Treason Charge Against Uwazuruike and co. Is Hokum

It is horrendous how the Federal Government okays amnesty for a terrorist
group such as Boko Haram, even by going on its knees to beg the violent group,
but here is the Supreme Courts okaying Chief Ralph Uwazuruike and co. of
the Movement for the Actualisation of Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB),
which operates on a non-violence agitation, for treason trial.

No wonder Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu vehemently said in his recent lecture to the
British House of Commons that Ndigbo are marginalised in Nigeria.

It is appaling that Southeast politicians might have sold out, and this is
the result. If not, all the regions now have armed wing which they are
using for negotiation: (South West-OPC, South south – MEND, North – Boko
Haram). But here is non-violent MASSOB’s members charged for treason, for
whatever grammar the Judges that enacted this used.

Nigerian Men and their Foreign Wives

Culturally, Nigerian men are overbearing, controlling, and paternalistic.  They relate to their fathers and mothers differently. They believe it is “a man’s world” and so they have the tendency to relegate women to subservient roles. I am stunned by the transformation Nigerian men, married to non-Nigerian women, have gone through in the United States...

Lost in a Sea of Hair Weaves

One can understand some black women wearing wigs for the same reasons that some white women do; because they are losing or have lost their hair. One can even make allowances for wigs being worn for the occasional change of look. But how to explain young women with full heads of hair who will never be seen dead with their natural hair?
