[The Injustice Blog] IDPs attack on humanitarian workers is the price to pay for ignorance

The originator of the popular saying, “If education is expensive try ignorance” might not have predicted that the price for ignorance will exist centuries after his exit. The actions of the Internally Displaced Persons at the Gubio camp in Maiduguri, the Borno State capital, during the monthly distribution of relief items by a non-governmental organisation,...

The Thread: The dumbest reactions to Kemen’s disqualification from #BBNaija

Nigeria is such a strange place. Matters that are black and white elsewhere take on a coat of many colours in Nigeria. For instance, it is quite clear, more so with the evidence presented, that a sleeping person cannot consent to sex. In Nigeria, it isn’t. So tweets like these sampled below abound. Video Evidence...

The Thread: Here’s a perfect example of how the Nigerian police make people suffer everyday

How can a security agency set up for the security of citizens be so ignorant, brutal, harassing innocent people, basically doing everything else except what they were set up for. Here’s one more story from a... Read More

Opinion: How education can strengthen our democracy

by Lanre Olagunju True democracy stands for freedom from oppression and subjection. But freedom comes with a price; even the Holy Bible agrees that the price for freedom is knowledge.

A rejoinder: Opon Imo – Lest we fall into another collective ignorance
