As time moves forward, the real Ahmed Tinubu is beginning to emerge. And the electorate is beginning to take notice. His supporters will say that he will win the next election hands down.His detractors will say think again. I am totally apolitical in that I have absolutely no allegiance to Nigeria's…
Don't they get it that under the current APC administration, just as it was under the PDP administration, the country is falling farther and farther into the abyss of widespread poverty, hopelessness, helplessness, despair? Crime and violence, a decaying infrastructure, substandard health care as re…
The cyclical nature of Nigerian politics. There was a time not too long ago when the APC was in such disarray that people thought they would be in the political wilderness for a long time. That did not happen. They were able to get their act together and form the government. The same will happen for…
When Socrates said an unexamined life is not worth living, he must not have foreseen that there would be a people like so many in Nigeria who would come to think that their ultimate success in life would be dependent on whether the PDP or APC was in power; whereas anyone with the narrowest of intell…
How can Nigeria possibly offer real assistance to South Sudan when Nigeria is nearly in the same boat as South Sudan? It would merely be a case of the blind leading the blind. Just to digress a little bit. On a scale of one to ten, in which one is best governed, and ten is worst governed, if South S…
Oluwaseyi, we call her Seyi in short, was a beauty queen in her day. Wherever she went, she was constantly flocked by large numbers of men who were mesmerized not only by her beauty, but also her raw sexuality which she flaunted on every occasion. Having lived in London for almost thirty years, now…

If sacked, they will go to any length to bring down the individual(s) who is responsible for their sacking. As…
There is just something about HOME that keeps pulling its children back. I feel the pull all the time but I have to just snap out of it. But this time around its the food that is pulling me back. I can't wait to jump on the next available flight back home.I have hardly anything positive to say that…
In my parents and grandparents' generation, corporal punishment was not only inflicted in the homes, but also in the schools, and the communities at large. Most will tell you that it was not only the punishment, but also the fear of punishment that set them on the straight and narrow. While reminisc…
I live in Madrid. To be honest every staff in the Nigerian embassy here in Madrid need to be sacked as it is they are not serving any purpose. I visited the embassy for a consulate service recently (early December) but there was a total lack of customer service along with the nonchalant behaviour of…
Nigeria is a violent society. We must all do our part to reduce domestic violence in our communities. Its really weird, but over 35% of the men, who don't hit women, tend to also be victims of domestic violence. Maybe abusive women see them as soft, unwilling to fight back and ripe for abuse from wo…
