Saint Peter’s Epistle to Nigerians

Dear beloved Nigerians: Almighty God has directed me to write this epistle to you because the news emanating from your country has continued to cause great scandal, shock and deep sadness in heaven. Why this epistle from heaven, and why now?

Pass the bill!

If the bill intended to be sponsored and suggested by a current serving Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria is anything to go by, then prostitutes in every nook and cranny of the beaten, but not too battered Republic will presently have something to hang their G-strings on...

Let us keep an eye on George Uriesi

The immigration queue at the MMA is a carnival of the absurd. Everywhere you go in the world, the queue for nationals is shorter and quicker whilst the one for internationals tends to be longer and slower. In Nigeria it is the other way round. What on earth do those immigration officers want from Nigerians returning home?

Amaechi’s Greatness In Rivers

It is laughable and absurd how "Rome’ will not be built in a day in Rivers State. The proponents use it to console their ineptitude. They say that so that critics will cover their faces in shame whereas the government initiated tedious and gruesome corners and setback...

Kissingerian realpolitik and Yewa Hubris

Why Do “They” Hate The White Man?

How long can Africa afford to do nothing? How long would we be standing by while our hair is shaved in our absence? When are we going to restore the dignity of our women and children and act true to our heritage to either harvest Western goodwill or repudiate them?
