Presidential Disgrace!
Saturday, 19 January 2008 6:00 A GMT-04
Self-styled Father of Modern Nigeria, ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo, has become the central figure in another bizarre and mind-bending tale of colossal proportions! This time, he is mired in something far more serious and baffling than political dra

Nigeria@47: Toiling On
Monday, 1 October 2007 2:10 A GMT-04
One year later, the sentiment is largely the same; the only difference seems to be that now, we have a new president who has so far managed to present himself as one who does NOT intend to egregiously trample the law like his predecessor. It......
At the Mechanic's....
Saturday, 4 August 2007 2:28 A GMT-04
I went to one of these Oil Change/Car service outfits today to get my car properly serviced for the next 3000 miles. The total package includes oil change, transmission flush, tire pressure checked, car floor mats vacuumed, windows hand-cleaned, cool
Marriage And The Nigerian Man/Woman
Thursday, 10 May 2007 9:13 A GMT-04
Many Nigerian men who rushed off to get their wives from Nigeria came back scooping scorpions into their bosoms. When they cannot deal with the raw hand they've been dealt by these ladies who are appropriately wolves in sheep clothing, these hapless
What Else is New?
Tuesday, 24 April 2007 9:31 P GMT-04
Nigerians are an interesting people. I guess this past election has exposed the democratic pretensions of many a Nigerian residing in the so-called First World countries. It’s a bit disconcerting that the people who ought to be at the forefront
Unhealthy Presidential Aspirant?
Wednesday, 7 March 2007 12:44 A GMT-04
I heard recently that anointed PDP Presidential candidate, Alhaji Umaru Yar'Adua has suddenly fallen so ill that he had to be flown out of the country for medical treatment. We've always known that his health was cause for great concern, but guess wh
Blogspot: Bull In A China Shop?
Saturday, 3 March 2007 12:59 A GMT-04
The rate at which the Nigerian Blogosphere is growing, one can safely conclude that blogging has finally come to stay with regards to Nigerians in Diaspora. If you have not investigated this, please take some time to do so—I think the results you arr
Dishonorable Plans, Dangerous Implications!
Wednesday, 14 February 2007 12:59 A GMT-04
Seven and half years of Obasanjo's gross maladministration may have created an uncanny ability in most Nigerians: the ability to examine a new government policy, or statements from the presidency or those of his hatchetmen, and ac
From Obasanjo to Yar'Adua: No Visible Change in Sight!
Sunday, 17 December 2006 11:59 P GMT-04
The lesson here is that as things change, they remain the same. It is still going to be business as usual in Nigeria in 2007 despite the serious cry for change and reform.
A New State, A New Identity
Thursday, 5 October 2006 12:59 A GMT-04
Igboland does not cover just the 5 states that some ignorantly call “core Igbo”. I find all attempts to splinter Igboland (which covers an area east and west of the River Niger) very offensive. I find it totally objectionable for some to
Why Men Marry from Home
Tuesday, 3 October 2006 12:59 A GMT-04
There is a reason why I have previously refrained from writing on serious issues like love, marriage and relationships. It is not for want of something to write; nor because of any lingering memories of some bitter past. There is no gainsaying th
Nigeria@46: A Tale of Wasted Years
Sunday, 1 October 2006 11:59 P GMT-04
It is the first day of October today. It is a day that Nigerians mark their Independence Day for it was on this day back in 1960 that the administration of the geographical construct called Nigeria was left to Nigerians—the Brits packed their b
IBB's Recent Doublespeak
Friday, 22 September 2006 11:59 P GMT-04
You would think that mischievous characters like Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida (IBB) might have learnt a thing or two about the real sentiments of majority of Nigerians since they were out of power. Opinions about his rule abound and they have by far an
Obasanjo Vs Atiku: The Conflict Escalates!
Thursday, 7 September 2006 11:59 P GMT-04
Obasanjo's personal disagreements with Atiku have been known for some time, so I am hardly surprised that Obj is now taking hurried and drastic actions to check the ambitions of his deputy. Atiku however is not going down without a fight despite the
Nigeria 2007: Standing on Guard!
Monday, 21 August 2006 11:59 P GMT-04
Just recently we heard that Mohammed Babangida was being interrogated by the EFCC. No sooner had we heard that than we heard that he was already released. Then, next we heard that his father Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida threw a big 65th birthday bash
When Foxes Guard the Chicken Coop
Friday, 11 August 2006 11:59 P GMT-04
One of the most recent news coming out of Nigeria right now is that Obasanjo and his cronies are talking about granting themselves pay increases on the grounds that they are not adequately remunerated.
Goodbye Mrs. Ngozi Okonjo Iweala
Friday, 4 August 2006 12:33 A GMT-04
The word out there is that Mrs. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala has resigned. This is definitely another sad commentary on how Nigeria is run by this inept government. Perhaps, there are other reasons for Ngozi Iweala's resignation will be transparent in t
The Detribalized Nigerian
Saturday, 22 July 2006 11:59 P GMT-04
It was another hot and steamy day a few days back, and the earth baked in ceaseless heat. Everywhere you looked, parched humans were hurrying off to cool places to seek refuge against the merciless Sun. People were milling around swimming pools, were
As Onitsha Descends Into Anarchy..
Wednesday, 28 June 2006 5:11 A GMT-04
Over the past few days, horrifying reports have made the rounds on the harrowing cycle of violence that has once again fallen on the city of Onitsha in Anambra State. From the reports, one can quickly come to grips with the fact that needless blood h
Bakassi: A call for deep rumination
Saturday, 17 June 2006 5:09 A GMT-04
Thirteen years ago Nigeria had an election towards the end of IBB's eight years in power as a military Head of State. The pool of presidential aspirants was weaned down until finally, Nigerians were left with just Chief Moshood Kashimawo Olawale
Much Ado about Nothing
Thursday, 15 June 2006 11:59 P GMT-04
If you think that the Nigerian National Assembly is a veritable theatre for the absurd, you wouldn’t be too far from the truth when the actions that transpire in those halls are brought into glaring view. Barring the fact that members of this A
Spitting on the graves of the hapless dead!
Wednesday, 7 June 2006 2:10 A GMT-04
Whenever the sordid account of the Nigeria-Biafra war is raised, you would think that the present generation would critically examine the unfortunate events of yesteryears and draw some lessons on it. You would also hope that decent people would, wit
From the heap of ashes called Nigeria....
Thursday, 1 June 2006 5:07 A GMT-04
(I wrote this sometime in the past elsewhere. However, as I survey Nigeria's political scene, I am forcibly reminded that these calculations are not only feasible but inevitable. It has been edited for audience)

Is the North desperate for Power?
Tuesday, 30 May 2006 12:59 A GMT-04
Nigeria’s politics can be very insane sometimes to the average observer. The country has been independent for 46 years now and to tell you the truth, the country has only improved marginally since the white man left. The country was ruled by Northe
