For nearly three weeks, people from both sides of the political spectrum have asked, "Where's Hillary Clinton's comments on Ferguson?" Which is to be expected. She's a very prominent public figure and likely [Read More...]

Sometimes I just sit back in awe of how ridiculous people can be. I get that I'm somewhat part of the "media" and a large part of what I do is dissecting comments made by politicians. But like with most [Read More...]

In the eyes of many progressives and civil rights advocates, the police shooting of unarmed black teenager Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri earlier this month was a tragic and familiar story: the latest example of the law enforcement community's prejudiced administration of justice.
Now, a group of notables and activists, joined by several members of the Congressional Black Caucus, are demanding the establishment of a federal police "czar," employed by the Justice Department, to oversee local law enforcement practices and help prevent racial bias in policing.

"In cities across America, local law enforcement units too often treat low-income neighborhoods populated by African Americans and Latinos as if they are military combat zones instead of communities where people strive to live, learn, work, play and pray in peace and harmony," explained a letter to President Obama posted as an advertisement in Monday's Washington Post.
The letter was signed by more than 100 people, including CBC Chairwoman Marcia Fudge, D-Ohio, AFL-CIO president Richard Trumka, and Jim Wallis, the president of Sojourners, a left-leaning faith-based organization.
Brown is "is only the latest in a long list of black men and boys who have died under eerily similar circumstances," the letter added. "The pattern is too obvious to be a coincidence and too frequent to be a mistake."

In wake of Ferguson shooting, progressives demand federal police czar
The All Progressives Congress and the Ikeja branch of the Nigerian Bar Association, on Thursday said the rallies being held for President Goodluck Jonathans second term bid was violating measures put in place to avert the spread of the Ebola Virus Disease.
Also, prominent legal practitioner, Prof. Itse Sagay (SAN), in a separate interview with our correspondent, described the continuation of the rallies as misplaced priority.
The All Progressives Congress, in a statement issued by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, in Ilorin on Thursday, called on President Jonathan to direct the campaigners to stop the rallies.
The party said the rallies were capable of jeopardising the nations efforts to address the spread of the Ebola disease.
It stated, Mr. President, you said your ambition is not worth the life of any Nigerian. But the Transformation Ambassadors of Nigeria rallies for your re-election are endangering the lives of thousands of Nigerians in these days of Ebola.
It said the President must in particular ensure that the rally slated for Port Harcourt on Saturday was stopped.

Ebola: APC, NBA ask Jonathan to stop second term rallies
The camp of Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd) in the All Progressives Congress on Wednesday dispelled speculations that the former military Head of State has dropped his aspiration to contest the 2015 Presidency on the grounds that he is too old.
Comments:
Nasir: What we are looking for in this country is beyond old age. What we are looking for is who is going to rescue this country from the hand of evil people who have turned Nigeria into an Automated Teller Machine. We want somebody that can re-unite this country despite the situation we are now. We want somebody that can fight corruption to a standstill. Thus, old age shouldnt matter in this circumstance. Whether Buhari is 100 years or above, as far as he believes he can rescue us from our current ugly situation, he should give the Presidency his best shot.
Osakue Aiyevbekpen: In a digital age where the average age of world leaders is 45, why do we need a former military dictator as President? How can such a man understand the intricacies of a world governed by ideas and be able to engage leaders of industries on new economic platforms, the language of which has changed? Are there no brighter and smarter young men in the All Progressives Congress who understand the nuances of the present world? Anyone promoting Buhari for his rigidity and discipline is out of touch with the flexibility imperative of democracy. Buhari is too out of fashion to be President of modern Nigeria!
The Beloved: While I do not hold forth for Buhari, I do not have problem with the age of anyone when it comes to governance provided he has something good to deliver. One of our major problems is stealing of public funds and this is happening in most of our local governments, constituencies, states and at the federal level. People stealing this fund are not really old people. So if Buhari wants to contest election, let it be.
