I want to ask the men and women that stroll along the corridors of power in the various tiers of government, just one question: Are you all blind? I am perplexed that no individual in the National Assembly has made the reformation of the Nigerian Police Force his or her sole legislative objective…
In the past one hundred and six days, Africans all over the continent, those who could afford cable tv subscriptions or a television set for those who caught the programme courtesy local television stations, were turned to voyeurs…
The state of Israel must know that by their treatment of the Palestinians, and by their supercilious treatment of all those who oppose and or criticize them – that God's promise may not come to pass…

I am received like a state dignitary at the Canadian High Commission in London and given a tour of the facility. “This is what we do for visiting Canadian artists”, I am told. Meanwhile the Nigerian High Commission in London never responded to my manager’s e-mail about my impending visit…
If African countries can't govern themselves, they should say so and allow the West to take over the day-to-day administration of their countries…
