  The Eternal Vigil: An Interrogation of Nigeria’s Landmark Supreme Court Decisions -Dr Olukayode Ajulo, OON, SAN In the grand theatre of Nigerian constitutionalism, the Supreme Court has never been a mere spectator. It has stood as the vigilant sentinel; sometimes audacious, sometimes cautious, guarding the fragile edifice of democracy, federalism, and human dignity against the tempests of military fiat, electoral intrigue, and cultural inertia.  The cases under consideration are not dusty precedents; they are living monuments, each a philosophical inquiry into the soul of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and how our Republic has feared..  They compel us to ask: When does a court transcend adjudication to become an architect of the nation?  When does restraint become courage, and activism, wisdom? The Bedrock of All Justice: Madukolu v. Nkemdilim (1962) No edifice can stand without foundations. In Madukolu & Ors v. Nkemdilim (1962), the Federal Supreme Court—per ...

 OPINION: WITCHES, PASTORS, AND THE ABDICATION OF RESPONSIBILITY IN YORUBALAND By Bamidele Ademola-Olateju For along time, I wanted to write this. Today I found the time and inspiration to touch a very painful truth, deserving serious examination among the Yoruba. Belief in witches is destroying Yorubaland, not in some abstract, philosophical way, but in the most practical and intimate sense.

The deeper problem is that every life challenge is now interpreted as witchcraft. Illness is no longer a biological event or a medical condition; it is a spiritual attack. ...
