Opinion: We are all child abusers!

I don’t recall how exactly it happened, but I remember I was almost in primary 4 when I finally started to read. It was embarrassing to see that most of my classmates could actually point out the words from the reader but I couldn’t. It was quite easy for me to cram the whole passage... Read More

Opinion: The danger in the proposed rehabilitation of repentant Haramites

Frankly speaking, this is the least I will comprehend from Buhari and his government, not even in my daydreams. It’s the greatest mistake to be done at this critical time in our national struggles.
