Even a God-King Can Bleed: The Rivers State Crisis Through the Lens of 300

  By Chico Mies The confrontation between Leonidas and Xerxes in 300 and the ongoing political crisis in Rivers State share striking thematic similarities, particularly in the struggle between power and resistance.  Leonidas’ quote: “The world will know that a free man stood against a tyrant. That few stood against many. And before this battle was over, even a god-king can bleed.” resonates deeply with the current standoff in Rivers State, where Governor Siminalayi Fubara finds himself at odds with the federal authority following President Bola Tinubu’s declaration of a state of emergency. The Tyrant vs. The Free Man In 300, Xerxes presents himself as an all-powerful ruler, demanding submission from Leonidas and the Spartans. Similarly, Tinubu’s imposition of emergency rule can be interpreted as an assertion of supreme federal power over Rivers State, challenging its autonomy. Fubara, like Leonidas, stands as a figure of defiance, resisting what he and his supporters perceive ...

A Client Almost Flashed Me His Gbola in the Name of Evidence

  By Barrister Confidence Aribibia This man got married as a virgin, and his wife—the same woman who taught him the ropes—now refuses him intimacy after two kids, claiming his gbola is too big. In his frustration, he told the Barrister, “Barrister, I’m willing to snap and send it to you on WhatsApp—my gbola is not big!” The Barrister understood his pain but made it clear that she was not a medical expert to assess such matters. Instead, she offered a practical solution that worked for both him and his spouse. Now, imagine if he had confided in someone who didn’t have his marriage’s best interest at heart? Dear married folks, be wise. Denying your spouse intimacy is not only unfair but also a legal ground for divorce.

U.S.-South Africa Tensions Rise Over Land Expropriation Law

  By MiesTalks South African President Cyril Ramaphosa has signed the Expropriation Act 13 of 2020 into law, repealing the apartheid-era Act 63 of 1975. The new legislation allows for the expropriation of land without compensation, a move that has sparked significant international debate. Former U.S. President Donald Trump strongly opposed the law, stating that “the U.S. will halt all funding to South Africa because of its treatment of certain classes of people. In response, President Ramaphosa defended his government stance, emphasizing that South Africa is a constitutional democracy deeply rooted in the rule of law, justice, and equality. The South African government has not confiscated any land. Donald Trump should leave us alone. With Trump’s firm stance on global affairs, diplomatic tensions could continue to rise, making the next four years a challenging period for international relations.
