Epstein files global fallout: Nigeria is too tolerant of abuse of power, by Olu Fasan

In The Republic, Plato makes strong connections between city and soul, arguing that as the city is, so is the soul; both having a tripartite nature, corresponding to the rational/wisdom-loving, appetitive/desiring and spirited/honour-seeking elements.
