Today, I begin the Web Gems series where I highlight content I find interesting.
Nigeria’s military might: An interesting analysis based on other insightful indices such as available manpower, resources, finance, and geography. You can also read about other countries or even compare countries.
Encouragement for bloggers: Here are five reasons you should keep blogging even if the ‘likes’ or ‘follows’ don’t pile up. I am encouraged myself.
The new way to interrogate suspect: Caution: gory crime details ahead. This new method agrees to the ‘wholesale shift from a “confrontational” model of interrogation to an “investigative” one’. It appears more difficult but offers greater hope for establishing culpability and not conferring it. The days of violent or good cop-bad cop sessions may be done — in real life and movies.
