(OPINION) CJN Suspension: Tyranny in Democracy. By Oladeji Olaniyan
"It is aspiring tyrants who say that 'civil liberties end when an attack on our safety begins.' Conversely, leaders who wish to preserve the rule of law find other ways to speak about real terrorist threats, and certainly do not invent them or deliberately make them worse." those are the words of a great American author Timothy Synder. let me to borrow some lines from a role model's column in the field, Mr lasisi olagunji is columnist with Nigeria tribunes, in one of his column titled "don't struggle when you are raped" it reads "A Cable News Network (CNN) journalist in a recent report posed as a willing victim of human trafficking to Europe.

Editorial: Security of OAU students’ lives and properties at stake, a wake-up call to management, police.
[Picture used to illustrate robbery attack] One can’t feign ignorance of the recent threats to security of lives and properties in Ile-Ife environs, particularly in the student-dominated places, except one wants to be a hypocrite. Students and residents of these robbers’ den cannot sleep with their two eyes closed for the fear of being burgled or losing their lives to the attack. With the foregoing, the authorities of Obafemi Awolowo University, with 72% of her students living off-campus, seems to be unconcerned even after losing a student to a robbery attack few weeks ago.

I needed a break, a new environment, I needed to talk to a neutral somebody, I had had enough of the routine, there's this thing 'Deronmu said to me one time, you have to be 70%mentally and 30%physically balanced to be termed normal, I was way below 5%, have you ever had this nothing-is-working feeling?, yeah, that was it, different sad real life ads popping on my page at the same time, you could call me depressed I would...
