Michael Oluwagbemi II

Popularly known as Busanga, Michael Oluwagbemi II writes for various electronic and print publications. Some ask him why he writes, others ask him, "why even bother?" Well, to them both he says, "I don't know". "All I know, and am absolutely sure of, is that the written word is an art and a science; and that there is no worse abortion than the destruction of a pregnant idea which is only given birth to in definitive form when such is submitted to the records of posterity. It is my hope that every reader comes away with a refreshing perspective, be it on politics, human interactions or international relations. A world where we all do our part, and strive to leave the earth better than we met it, is one with less not more government. But, more and definitely more, encompassing compassion and empathy: in words, actions and vision". Michael resides in the state of Texas. Visit him at his blog on busanga.com

Unromantic Nigerian Men and “their” Women

Naija women will settle any day for a corrupt 419er with no drop of romance than a hard working night soil man with his eyes full of love.

Between Atiku and Obasanjo: Beyond the rhetoric

In the street fight between the president and his "vice" truth is indeed very scarce to come by. Both camps have behaved as if they have the monopoly of truth...

Why is Obasanjo Desperate?

What he is desperate for I do not know, but for sure he is desperate. His speech betrays him. He appears to be fearful for nothing. For how else do you describe a man already described next to god by his own lieutenants, yet fearful of his minion deputy?

Decoding Animal Talk Jagbanjantis!

Obasanjo as a specimen never ceases to amuse me. This is a man that nominated a Vice President for two terms, I mean twice in the space of four years and then turns around in the eighth year to tell us he is the most corrupt politician in the history of Nigeria. No be animal talk be that?
