At the risk of sounding pessimistic, one could argue profoundly that Nigeria’s contemporary political atmosphere carries a systemic, tragic potential. This vulnerability is directly...
In the race to build a secure, efficient and inclusive financial ecosystem for Nigerians globally, the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), in collaboration with...
Many of us make career choices with the best interest of our children in mind. Some of us pawn our kids off to complete strangers to care for them while we endlessly chase the almighty Dollar. We spend less time at home, more at the workplace…
My older brother, Oyaw, lives in New York. In the summer of 2005 he went home to Naija to get married, dragging me along with him. His American girl friend was not told. My brother is educated but stupid...
Are Africans - specifically Nigerians - the only people on this planet equipped with a designer yardstick, which measures success in terms of material possessions, educational background and socio-economic status?
The United States of America is full of Africans who came to join their spouses and then unceremoniously abandoned their marital homes. Nigerians, more than other Africans, are masters of "taking off." For whatever reason, there seems to be more female culprits than men...
I am a serf.I do not have a following when I go to Nigeria. The crowd waiting at Murtala Muhammed Airport in Lagos does not celebrate my arrival. Neither will the crowd at my port of entry in the United States celebrate my return...
To live in America is the dream of almost every Nigerian, young and old. But the bubbling and excitement in you when you got your visa and boarded the plane in Nigeria will fizzle out as soon as you set foot on this soil that is not yours…
Why are millions of Nigerians migrating to more "developed" parts of the world even when it means living as second class citizens or living in the underground world of illegal aliens? Why is Nigeria unable to hold its own?
Why do I live in the house of my dreams, with a family of my own? Why is the need to reminisce often strong when I am alone? Why do I feel this void inside my soul? If I wanted some answers, I had to go back! Back to that place where the child once played hide and seek under the moonlight…
Is it really the case that the Nigerian situation is a result of a dearth of solutions? Anyone who believes that is in deep denial. There is an over-abundance of solutions to the Nigerian problem...
Events in the past two weeks and beyond have cast very serious doubts on Nigerians’ optimism that the war against corruption in the polity and in governance, by the government of President Yar’Adua is being fought convincingly and being won...
While on clinical posting to the department, I met a woman who just had her worst fear confirmed, she was diagnosed to have a madly spreading cancer in her left breast...
To say the current Presidency is embattled will be a glaring understatement. Isn’t the tell tale signs of a beleaguered Presidency evident in this breakneck and frenzied race to the 2011 elections?
How is it that the nearly thirty other political parties in Nigeria, other than the PDP, are not ready for prime time? What are their excuses for not selecting or announcing their presidential candidates or aspirants?
Why are you the governor if you can’t take time off to smell the roses and cognacs in America? As the governor, you have the right to take 10 days vacation after working for 20 days. It is hard being the governor, you know?
God, some maintain, made it possible for Yar’Adua and Jonathan Goodluck to be where they are today. I personally do not think that God has anything to do with the matter. What influence does God have in Nigeria? Who listens to God in Nigeria?
As far as I am concerned, anybody can be corrupt whether you are a journalist or not. Everybody, even the Pope or Obama, has a price. Whether you are a lawyer, doctor, teacher, American, Pakistani or Brazilian, everyone has this innate tendency to be corrupt...
