Nigeria’s Impending Doom
I’d like to take a cue from Nneka's article about discussions going on among Nigerian bloggers nowadays. Nigerdude rendered a riveting perspective on Nigeria’s socio-economic quandary, which I though was a wake up call for all Nigerians. Fact is there isn’t a succinct way to put our national issues on one page of internet blog. I strongly believe that we can resolve our issues collectively with unyielding...

If you were the Governator what would you do?
It is 10:05p.m eastern US time. In 1hr and 56 min. Stanley Tookie Williams as we know him will be no more. Not that I’m perturbed for this brova but one just can’t help to listen in to the arguments generated by his plea for clemency after he was scheduled to be executed for the murder of 4 people back in 1979. Today Governor Arnold Schwazneger a.k.a 'Gorvernator' denied Tookie clemencyI must admit,...

The Policeman is always right
Friends, I strongly believe that the police are always right when it comes to brutality of black people. It is us (black folks) who are always wrong. Allow me to borrow 2Pac Shakur’s poem ‘Liberty Needs Glasses’ to make my point. This may appear contradictory at first but I beg you to read the whole thing:Liberty Needs Glasses by 2Pac Shakurexcuse me but lady liberty needs glassesand so does mrs justice...

27
I’m 27 18 seems like yesterday and 27 seemed like eternity Yesterday seems like yesterday when we used to dance to ‘O-P-P’ and style our haircuts like Bobby brown.18 was when Toni Braxton wanted to 'Breath again' and Shabba Ranks was the 'Champion lover'. 18 seems like its just gone by a second ago when we starched our school uniforms and wore our long white socks up to our dry ashy kneesonly to be...

Love and infatuation are the same in the beginning
Tell me. Don’t they all feel the same in the beginning? I’m talking about love and infatuation.You meet a total stranger for the first time and your heart skips a beat- Infatuation. Nothing could go wrong until the day after your first love making. Then you notice the scare on that person’s face which has been there all the while. He’s too short or she’s too skinny for me…and then heart break follows.Infatuation...

Blind Spot
The morning after. Just the way I had dreamt of it - The sun piercing through the huge kitchen window into my bowl of cereal on the round kitchen table. A smile darted across my lips and quickly fades away. I could smell her scent all over me -her love making. I couldn't pull myself together to read the magazine on the table. I was lost in thought. Still, I was stranded in the memories of last night...

Pardon me while I laugh!
It's just one of those days when time moves agonizingly slow. So I decided to use a few minutes to holler at my peeps out there.Perhaps I'm just a sucker for the truth or I'm just being plain retarded but I think I should get this thing of my chest for real. To my fellow Naija people who care to stop by and read blab, I hope to hear your opinion about this one. I feel I should take care of a little...

Let us all savor God's presence in African soccer
Is this God's miracle or what? I mean, we should have seen the writing on the wall long before the hand of God struck. For sometime, I thought African soccer was doomed under the perils of European soccer. When it seemed that we'll never get beyond the mercy of wealthy European clubs whisking our soccer talents away from us, God showed up. A continent once plagued with poor administrative management...
