Now that they have stopped the moving train | The Guardian Nigeria News - Nigeria and World News
Supporters of Nigeria’s ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) are fond of telling their critics they “can’t stop a moving train.” In Kaduna, on March 28, the moving train of the APC derailed both as fact and as metaphor. The following day, on March 29, the second leg of the Nigeria-Ghana World Cup qualifier was to occur. For that first leg, across the geographical space of Nigeria and its various diversities, they all seemed to wish the Super Eagles well in Kumasi. When he addressed the Convention, the president remarkably did not cite one area in which the country had made progress under his watch. The APC Convention took no notice.

Lessons from Ms Ogbulu’s Petrol Souvenir incident | The Guardian Nigeria News - Nigeria and World News
According to news reports Ogbulu had, during her installation party as Erelu Okin, distributed Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) in plastic containers as souvenirs. For a socialite with such coveted title as Erelu, Ms Ogbulu is supposed to be royalty, a tradition aristocrat of sort. By effecting an expeditious prosecution of Ms Ogbulu, the Lagos State government was expressing a function of legal paternalism and acting as a forceful moral guardian at the same time. Thus the Lagos State government acted timely, decisively and efficiently. Lagos State is fast becoming a haven of big people carrying on with impunity.
