A lawmaker’s desecration of Oyo State House of Assembly (opens the original)
Read excerpt
IF a person is meant for the mud, they will wallow in it even if you plant them in a palace. That is the story of many (wo)men in high places, and it is the story of the hideous, divisive faith merchant whose provocative utterances birthed this piece. The individual, an All Progressives Congress (APC) lawmaker in the Oyo State House of Assembly called Ibrahim Shittu, urged Muslim voters to reject political parties that field Christian candidates for the 2027 election in the state! If you haven’t
Who bewitched Nigeria’s opposition? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
EVEN if you have lost your copy of Ernest Hemingway’s The Old Man and the Sea, I bet you still remember that story of man’s struggle in a hostile world. You remember the story of the old fisherman who suffers for 84 gruelling days before catching a marlin, only to end up with its skeleton after a barrage by rampaging sharks.

Read excerpt
In his epochal memoir Why We Struck, Adewale Ademoyega, one of the majors who staged Nigeria’s first military coup, gave new life to the word “manage.” Ravaged by hunger during his detention in Biafra while the Nigerian Civil War raged, Ademoyega realized, to his discomfiture, that whenever the prison authorities asked any detainee to “manage,” they meant that he should endure hunger. And so the unjustly detained Nigerian Army officer constrained to defend the Biafra cause discovered a new life
That lunatic repatriation demand by looters’ republic (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In the Book of Ecclesiastes 8:11, King Solomon wrote: “Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.” That is apparently why the murderous hounds ruling the Republic of Looters called South Africa had the temerity to write to the Governments of Nigeria, Malawi and Ethiopia recently, asking for repatriation refund after murdering their citizens and confiscating their property in a fit of xenophobic rage.
