It Doesn’t Take A Graduate…

Nigeria is like a castrated scrotum, whittled firewood, a disjointed bone and a wriggling earthworm on a hook. Nigeria needs in 2007 presidential election someone who has the dexterity and sagacity for leadership to put the debacles together. Nigeria does not need someone whose orientation will be un-nationalistic, someone who will be more adherent to party constitution than the national constitution, someone with all the PhDs without a charisma for humanity.

It amounts to foolhardiness and mumbo-jumbo the speculation that it’s because the PDP Umaru Musa Yar’Adua was a University graduate that is why PDP has his support – per adventure he wins in the April Polls he will be the first university graduate to rule Nigeria.

Nigeria does not need a university graduate to attain utopia. There is no former leaders of Nigeria without a formal education. The problem with us especially our leaders is greed and not qualification thing.

Nigeria needs someone who will practice the rule of law, not the rule of lucre. Nigeria needs someone who will practice the rule of law and not the rule of tyranny. Nigeria needs someone who will touch the lives of the citizens with people-oriented programmes and not with party-oriented programmes.

Nigerian Men and their Foreign Wives

Culturally, Nigerian men are overbearing, controlling, and paternalistic.  They relate to their fathers and mothers differently. They believe it is “a man’s world” and so they have the tendency to relegate women to subservient roles. I am stunned by the transformation Nigerian men, married to non-Nigerian women, have gone through in the United States...

Lost in a Sea of Hair Weaves

One can understand some black women wearing wigs for the same reasons that some white women do; because they are losing or have lost their hair. One can even make allowances for wigs being worn for the occasional change of look. But how to explain young women with full heads of hair who will never be seen dead with their natural hair?

I wanna go back home!!!
