Illogicality and Absurdities: An Open letter to Turai Yar’adua

State of the Nation: Free Readers Speak

'9ja is a typical case of the Biblical nation of Israel that only draws near to God in times of troubles, afflictions and dire need. When all is well, they forget all past woes and go AWOL like King Solomon with 1000 women. The man strong oh! Why didn't God strike him dead?'

Jonathan Disgraced Nigerians by Meeting Hollande in Paris over Chibok Girls and Boko Haram

What is really going on in Nigeria for God's sake?! Is this the useless giant of Africa that we all make noise or brag about? A giant of Africa that has zero influence and whose president is not even capable of doing very simple things like inviting his colleagues from neighbouring countries to Abuja, the capital of his country...

Ikwerres and Their Denial of Igbo Identity
