Scary movie! The Chief of Army Staff Mr. Buratai, thrilled Nigerians recently when he opined that some suspected military/civilian coup plotters are booming about town freestyle. Don 't worry, be happy! We have a special kind of democracy. Don 't we? Meanwhile, while would-be coup plotters are on loose-foot, the Nigerian army are chasing innocent Biafran women protesting for their human rights. I miss the late Reggae torch-bearer Bob Marley. He would already be chanting "... everyone is crying out for peace, no one is crying for justice. .. I dont need no peace. I need, equal right and justice ..." That is by the way. Is there any reason why the Presidency has not uttered a word about the possible military putsch? On the other hand, …show more content…
What should be done to checkmate this hovering ill on the runway? The Federal government should jump in and take control of the whole situation and bring the plot movers and shakers to justice without fearing any face. To start with, Aso Rock should tell Nigerians exactly what is going on. Dereliction of responsibilities and keeping Nigerians in the dark is old-school Machiavellian way of administration. It has no place in modern leadership dictionary. We need to be updated as to what is happening in our country if we are still practising democracy. As they say: democracy, is government of the people, by the people and for the people. It is scandalous that the Presidency has not said a word over this matter since it came to the limelight, while the UK and other international movers and shakers have blasted military incursion. Exactly what should be the meaning of Aso Rock silence? Is there a dirty trick to hide something - or, is it just the usual well-studied method of government hiding vital information from the citizens, could it be that Aso Rock dont believer Buratai, or the normal laziness to act which made this regime to use six months to appoint ministers? Whatever it is, the government 's lack of word and action on this matter is totally unacceptable. The earlier they act upon this very burning matter of state, the better for man and
One’s ability and need to love reflects the sole purpose of being human, it begins at birth and carries on throughout adolescent years and adulthood, but contrary to the simplicity of loving a person, when one experiences an inability to express their love and gratitude for a person, it takes an incredibly unimaginable toll on his/her mental and emotional stability which in due time results in a form of depression. The feeling of depression emerges from the low spirits and loss of hope and courage accompanying a person, and while each case of depression varies in effect, the movie, The babadook, expresses its severe control, capable and detrimental power over a person, and the extreme coping measures. In the movie The Babadook, depression abruptly
Lonnie Rashid Lynn, whose stage name is Common, dramatizes a call for peace in his "A Letter to the Law. " The letter turns out to be, at least, an open letter, because not only does his speaker address the law, but he also addresses his fellow travelers, his revolutionary compatriots. Because this piece is spoken/sung in dialect, this analysis does not comment on fractured grammar. First Movement: "Dem boy wanna talk like dem wanna gon come" Speaking in dialect, the speaker of this piece begins by noting that some boys talk big but do not have the power to accomplish much. He asks, "what you gone do when you got one gun?"- implying that they need much more firepower to be effective in their struggle for revolution.
Book Review 2: Soldiers, Statesmen, and Cold War Crises by Richard Betts Summary: Betts starts off his book by recognizing the ambiguity around the advocacy of the use of force in a crisis by military leaders even though there is a prevalent assumption that military professionals are more aggressive than diplomats and politicians. He states he writes the book in order to provide a comprehensive survey of the postwar role of American military men in decisions on their most essential function, their use of force in combat. Betts acknowledges the vast availability of literature on military participation in decisions on defense budgets and weapons procurement, but feels there is a void when looking at decision-making from the perspective of military leadership versus civilian leadership.

Art of Film: Dead Man The Film Dead Man starring Jonny Depp, a classic western with cowboys, guns, horses, and Indians, I personally thought the film was quite strange, however I did enjoy the soundtrack, the single guitar with the unique patterns that matched the situations and motions perfectly, even though I am not a huge fan of westerns as a genre I will agree that the movie was pretty different from a normal westerns. In the beginning of the movie the main character William Blake (Johnny Depp) is shown on a train with other people like him, well dressed and proper, as the train takes us to Blakes destination the scenery goes from looking like a life filled prairie with fields and trees and slowly with each location it gets more and more desolate and alarming. Each time you see the changing landscapes it gives the notion that the longer you are on the train the closer to death you actually become giving a sense of panic to the audience that thinks where is William Blake going and what will happen at the end of the line.

While watching the movie Psycho I found many different things that in today 's society is not acceptable or it 's not practiced anymore. The first thing I noticed was there is a man that will purchase a house for his 18 year old daughter, and the man looks very happy that his daughter is getting married. In today 's world, at least in America very few slightly 18 year old get marry we rarely see that happen. Times have changed the majority of the part couples get married at older age late 20 's early 30 's, after finishing their careers.
“Tonight, we are a country awakened to danger and called to defend freedom. Our grief has turned to anger and anger to resolution. Whether we bring our enemies to justice or bring justice to our enemies, justice will be done.” This quote shows how Bush is set on bringing justice to the enemy. The tone enhanced these speeches because it showed their attitude toward the subject they were addressing which
The movie “Sleepers” is about four young boys between the ages 13-14 who commit a serious crime by accident. In this paper I will argue why the boys should be dealt with under the Restorative Justice System, and not under the Retributive Justice System. I will also talk about how they would be dealt with under the Youth Criminal Justice Act (YCJA). The four boys are clearly very upset with themselves because they let what they thought would be just a fun prank turn into a violent crime.
Throughout life we are told to express our individuality and swim against the stream of the general population to put emphasis on the characteristics that make us, in short, individuals. Cherishing what makes an individual special and different is what establishes roots in creativity and self expression, however there is a forced false sense of comradery in today’s society that takes the form of involvement with the masses; peer pressure forces many people to fall into the mold of an average character. The Academy award winning film, “The Incredibles” displays the themes of expressing one’s true self and special qualities, and in contrast repression by society to fit a basic mold. These themes are elaborated on through the development of the main characters and expressed further through the supporting roles and their dialogue and endeavors.
