Peter Obi, The Nigerian Diaspora, And Propaganda

Either Here or There: Coming to America…

In America, I would always be the African girl who sounds different, looks different and just could never quite blend in. In Nigeria, I would become the American girl who could not speak pidgin and could not make ukodo, yet who insisted that she was Nigerian...

The Ordeal Of Blacks And Nigerians In Russia

There was a time when the Nigerian embassy told the Russian law enforcement authority that it did not desire to be informed about any Nigerian arrested for drug trafficking or any other crime, and that the Russian authority was free to take any action it thought fit against Nigerians to teach them some lessons...

The Color of Your Skin

Africans are at all times at the service of the Whites; as a result, whatever the White man wants, the White man gets. You rarely can find Africans on equal footing with Whites...

The Dark Side Of Black People!

We could blame genetics for all the violent crimes that are committed by Blacks. We could point our fingers at African Americans for the high rate of crime in America. Heck, we could even blame lack of parental discipline, poverty, or a liberal society. The bottom line is this…I am sick and tired of it...

It’s Their Country After All…

I really think that success with the United Kingdom immigration appeals process and hopefully in other western countries is based on a simple model, that of reading the grounds for refusal and sufficiently addressing them in your appeal...

Naija woman, Oyinbo man!

One of the major complaints some of my friends have about their Nigerian husbands is their unwillingness to lift a finger to help out around the house even if they both hold full time jobs.  Some of these issues are not exclusively unique to the Nigerian man. Men are men - FIRST - regardless of race!

The Flight of reason and descent of anarchy in Lagos State

I am convinced that when Fashola and his cohort embarked on the ill-advised decision to summarily sack the almost entire medical workforce in Lagos State, little did they give any consideration to the possible snowball effects of such an irrational decision...

Fashola for Show…In Lagos

Where does one begin? That this governor does not harass us the citizens with daily wail of sirens like his thirty-five other counterparts cannot wait to do? That this governor always seems to be able to engage Nigerians as adult in a conversation, be it an admonishment to attentive followership or need to enhance education?
