Demola Rewaju: Like Jesus Christ, you can make your own comeback

by Demola Rewaju “He made the greatest comeback in history…” There is just something about great movies that reaches deep into your soul and get your emotions deeply involved with the plot. Some movies like Titanic are evergreen because of the emotional plot and the tragic ending – you watch it over and over again... Read More

Demola Rewaju: Dear Sister, these are 9 men you must NEVER marry

by Demola Rewaju The absolutely worst thing you can do is to marry a man who is not ready for marriage in his own opinion – he’ll forever remind you of the fact. You may see his apartment, his good job with steady income and conclude that he is ‘husband material’ but if he... Read More

Demola Rewaju: But how can we fight Boko Haram with less than 100,000 soldiers?

by Demola Rewaju In the three states where a state of emergency is currently in place, we can only afford to deploy about 40,000 soldiers. Let me start this piece out by reiterating what I set out to do with this blog – to write not as one who knows all the answers but one... Read More

Demola Rewaju: Rebase the GDP all you can but we are still poor

by Demola Rewaju All that the announcement did was to make official something we’ve known all along but the way some are going on about it makes it seem as though poverty started under Goodluck Jonathan or that a better government can eradicate poverty. The true role of government is to create an enabling environment... Read More

Demola Rewaju: Dear sister, here are 9 signs you’re taking your jealousy too far (Y! Superblogger)

by Demola Rewaju We men like our independence and when you choke a man and he seems to succumb, he’s only pretending. He’ll find a way to get around your high prison walls without offending you. This he’ll do by lying to you about his whereabouts. 1. You Remember Every Female Name He Mentions and... Read More

Demola Rewaju: What has God got to do with Arsenal, Baba Ijebu & gambling? (Y! Superblogger)

by Demola Rewaju I have never met anyone who became rich through gambling except in games where skill counts. Even in ludo, you need a bit of luck if you hope to win: how can you even come out of your house if you don’t get a single 6? I’d rather bet on the things... Read More

Demola Rewaju: Lessons from Wawrinka’s win – How to fail better till you win (Y! Superblogger)

by Demola Rewaju Thirdly and most importantly, Wawrinka never quit. Maybe because of the stuff I’ve been through but I’ve never really been able to understand the mindset of people who throw in the towel. Failure is never permanent until you give up which is a very foolish thing to do. If history was written... Read More

Demola Rewaju: Abacha, honour and the necessary question mark

by Demola Rewaju The name ‘Sani Abacha’ and the word ‘honour’ (or the Americanised cousin ‘honor’) must never be used in the same sentence without a question mark somewhere in the sentential structure even if it means breaking all the rules of grammar. The man himself never understood what the word meant. The big question... Read More

Demola Rewaju: In LASU, the chickens have come home to roost

by Demola Rewaju Despite its Awoist pretensions, the AD/AC/ACN/APC governments in Lagos have made no secret of their desire to commercialise education as much as possible as far as the tertiary schools are concerned. First it was the government of Bola Tinubu that decided the fees of N250 was too cheap for students of LASU... Read More

Demola Rewaju: Attitude! The second wisest poem ever written

by Demola Rewaju For me, the wisest poem ever written is that Yoruba poem titled ‘Ise L’Oogun Ise’ written by J.F. Odunjo. I might just publish it sometime this week and add an English translation and transliteration. I first came across this lovely piece that is called a prose-poem about eleven years ago and ever...

Demola Rewaju: Boko Haram and the security expert in us all

Demola Rewaju: Excuse me, but why is Fela on the Centenary Award list?

by Demola Rewaju If private bodies and individuals love Fela and eulogise him, it is acceptable but as a state, are we giving officialdom to the antics of a man who pranced the stage wearing only pants (not trousers, underwear pants like those some of us wore as kids) and often with a large roll...

Demola Rewaju: How to deal with public service irritants like Sanusi

by Demola Rewaju The execution of the move was brilliant – nobody, not even Sanusi with his eagle-eyed spectacles saw it coming. The moves can be summed thus – suspend the Fulani CBN governor, appoint a Yoruba acting CBN governor and nominate an Igbo CBN governor. Brilliant execution of a well-planned punishment for a man...

Demola Rewaju: Dear Sister, use what you have to get what you want

Demola Rewaju: Lagos anti-smoking law is ideal but unrealistic

by Demola Rewaju Many smokers would rather pay a N500 bribe than have their time wasted. Would it not be a reflection of reality if the punishment was an immediate fine of N500 for which a receipt would be issued on the spot? Would many smokers not insist on collecting the receipt after paying N500... Read More

Demola Rewaju: ‘Oh brother, why shall I shy?’ – The lost art of approaching ladies

Each journalist was reportedly paid NGN36,000 and Gov. Fayemi of Ekiti state was unsparing in his condemnation of the exercise yet just... Read More

Demola Rewaju: Like Muslims, Christians have killed unbelievers too

by Demola Rewaju Historically, Christianity has its own dark era where wars were fought and people killed simply because they refused to accept the gospel of the Christ. As recently as a century ago, people were burned at stakes simply because they refused to confess Jesus as their saviour. Truth be told, if bombs and... Read More
