Socrates was born in Alopeke , and belonged to the tribe Antiochis. His father was Sophroniscus , a sculptor, or stonemason. [22][23][24] His mother was a midwife named Phaenarete.[25] Socrates married Xanthippe, who is especially remembered for having an undesirable temperament. [26] She bore for him three sons, [27] Lamprocles, Sophroniscus and Menexenus .

GENERALS AT WAR

…Over death of Sani Abacha, MKO Abiola By Onyedika Agbedo the irrepressibility of truth is an undeniable fact of life. But many a time, those who fear the truth for whatever reason lose sight of this fact and seek to suppress it. Nevertheless, it contends with them until it finally finds its way out and wins ultimately. This appears to be the case among ‘Generals’ and top officers of the Nigerian Army, who more than 18 years after both Nigerian despot, Gen. Sani Abacha, and the presumed winner of the 1993 presidential election, Chief M.K.O Abiola, died in mysterious circumstances, have seemingly kept the true facts of their deaths to themselves and rather remained at ‘war’ over who played or did not play what roles.  Issues surrounding the death of the duo have continued to resonate among then top military officers from time to time as Nigerians watch.

— 9th April 2017 From Jeff Amechi Agbodo, Onitsha NO fewer than 22 pro-Biafra agitators that have been on awaiting trial for 10 years now have told the judges handling their case at the Federal High Court II, Awka, and Onitsha State High Court, both in Anambra State, to disqualify themselves and hands off the case. The agitators were arrested at different locations in the state in 2007 and charged to court over alleged treason and other related offenses. They called on the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami (SAN), to intervene in the matter and consider the psychological, emotional and health conditions of the accused persons as a result of their long remand in prison custody. One of the accused persons, who spoke with newsmen at the Onitsha High Court, Mr. Innocent Orji, said the judges had been frustrating the case through unnecessary delays and long adjournments. Orji, who was flanked by other accused persons, lamented that the case had ...
