In 1914 Nigeria became a country now 100 years later the incumbent president decided to invite everyone around the world to celebrate, our achievements, may be our defeat or perherps trials and tribulations. Personally I think that a lot is at stake. In 1966 unity schools were created by the federal government to promote unity […]
Apparently most women tolerate their man straying and making relationship ‘errors’ couple of times before thinking of dumping them, but only very few men would stay with a woman who strayed. So just WHY are women so tolerant of cheating? We see it again and again, a man strays, lies, and cheats on his wife […]
My name is The Federal Republic of Nigeria. I was born in 1914 following a union between a certain Southern Protectorate and Northern Protectorate, both of black Africa, but with different religious orientations.

One two three four…. It is done and the regret sets in The “why’s” and “had I knowns” The tears of shamefulness But it appeared to be alright to go ahead With all the nonsense and irrational behaviors But now its all gone Left bitter inside Feelings of hopelessness But wait…. Mistakes are powerful You […]
My country on a sinking ship The sailing began long ago Our sailors part at the middle of the sea Then we were left in a lurch The ship that brought us together I mean the ship of peace and unity The ship that know no race The ship of Non-tribal The ship that disallow […]
As I write this to you, I’m really angry. I wish you could behold my face to see the level of anger on it. You might jump to conclusion that my anger is much more of envy and bitterness of your way to the top. I’m more concerned about future your endeavours. You’re already seeing […]
Let us look at the gay question honestly.
Thank God for medical science, a lot of people now understand what it means to marry someone that is compatible in terms of genotype; but does it really matter? Can you truly marry someone whose genotype is not compatible with yours just because of love? This is a delicate issue, and I know a few […]
Since playing the poignant role of Patsy to critical acclaim in Steve McQueen’s film 12 years a Slave, Kenyan Actress Lupita Amondi Nyong’o has taken the world by a storm. The decibel has been so loud that we easily forget that only eight years ago she was trolling movie sets as a production assistant. Few […]
A heartbreaking story about girls as young as ten years being sent to a camp to be taught how to have sex has aggrieved my heart and made me wonder albeit in a somewhat rhetoric manner – Why do we steal their innocence? This age old, time-honoured ritual has been going on for a real […]
Firstly, I appreciate the expression of shock on your face right now. It practically demonstrates what the term “gay” personally means to you. A large percentage of parents reading this article right now may have never given this question a thought because to them, this just “cannot happen”. But in reality, the truth stares us […]
Nollywood makes bad or worst films, yes I agree. None can dispute that, but I wish to tell the critics of Nollywood to find better jobs to do than buying pop corn to laugh out the mistakes of translation of a Yoruba film. Nollywood might have lost its creativity and respect. Yes, it might always […]

1. Dearly beloved, I write to you in this moment through a calling in my spirit, just as Paul wrote to the church in Ephesians for bearing in mind that we are already made one body by faith. 2. Even as I subject in my utmost prayer the one I deeply love for this same […]
