thirteen police vehicles into retirement. Whist his successor Mr. Suleiman Abba, who was sacked in April last year by former president Goodluck Jonathan absconded with nine vehicles. The erstwhile police boss knew about these grand thefts, but kept mute. In his world-view, to steal government property is a just reward. Those who loot the commonwealth should be celebrated and not disgraced. They should be given national awards not punished. That is how Solomon Arase's mind works. And as the say,…

So this is my essay and the prompt I chose is about Sethe’s “rough choice.” The prompt was if you think Sethe was right or wrong for killing Beloved when the slave hunter went to take Sethe and her kids.

Women, who are ostracized from the male world, are expected to “... be out of it ...
