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

OBJ and Atiku should be Impeached

If President Obasanjo wants us to believe that the man he chose to run on the same ticket with him for two consecutive elections, who he called his best friend and confidant for two elections, is a corrupt man, we have no choice but to believe him...

OBJ Deserves To be called “Father of Modern Nigeria”

Who else deserves the honor of being the architect, creator and master mind of this country of ours. A country where anything goes: a country where "modern" policemen depend on harassing the collective psyche of ordinary citizens...

Lepa Shandi or Orobo?

To crucify Oluchi or Agbani Darego – ladies who are simply trying to make a living - for looking the way they do or the way their creator created them because it doesn't fit your bill is simply ludicrous...

On Bakassi, OBJ is Right

Why fight over Bakassi? The people are important, but as far as I can tell, they still retain their right to Nigerian citizenship if they so wish. The resources the land itself contains is still largely unproven...

IBB’s Judgment Day is Nigh

IBB is a man with next to zero reputation and with no effective machinery on ground to contest, nominate or impose a candidate. Who is he?
