Nigeria: Exhibiting Mentality of the Abused

In a country of over 60 million university graduates, we have not managed to produce a head of government that has seen the four walls of a four year college prior to his ascendance to power in forty six years, yet we claim to be a thinking people...

The Forward Never Soldiers

This morning I was constipated and guess whose fault it was? Sure you got it! My local government chairman! I don't know who he is but I chose conveniently to blame him. Why should I take the blame for overdosing on my own gluttony?

What If God Does Not Forgive?

No church rebukes Nigerians who do not pay taxes, but they rain curses on those who do not pay the 10% tithe. As a result, the Nigerian government should begin to consider collecting taxes from churches because they make enormous resource just by saying words that both blackmail and brainwash Nigerians...
