Pope Benedict Be Damned! Pelted and Ignored to Irrelevance!

The Pope lied; He lied to Africans while on his trip to Cameroon. Pope Benedict XVI blatantly lied to the press and public. He, a former college professor, now pope, should have known better...

Future Challenges for ‘Minority’ Ethnic Churches

The minority ethnic churches by their very nature bring about challenges. One of them is the possibility of the second generation problem.  There could come a time when these churches cease to attract any of the second generation Africans...

Is Evil the absence of God?

My brother was a Christian who died of cancer, even though he prayed to Jesus to heal him. How is this Jesus good? Hmmm? Can you answer that one?

All Loot and No Work Makes Me a Rich Man

If it is any consolation, it means kleptocracy is not unique to Nigeria; but I will not rejoice in that knowledge, as some people will be quick to point out to me. Is there, or has there ever been, any country in the world ruled officially by thieves?
