What Kills People OP-ED Opinions 

People Only Die From What’s Meant To Kill Them

Nimi Princewill, ,
‘Something must kill a man!’ As heartwarming and pleasant as that phrase sounds, it’s a nagging reminder that neither of us will be lucky to get out of Earth alive! Well, of course, except the Astronauts. Nevertheless, you get to live for as long as your cause of death is yet to catch up with you. Your own time of… Read More
ICC Africa OP-ED Opinions 

International law / international relations, the hideous imposture of the West

Nimi Princewill, , ,
According to certain definition, international law is a set of legal rules and regulations that govern relations between sovereign states (the state) and or individuals in an international cross border framework. A State may indicate its agreement and obligatory position in such a relationship in several ways, and specifically in accordance with any final codified provisions of the/a treaty that… Read More
Elections OP-ED Opinions 

Presidential Elections Only Produce Flukes In Nigeria. Here’s Why

Nimi Princewill,
Almost every Nigerian of voting age, has an ideal choice of candidate whose profile they believe, is worthy of bringing the desired change; (in local parlance), the “un-APC like” kind of change the country hankers for at this time. However, the ‘best candidates’ are not exactly known to win elections in Nigeria. Neither are they known to belong to the… Read More
Ship MV-Doulos OP-ED Opinions 

My First Encounter With A Racist Was On The World’s Oldest Ship

Nimi Princewill,
It was the tail end of the year 2002, when the world’s oldest passenger ship at that time- MV Doulos, suddenly showed up in my town (Port Harcourt, Nigeria). “Were they lost? or were we headed for another round of slave trade?” I naively queried, as an eleven year old who was getting up to speed with History classes. MV… Read More
Big Decisions OP-ED Opinions 

Waiting To Make The ‘Perfect Decision’ Is The Wrong Decision

Nimi Princewill
The outcome of every decision we make is not always guaranteed to measure up to our expectations, regardless of our well-thought-out plans, hard work or plausible calculations. It’s not entirely within our powers to influence the eventual result of our decisions to either turn out good or bad. One could make the seemingly perfect decision of settling for a prominent… Read More
We Can Change A Few People OP-ED Opinions 

We Can’t Change the World, but We Can Change A Few People

Nimi Princewill, , ,
The world will hardly ever be as peaceful and conducive for living as we imagine or hope for it to be. Therefore, changing the world will continue to be exactly what it ought to be: ‘A Utopian Dream!’   We’d continually need to readjust ourselves to cohabit with fraudsters, terrorists, kidnappers, armed robbers, rapists, domestic abusers, corrupt politicians, extortionist preachers,… Read More
Ramadan in Tunisia North Africa OP-ED 

Jailed for eating during Ramadan in Tunisia: Much ado about radical Islam in the West

Global Author, ,
Why are western nations taking responsibility for the radicalization of Muslims, when the problem is not confined to these countries? Why are these countries buying into this lame narrative that ascribes blame for Islamic extremism to western foreign policy?   Obvious such a position discounts the hateful and inciting of doctrines that are propagated in mosques, and other Islamic centers… Read More
Young African OP-ED Opinions 

African Day of the Child: is Africa really taking care of the young?

Nimi Princewill, , ,
In Malawi students from primary schools were just smoked with tear gas a few days ago, and some of them are celebrating their Day in police holding cells.   The people in power who, happen to be the parents of the young are instructing the police to wound and injure the very generation that has its day today – June… Read More
Nigeria News and Headlines OP-ED West Africa 

Nigerian Churches Evangelize To The Wrong People

Nimi Princewill,
In line with modern realities, the current yardstick for measuring the success of a pentecostal church in Nigeria, begins with an estimation of the church’s net worth (which can be derived from the size and elegance of its cathedral), to most importantly, taking a look at how largely populated its loyal congregation is. Both of these necessities are highly fancied… Read More
Male Math Teacher Nigeria News and Headlines OP-ED West Africa 

A teacher’s reward is in heaven while poverty beckons on earth!

Nimi Princewill, ,
Becoming a teacher in Nigeria, doesn’t exactly align with the prayers of most young Nigerians who seek God’s direction in their search for a glamorous future occupation. Try suggesting the teaching profession to an intending “Jambite” and you’d almost certainly be rebuked for your unreasonable statement, with a fervent “God Forbid!” to ensure such absurd wish never come to pass!… Read More
