PATH TO GENUINE CITIZENSHIP by Yemi Obideyi


The Vision of the New Nigeria provides for a re-definition of citizenship of the country. A new name, a new orientation, a new method or approach to governance. A shift from the mentality of old because the new is conceived of and constructed on ideals that connote higher values than the usual ethnic background, biological history or any of such things that marked out the old pattern as a mere shadow.

WHEN THE LAW IS BLIND By Yemi Obideyi - Part 1




The heavens and earth are positioned on the strength of law. Freedom and bondage are both functions of one law or the other.
Law making is an essential part of life for it is the bedrock of nationhood. The birth of a nation, the composition and running of its arms of government- the Legislature, Judiciary and Executive- are all derived from the instruments of the law.

Essentially, the law provides the framework upon which the institution of government is situated; it guides citizens’ daily activities and gives a clue on the nature, features and direction of a government in focus.
