This title of Michael Mann movie (released in 1992) and an earlier novel of the same name (released in 1826) is most apposite for our celebrant. As the title suggests, Chief Ayo Adebanjo is a member of the fast dwindling tribe of heroes. One of the very few last men standing. Yes, of a fast-depleting breed of nationalistsand ideologues, committed and principled politicianswho refuse to compromise or bend in tune with the latest fad – or the dictates of personal, parochial, ethnic or self-interest.
His likes are, indeed, very hard to find in today’s Nigeria – a country of never ending oddities. Little wonder the encomiums which have been poured (and continue to be showered) on him on the occasion of his 96th birthday a few days ago – on the 10th of April, to be precise. That makes him a nonagenarian. Accordingly, this is as good an occasion as any to take stock and reflect on a life less ordinary: the remarkable times of a man of the world, who both defined and was defined by it. Here is a man who stood up to be counted. Here is a man of rare courage – a man of principle. A man for all seasons.
Given all of these, does the man, Chief Ayo Adebanjoreally need any introduction? What can be said about him that has not already been said – or, has he not said of himself in his biography “Tell It As It Is”?. What? Little, if anything, to be honest. Accordingly, I willonly dwell briefly on Chief’s glittering past and illustrious antecedents. Chief Ayo Adebanjo made his earthly debut on the 10th of April, 1928, in Ijebu-Igbo, in the South-West of Nigeria. His early life showed the promise of what was to come when he slapped a British colonial officer reportedly for lacking in manners, retorting audaciously: “Is that how you say ‘good morning’ in your country?”. That singular act of courage (some might call it foolhardiness) and his refusal to apologize cost Chief his job in the colonial civil service; and this has defined him ever since.
Chief Adebanjo started life as a journalist with aregional newspaper before the lure of…

INTRODUCTION
In the last episode of the piece, we posed the question: “Have we always been doomed” “We answered it by highlighting some notable achievements by eminent Nigerians. We then considered the notion of Nigeria as a failed state where insecurity reigns supreme. This is continued in this week’s episode, after which we lament the spectacle of a prostrate government followed by suggested panaceas including practicing true fiscal federalism. Read on.
INSECURITY REIGNS SUPREME (Continues)
Even in Uwheru, Oreba, Ovwor, Onicha-Olona and Abraka in Delta State; to Okpanku, Ozzala, UkpabiNimbo, Ngwoko, Ebor, Umuome, Ugwuijoro and Ugwuachara in Enugu State, the story is the same: gory and hideous blood-letting and festival of blood. The greatest worry of it all is that these killers are not ghosts or apparitions. They are known. They even come out openly, thump their chests, confess and own up to their criminal acts. The Herdsmen umbrella, Miyetti-Allah, claimed the blood-chilling murder of over 200 Plateau citizens was because 300 of its cows were rustled. It boasted that no one could have expected peace without retaliation, under such circumstances. The same group has, over time, infamously given various reasons for its herdsmen’s killings: Nimbo massacre, Enugu State (deadly attack): “we killed because they stole our cows”. Benue State (several progroms): “we killed because of anti-grazing law”. Taraba State (several): “we killed because they blocked our grazing routes”. Adamawa State (many Communities): “we killed because they broke our cow’s leg”. Zamfara State: “we killed because the farmers said we were grazing on their farm lands”. Haba!
A PROSTRATE GOVERNMENT
For over seven years, there were no arrests, no prosecution, no arraignment, no convictions. Rather, some five Christians were arrested in Adamawa, tried and sentenced to death by hanging, for…
Center for Indigenous Studies Presents
Thursday, April 25, 2024
Blithewood Manor
6:00 pm – 7:00 pm EDT/GMT-4
By Bonney Hartley (Stockbridge-Munsee Mohican), Tribal Repatriation specialist for the Stockbridge-Munsee Mohican Nation.
It is invaluable to Tribal citizens to welcome home lost or looted family heirlooms as part of collective cultural heritage. Bonney Hartley, repatriation representative for Stockbridge-Munsee Community, will share insights from the community’s repatriation efforts in the region and highlight ways that the Tribal Historic Preservation Program has approached matters of possession and belonging in claiming items under the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA). The presentation will also offer recent insights and opportunities in light of the new NAGPRA regulations that took effect in January.
The Bard College Center for Indigenous Studies will host its inaugural symposium on Thursday, April 25, and Friday, April 26, at Bard College in Annandale-on-Hudson, New York. The symposium includes workshops, lectures, and discussions centered around Dr. Beth Piatote’s (Nez Perce enrolled Colville Confederated Tribes) brilliant play Antíkoni, an adaptation of Sophocles’ Antigone. Dr. Beth Piatote’s (Nez Perce enrolled Colville Confederated Tribes) play Antíkoni is from her collection The Beadworkers and was written in part while in residence as a fellow at Bard Graduate Center. Inspired by this work’s themes of possession, belonging, and inheritance, the Center for Indigenous Studies has invited speakers to discuss tribal preservation, NAGPRA (Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act), and the universality of the values that run through both Sophocles’ Antigone and Piatote’s adaptation.

Pauric Tighe, originally from Virginia in Co Cavan, has worked in Downey’s Bar in Cabra since his father took it over back in 2002.
Walking into the local, you’ll see a collage of photos of loyal customers, framed pictures of the Downey’s crowd with an Irish flag at Italia 90, cheques of donations they raised for Temple Street Children’s Hospital, and an Elvis Presley flag.
‘We’re the last of the Mohicans, it’s becoming harder,’ says Cabra pub owner trying to keep pints at Cavan prices
You’ll also find a Guinness Six Nations flag with a €5 sign stuck to it, letting people know that Downey’s is one of the few pubs in the capital that still sells it at that price.
But as Diageo continues to raise the price of their alcohol, it’s becoming more and more difficult to keep the pint at a reasonable price.
“We’re the last of the Mohicans, it’s becoming harder,” Mr Tighe told the Irish Independent.
“It’s good to be competitive, but we’re unique, this pub can’t be replicated anywhere else. It’s mostly due to the people who come in here, not us. They’re what make Downey’s, Downey’s.
“We’ve photographs of the customers and memorial cards of our past customers behind the bar. If these types of pubs close, they’ll only be replaced by Starbucks or some sort of coffee shop. This pub is unique to this area.
“We’re trying to get people to come out, not sit and drink at home. We’re saying we’re €5 a pint, why not give us a go one night a week, that’s our offering to people.
“Our customers are locals here in Cabra East. They’re all over the walls. This is a local Cabra pub, having decent prices encourages people to come out.
“That’s what we want, there’s no point in having an expensive drink and an empty…
