Abubakar Malami: Chief law officer as law breaker by Chido Onumah - Commentary@ITREALMS
Commentary@ITREALMS ... making leadership SENSE with digital news!
Abubakar Malami, SAN, was the Honourable Attorney General and Minister of Justice of Nigeria for eight years under late President Muhammadu Buhari. As Minister of Justice, and one of the youngest minsters in the Buhari cabinet, when he was appointed on November 8, 2015, he prided himself on being the chief law officer of the country. I shall return to this. As the chief law officer, his responsibilities included providing legal advice to the government and ensuring compliance with the law.

Abubakar Malami, SAN, was the Honourable Attorney General and Minister of Justice of Nigeria for eight years under late President Muhammadu Buhari.

I shall return to this. As the chief law officer, his responsibilities included providing legal advice to the government and ensuring compliance with the law.
In a June 28, 2020, essay “Malami: Portrait of a ‘Barrier-in-Chief’” published on the whistleblowing platform, Corruption Anonymous (CORA), my colleague, Godwin Onyeacholem, wrote, “Malami is one in the privileged club of distinguished lawyers who tag their names with that smug title of SAN (Senior Advocate of Nigeria), a legal title keenly coveted by the typical Nigerian lawyer. But he also comes across as one who is essentially unfaithful to the law. As in a number of other appointments, Buhari’s choice of Malami for the pivotal office had, from the outset, been viewed by the more discerning segment of the populace as a dreadful miscue.”
Rebutting historical misinformation on Igbo origins by Ogbuefi Remmy Nweke | Commentary@ITREALMS
Commentary@ITREALMS ... making leadership SENSE with digital news!
Recent claims circulated by Mr. Adedamola Adetayo regarding the origins of the Igbo people require careful correction. Public discourse on history carries a responsibility to rely on verifiable scholarship rather than conjecture, speculation, or ethnically charged narratives.
While debate is healthy in a democratic society, historical claims must be grounded in credible research, archaeology, linguistics, and peer-reviewed historiography.

The invisible:
Microorganisms, while invisible to the naked eye, exert a profound influence on human life. These organisms; comprising bacteria, viruses, fungi, protozoa, and microscopic algae, are foundational to our health, food systems, industrial processes, and the environment.
Microorganisms, while invisible to the naked eye, exert a profound influence on human life. These organisms; comprising bacteria, viruses, fungi, protozoa, and microscopic algae, are foundational to our health, food systems, industrial processes, and the environment.
Consequently, the relationship between humanity and the microbial world is both essential and deeply practical. Understanding this relationship allows societies to prevent disease, produce safe food, develop life-saving medicines, and manage natural resources responsibly.

Frank Mba’s rapid rise to DIG once seemed a masterstroke. REMMY NWEKE in this WeekendDigits@ITREALMS, explores how this ‘Accelerated Promotion’ eventually created a career ceiling, turning professional momentum into a complex leadership trap.
Paradox of the Peak:
In the complex theater of Nigerian paramilitary politics, a promotion is not always an elevation; sometimes, it is a sophisticated exit strategy.
In the complex theater of Nigerian paramilitary politics, a promotion is not always an elevation; sometimes, it is a sophisticated exit strategy.
The recent appointment of AIG Tunji Disu as the Acting Inspector-General of Police (IGP) has brought the meteoric rise of DIG Frank Mba into sharp, painful focus.
For many Nigerians, particularly those of South-Eastern extraction, the puzzle pieces that were scattered in mid-2023 have finally formed a coherent, albeit unsettling, picture.
