Please, this is not a true account. This is a writer pretending to know what’s going on in the mind of General Babangida as he lives through another June 12 knowing people are judging him for annulling “their election”. Sigh, 24 years already! Every year since 1993, I have had to endure the shades, the... Read More

Thought Experiment: What if Hillary Clinton were the American President?

Consistently, for about five days now, Donald Trump has either done something appalling or said something even more appalling. He has just appropriated a horrific situation – the terror attack in London – to push his Travel Ban agenda as well as show off the “superiority” of his own stance on gun control. He also...

Thought Experiment: What if it’s best we let the sick Buhari stay in office?

by Soma Oj. That President Buhari is extremely ill has only been emphasised by his public reappearance at today’s Jum’at prayers. He appeared for the prayers and was caught in a video that has now gone viral looking gaunt and appearing to stagger as he walked. For two straight weeks, the nation had been left... Read More

#BBNaija Thought Experiment: What if Efe’s “against all odds” story is all a scam?

by Soma Oj. So Efe gave a compelling final campaign speech in the Big Brother Naija house last night. All four finalists did and we can confidently say that Efe’s speech moved us the most – but that was only for about 2 minutes. Now we can explain that. A dapper-looking Efe, in a navy... Read More

Thought Experiment: What if Kemen’s eviction from #BBNaija is the proof we need that feminism is slowly becoming patriarchy?

*This is not a real opinion. This is a writer trying to explore a theory that has been touted around: that feminists are becoming the perpetrators of the very inequality that they so strongly condemn. In doing this, we hope to explore the reasoning behind the organisers of Big Brother leaving Debbie-Rise on the show while... Read More

Thought Experiment: What if Trump is actually doing a lot better than we give him credit for?

LoL. No, he is not. But what if? You know every day these Fake News outlets just cook up lies against him because he won and Hillar y lost. All we hear about in the News is how he’s tried to discriminate against all Muslims when all he wants to do is secure Americans. And how... Read More

[The Presidential Blog] Have you started considering your post-Buhari options yet?

Disclaimer: This is no wicked, callous, hateful or unkind post intended to “kill” our President. Wait, why do we have to explain this again? Anyway, if you are one of the people that experienced the painful ordeal that shrouding the late President Umaru Musa Yar’adua’s sickness in secrecy visited upon Nigerians (or those who have read...

Thought Experiment: So what if Buhari had actually died?

Disclaimer: We are not one of those who wish any ill-luck on President Buhari. Spare us and just hear us out. Last week, there were rumours flying around following President Muhammadu Buhari’s vacation that he’d fallen ill and had given up the ghost in the United Kingdom. While those rumours were false and most likely ill-motivated... Read More

Thought Experiment: What if Goodluck Jonathan were still president?

You cannot even lie that this has not crossed your mind. *** March 28th, 2015: Imagine if you had rejected all of Muhammadu Buhari’s promise of Change and voted for transformation instead. Basically one and the same message except that the one got Buhari the honour of being transformed from “General” to “President” while the other... Read More

Thought Experiment: What if Kanye really runs for the U.S Presidency in 2020

At the August 30th, 2015 VMAs, Kanye, admitting that he’d been smoking some announced his decision to run for the United States Presidency in 2020. There’s no way to summarise his announcement without taking away from the Kanye-charm. So here goes: “Y’all might be thinking right now, ‘I wonder: Did he smoke something before he... Read More

Thought Experiment: What if Reuben Abati is actually right – about the demons in Aso Rock?

Our friend, Reuben Abati, is a brave man. Surely he must have known, when he wrote his latest opinion, that he would become the recipient of vehement ridicule for daring to voice, to an intelligent audience, a thought that anyone who has had conversations with Aso Rock inhabitants, or who has listened to Pentecostal pastors...

Muhammadu Buhari, president of Nigeria, said something last Friday that was, to put the finest face on it when you parse public opinion, impolitic. Asked about his wife who had criticized him sharply in public on the BBC Hausa Service (and has, markedly, not said anything else or tried to apologise since, despite the firestorm... Read More
