Nigeria 2006: Cataclysmic Predictions

I have no clairvoyant ability. No one does. Psychic and related “abilities” are all bull. No one really knows what tomorrow holds. All we can do is observe, poke the data, mix-and-match, and hedge our bets. And that’s exactly what I am about to do...

The god in Ibadan: Responding to Remi Oyeyemi

Under what sane political system would an Adedibu sack the House of Assembly and hold the Governor ransom? Under what reasonable political system would Adedibu commit criminality and still be invited to wine and dine with the president of the country?

Please, could somebody just walk across to President Olusegun Obasanjo's cozy castle in Aso Rock and ask him how he felt when he saw the report that the two survivors of  the December 10 crash of the Sosoliso Flight 1145 in Port Harcourt were flown to South Africa  for medical treatment?

Audu Ogbeh: Seeking The Mercy of The Battered

Why would Ogbeh, a man who claims he cares for the nation, boldly deliberate and chair a committee that divides and donate the presidency of the nation to the North and South-West? If the rule of law is to be truly applied in Nigeria, Ogbeh should be in jail for his diseased and inhibitory actions glazed by his corruptive acts...
