The Hullabaloo Of ‘All Eyes On The Judiciary’

 By Sola Ebiseni

The powers that be in the country seem enamoured of an unimaginable propensity to create problems where none ought to exist or act on impulse to unwittingly add to and magnify a problem in finding solutions thereto. It all has to do with the paternalistic psychology of l’etait cest moi (I am the state) attributed to Louis XIV of France on April 13, 1665, before the Parliament of Paris in his perception and exercise of absolute state powers.

It is such idols that propelled such an off-the-cuff monumental declaration of the removal of fuel subsidy, obviously without rumination or genuine consultations resulting in debilitating socioeconomic problems the nation is not likely to be relieved of soon. It was with the same disdain for the citizens and their representatives that an unprovoked war was declared virtually on our soil before seeking the concurrence of parliament.
