I love David Hundeyin. I think he’s one of the bravest journalists and writers around today. I love people who have real, uplifting convictions and stand by them, come rain, come shine. I read his report on Bola Tinubu and his drug-trafficking links. There really is nothing new in the story, except that it has a little more detail than we… Read More

Finally, President Muhammad Buhari and his northern Nigerian cohorts have unveiled their clan’s clandestine agenda for complete nothernization and Islamization of Nigeria through the recent unveiling of a Muslim-Muslim Presidential/Vice Presidential ticket by their party, the APC. Many politicians and political pundits have spoken for and against the development; providing reasons that in some respects appear logical and plausible, absurd… Read More

Eighty-eight birthday is a special occasion and an ideal opportunity to tell Wole Soyinka the first African to receive the Nobel Prize in Literature, how much he means to us.

It was just how a similar thing occurred some two thousand years ago when a baby was born in Bethlehem, and nobody in your hometown knew about it. Nobody took a selfie with the baby… Read More
