#Aluu4: Lest we forget – Report from last week’s Rubbin’ Minds

by Isi Esene Plenty has been said about the tragic mob murder of four undergraduate students of the University of Port Harcourt. Nigerians are gradually settling down to the familiar routine; putting it all behind and moving on… until it happens again. This edition of Rubbin’ Minds set out to put answers to nagging questions... Read More

Kathleen Ndongmo: Dana Air – Tragedy, trial and error (YNaija FrontPage)

Dear Ms. Oduah: a well-informed citizen is a well-protected one. It is not enough to promise that you will keep on “enhancing and enhancing and enhancing”. Tell us what happened. A couple of months ago, I spilled coffee down the front of my pristine white shirt – right at the beginning of a work day. ... Read More

Kathleen Ndongmo: Waving the Defenceless Flag (YNaija FrontPage)

Of course it’s easier to preach non-lethal methods than to enforce them. But isn’t that what separates us from the professionals? Have you seen the video of the Lonmin miners getting shot? Heard outraged comparisons between this massacre and the killing of Andries Tatane, the unarmed SA man who was beaten and shot dead by... Read More

Kathleen Ndongmo: Going AWOL – Africans in the Diaspora (YNaija FrontPage)

There are so many things about leaving home for “greener” pastures that turn out to be much less glamorous than advertised. “And the Olympic gold medal for seeking asylum goes to… Africa!” That’s not my line. It’s a cheap gag I found on the Internet and it irritated me a little... Read More

This logic matter: “Let’s do what they’re incapable of doing in Aso Rock; let’s think!”

by Rotimi Fawole I would rather logic prevailed over intuition. They say the mark of having had a fulfilling time in the university is that not only do you pass through the university but it also passes through you. I’ve never quite been sure if that expression is anything besides a fluffy Nigerianism but, if the university passing through... Read More

Kathleen Ndongmo: Thought for food – Breed Africa’s hopefuls… (YNaija Frontpage)

Being somewhat of an Afro-phile, I believe that the best way to bring Nigeria and Africa forward is through locally grown talent cultivated in opposing fashion to the brain drain Recently I watched this video of a group of teenage school boys from Zimbabwe who use old tyres as springboards to perform stellar acrobatic moves....

Kathleen Ndongmo: “My God is a big-picture kind of guy” – Conscience-free Hedonism is Here! (YNaija Frontpage)

But before the ladies file down their fingernails and the boys start flexing a bicep through a marathon of self-sexing, maybe we should cool our jets long enough to look at the furore around the Pastor’s comments. When I was about 14, I remember seeing a girl flaunting a T-shirt that said: “God is watching... Read More

“Uncouth, uncivilised, indecorous” – A Rejoinder to Kathleen Ndongmo’s YNaija Frontpage article

by Isi Esene (@iDova) I read Kathleen Ndongmo’s piece on YNaija Frontpage, a platform (not unlike ThisDay Backpage) provided for selected young men and women to articulate their perspective and contribute positively to the National discourse. Her article was blunt and straight to the point. I think it is a good write-up. It touches on... Read More

Kathleen Ndongmo: Nigeriaphobia- Continental Ambivalence? (YNaija Frontpage)

While the shakiness of the African brotherhood at government level comes as no surprise, the online eye rolling and the sense of; “Oh, those Nigerians again.” is worth a closer look. You know a fun game to play online? Try: What perceptions does the world have of people like me? Say, you’re a black woman... Read More
