It looked like a child’s play in the eyes of the vagabonds in power. The proclamation roared over and triggered the atmosphere by Nigerians, that the freedom we all waited to witness had arrived. Unfortunately democracy does not exist in Nigeria after 60 years of independence. A failed country with unfortunate political office holders; the blood of all the innocent… Read More

Are you confused at the moment? Weak? Hearts shattered?  I want to tell you that you are not alone. It’s understandable and permissible. You feel less patriotic? No. You are a patriot; a brave one at that. You are not a coward for feeling broken at the moment. The cowards are the ones who can not own up to their… Read More

20th October, 2020 was a day of horror in Nigeria. Well-meaning, harmless protesting Nigerians were reported to have been injured and killed by the Nigerian Government in the most reckless and senseless manner at the Lekki Toll Gate. This is happening in a nation that claimed to practice democracy. This is genocide against the Nigerian people and President Buhari must… Read More

When Comrade Omoyele Sowore mooted the idea of a non-violent revolution last year he was promptly hunted down and arrested and charged to court for his temerity to use the word ‘revolution’. For calling out poor and dehumanized Nigerians to demonstrate peacefully against the Buhari regime and its policies and programmes that kept worsening the Nigerian socio-economic political condition the… Read More

Over the years of General Muhammadu Buhari’s “democratic” tenure, while development and progress has been minimal at best, and all sorts of terrorists reign supreme across the country, retaining it as the world’s most terrorized nation, what has become hallmark, is the former dictator’s intolerance towards civil protests and his growing record of state-perpetrator violent massacres of Nigeria’s youth. Black… Read More

I have only just come across a short clip showing people in a warehouse filled with COVID-19 palliatives which were left un-shared even with biting lack and poverty turning many into internet beggars during the early to mid-term of national lockdown some months ago. I have to wonder, what sort of greed and wickedness could have driven our leaders to… Read More

This is a moment of sadness in Nigeria’s history.  Eyes are filled with tears.  And the hearts of many concerned citizens are heavy with grief.  I had silently prayed for things not to degenerate to this level. But here we are. Today, I bemoan my nation, Nigeria, the country that wastes its best and pampers its criminals. For the first… Read More

It was hard to keep up with the torrent of posts as the power of social media was deployed in all its ferocity for good and evil. Through it all though, one thing was constant on my mind on Tuesday night: the images of vulnerable, distressed youths fighting for their lives. You couldn’t make up the chaos, if you tried.… Read More

As news of outbreaks of arson and looting started taking over the reports of the hitherto peaceful EndSARS protests, I hoped and prayed that for once, the government would buck the trend and resist the temptation to send soldiers and anti-riot policemen to clear the streets by mowing down protesters. The reported incidents were indeed worrisome: police stations set on… Read More

There is nothing that Asiwaju Awon Ole Bola Tinubu says or does that will surprise Yorubas any more, no matter how shocking or outrageous. When Funke Olakunrin daughter of Afenifere leader, Pa Reuben Fasoranti, was dastardly murdered by Muhammadu Buhari’s Fulani herdsmen terrorists, Tinubu in front of a grieving, devastated Pa Fasoranti, proudly asked: “Where are the cows?” When he… Read More
