. Dabo (Jubalfreemandabo@gmai.com) PREAMBLE National President of the Arewa Youth Forum, Alhaji Gambo Ibrahim Gujungu, and his band of selfish minds have dared to intimidate Fani Kayode with whatever threats they could. It is so sad that till today, the Arewa youth Forum have not learned to grow above using threats even when it is obvious that they cannot do more than saying what they publish. I would be totally disappointed to be associated with such a group as a member. Arewa Youth Forum have noted that Fani-Kayode’s alleged lies against Buhari were aimed at creating tension and chaos in the country for his selfish interest. What that means is what I am still to figure out. But what lay revealing is the fact that this forum came operating the Northern way. Of cause the sound of her voice is by no way a divergence from the popular Northern Hausa/Fulani approach to matters. THE MATTER We should note that the former Minister’s comment simply suggests that Buhari ...

A Chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Alhaji Isa Ciroma, has debunked Governor Nasir El-Rufai’s claim that the wanton killings and destruction of lives and property in Southern Kaduna is connected to the 2011 post-election violence. Ciroma denied the claim while fielding questions from journalists in Kafanchan, stressing that the killings in Southern Kaduna had nothing to do with the 2011 post-election violence that was fought in many parts of Northern Nigeria. “There is no record of Fulani herders from Mali or elsewhere coming to Southern Kaduna as Governor El-Rufai claimed. The Fulani I know in Southern Kaduna are the Kachechere people. “The Fulani men they said intruded in Southern Kaduna, l don’t know them. I have not seen them and I don’t talk to them. They could be there but I don’t see them,” Ciroma added. “l am 60 years of age and l have been living in Southern Kaduna. If there is anything like foreign Fulanis ...

By Ikechukwu Nnochiri ABUJA – The Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Mr. Abubakar Malami, SAN, Tuesday, justified the arrest and detention of judges by operatives of the Department of State Service, DSS, saying “no one is or should be above the law”. Malami, who had on Monday, shunned a valedictory court session the Supreme Court held in honour of one of its retired Justices, Suleiman Galadima, broke his silence on the matter after he inaugurated an Expert Review Committee on implementation of the United Nations Convention Against Corruption (UNCAC). Asked about his view on the raid and subsequent arrest of seven superior court Judges, including two Justices of the Supreme Court, Malami said: “Was there an allegation of crime? Was there relevant provision of criminal procedure responsible for investigation? “Is there an allegation of corruption? If there is, no body, no matter how highly placed will be spared. ...

By J.F. Dabo With the prevailing case in southern Kaduna, a much marginalized and victim of what I call a 'religio-political', sectional, bias, unjust and hateful system from those who ordinarily should be call brothers. The Hausa-fulani of Kaduna State, Nigeria. What one sees today possess a question, is the education in northern Nigeria different from the normal education we ordinarily expect a fellow to have in this 21st century? How comes the Southern Kaduna who goes to the north to be educated comes out as expected but the northern kaduna youth mostly comes out worst than he went? This second question will reveal then that their is a plan with which the subject is educated. Immediately I ask such question I find it pitiful that a youth would be made to grow as majority of northern Kaduna youth grow. And to think that this is planned by the very same old men who should be wise and wish well their offsprings. Sadly, this old men are going to the grave building a hell fo...
