October 5 is set aside to celebrate teachers across the world. World Teachers’ Day is iconic. It cuts national and regional boundaries. Unfortunately, for...
Every beer parlour in the country is filled with repeated factual narrations by compatriots who know the secrets of the Ogbologbos in Nigeria. Some are telling us about the documented gory details of the Ogbologbo exploits in wicked acts in pursuit of narrow fetish interests...
The simmering debate on the deportation of some people of Igbo extraction by Governor Fashola has opened up a bigger debate on the necessity of the colloquy that must take place between us all...
Offensive frisking of Nigerians at airports all over the world is as a result of the halo of stereotypes orbiting the heads of my people. In my small US town of Hartford with about 14,000 inhabitants, a big poster hung on a bank wall warning customers about Nigerians and fraud. But, are we all thieves?
Let me take the very intelligent and master historian Fani Kayode on a historical journey as well and as much as he has taken everyone. If he remembers his history very well, he would just come to realize that the reason why Adolf Hitler killed more than three million Jews...
A few years ago, I found myself lusting after a young lady from Ogun State. She had a body and a backside that simply made a man’s eyes water. You know, the kind of body that guarantees that she would always have more female enemies than friends. But when she opens her mouth to talk...
This piece is not about religion, but about the law of life. It is about the recklessness and impunity with which those who hold the reins of power in Nigeria conduct themselves and government businesses in and outside of the borders of the nation...

Femi Fani-Kayode, the 53-year-old son of “Fani-Power,” continues in the mischievous tradition of his father: throwing dangerous missiles at the innocent. He recently wrote an incendiary article entitled: “The Bitter Truth About the Igbo,” in which he maligned the Igbos and virtually told them to get out of Lagos and leave Lagos for the Yorubas...
By simple commonsense and deductive reasoning going by the profiling of apprehended or known ‘terrorists’, everybody knows that international terrorism is now a major problem of the 21st century and that terrorists can come from any family, community, country or religion...
The role of individuals, communities and non-governmental organisations as environmental ‘guards’ at local levels should be considered as an important ingredient of our enforcement regime...
As I write this on Sunday, the results of Nigeria’s parliamentary election held on Saturday are streaming in. There is excitement in the newsroom the same way it is felt in all nooks and crannies of Nigeria. Change is here...
Let’s look at what 50 years of uninterrupted rule by men has brought Nigeria: civil war, one million dead bodies in the space of 3 years, systematized corruption, destruction of national morals, ostentatious living, and decadence that would make the ancient Romans blush...
What is this life all about?One minute a man is here and the next he’s gone.What’s the purpose of existence in the first place?Why all these struggles and toil in life anyway?What’s the essence of even studying to attain several qualifications and achieve so much, only for everything to come to an abrupt end?
In connection with a deliberate, orchestrated attempt at discouraging countless students from engaging in any thorough academic studies and excel academically any longer, careful checks have revealed that most private school proprietors/proprietresses, owners of registered/unregistered tutorial centres scattered all over the country are culpable and neck-deep in perpetrating exam malpractices...
From a religious perspective, it is all too easy for us to sit in the comfort of an armchair and place a value on anyone who decides to practice abortion. But abortion is one issue we cannot view with any degree of objectivity using religion or science...
Mbu told me that the then Lieutenant-Colonel Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu informed him that the military officers had investigated the bank accounts of the members of the Balewa government and only he was given a ‘clean bill of health’ i.e. he was free from the corruption virus...
