The Osun election has come and gone, with the PDP winning. It’s another round of upcoming suffering for the Osun people, the name of the sufferer just changed, but that’s not my focus in this post. In this just concluded election, though late, I focused my gaze on the alternatives or parties that are posing to be alternatives to APC and… Read More

The falcon is screaming itself out, yet the falconet cannot hear. Justice is judged of her valiant and equity is executed on the street by her own beneficiaries. The center indeed can no longer hold.
