I am really scared now. My state of mind has gone from “concerned” to “really scared and despondent” now, when it comes to Nigeria. Over the past two weeks, indeed over the past one month, things have really gone from bad to worse for me.I am scared for myself, my family, my people (all Nigerians), Nigeria itself.

May, 28, 2009Raynard JacksonPresident Obama’s pick of judge Sonia Sotomayor was a supreme choice. I say this not for all the conventional reasons one would expect.Before I explain my position, let me establish a few facts that will give you the context for my position.First, a president is entitled to have his nominees confirmed, unless a disqualifying issue is discovered. Disagreeing with a person on abortion, gay rights, or affirmative action are not disqualifying issues. Non payment of taxes,

That is why "reality" shows (Freud would have a field day wi
