Rarely in my life has a man given me such pain by his mere cruelty as Dr. Matins. (Real name withheld). He held my score sheet in his hands determined to calculate my GPA to the last figure. I walked behind this dreaded, cold blooded lecturer from one office to another,from one house to the other like a ‘new year… Read More

“But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also” – Jesus Christ in Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5:39). I am not a pastor. In fact, I do not subscribe to the wedges and hedges of religion, but there is, no doubt, wisdom in… Read More

Three remarkable things happened this week with regard to the fight against sexual harassment in Nigeria’s tertiary institutions. First was the unveiling of a policy document on sexual harassment at the University of Port Harcourt, Rivers State. Second was the sacking of eight lecturers at the Akwa Ibom State University, Uyo, for sexual offences, and the third, the second reading of… Read More

Is Nigeria an evil empire? Yes! In my own opinion, President Muhammadu Buhari has turned Nigeria into evil empire. Since Buhari’s arrival in Aso Rock, the evidence that he has turned Nigeria into evil empire grows every day. The barbaric clampdown on critics of Buhari’s evil regime makes Sani Abacha, Nigeria’s erstwhile brutal military maximum dictator, a ‘progressive democratic president’.… Read More

I am not about to deliberately shock you, but with the texture and posture of Nigerian youths today, Omoyele Sowore cannot win his Ondo state if he contests as President in 2023.

A near impossible and rare feat is to impeach a United States’ president. The president must have committed, either bribery, treason or other serious crimes or misdemeanors. Even at that, in the present clime, it is almost impossible to believe that the Republican members of Congress in the Senate would pass such a bill if presented with one by the… Read More

The start of the impunity is what remains confusing. Where do we begin? Is it the video of the ladies where they make a false allegation? Is it the bounty that popular musician David Adélékè “Davido”, placed on the heads of the ladies illegally for information leading to them? Is it the handcuffs which appear on the hand of the… Read More

Nigeria’s foremost anti-corruption crusader and a presidential candidate in the country’s 2019 election, Omoyele Sowore, who is being detained by state authorities on trumped-up charges, may not regain freedom soon, because he happens to be a paragon of virtue who truly personifies the famous quotation: “I belong to nobody.” It is clear this uncommon patriotism has not been put into… Read More

History is replete with countless examples of past and present evil regimes in the world. We wonder why people failed to rise up against evil rulers. President Muhammadu Buhari will go down in history as president of one of the monstrous despotic regimes in the world. With all the atrocities of Buhari, Nigerians are mentally, physically, and spiritually disabled to fight… Read More

I have been following the ongoing debate on the origin and meaning of the word Yoruba, with Mr  Femi Fani Kayode arguing that Yoruba was derived from the word Yariba, which means “shady and unreliable”.    According to him, the people called Yoruba today are Anago and their language, also Anago. He said the Fulani were the first to refer to… Read More
