THE DRIFT BEGINS AGAIN?

In 1978, I wrote a series of articles, as a NEWBREED Magazine Editor,
highlighting very obvious cracks in the then General Obasanjo's regime. This led, eventually, to the proscibing of NEWBREED Magazine, making that pace-setting gloss-and-inestigative-journalism paper the very first news-medium to be negatively impacted by any Nigerian government after the nation's independence in 1960!

Whilst the government chose to state to the world that it cracked down because of an interview the late Chief Obafemi Awolowo granted the paper exclusively then, all the major players in government and the madia industry knew that its real gripe was with a couple of those writings, including "Police, Guns, & Students", "The Utility Value Of The NSO", and "The Drift Begins"; the last of this trio being an indictment of the leadership with a prophetic warning against the very phenomena that OBJ & Murtala Muhammed & co. had exploited to overthrow the Gowon administration...

Today, once again, there's a need to warn OBJ that Nigeria has resumed that ominous drift...and that this time, it could lead us all over the edge into a holocaustic abyss!

To be forewarned....Verbum sat!

Shalom!!!
