@ChrisBamidele: Cheating- Things they don’t say (Y! Superblogger)

by Chris Bamidele I know I promised myself not to write about relationship or anything remotely connected to it. But I guess relationship talks are not something you can just wish away; the talk will somehow crop up, either on social media or with our buddies. So when I woke up today and got on... Read More

@DeboAdejugbe : The harvest of deaths at the Synagogue (Y! Politico)

by Debo Adejugbe We live in a hugely euphemistic society. One that deftly explains calamities away; with people accepting avoidable and catastrophic human errors as ‘acts of God’ which is geared towards the common good. This is a scenario that resounds well with each and every one of us irrespective of religious leaning. Recent happenings... Read More

@CollinsUma to @GeorgeAkume: Do not condemn a man just because he supports the President

by Collins Uma We are a funny people. We accept what we want to accept and discard the unacceptable, regardless of the size of evidence to the contrary. We are like the man that says ‘My mind is made up, don’t confuse me with the facts’. This total disregard for facts helps maintain our emotional... Read More

Femi Aribisala: The North can never be more populated than the South

by Femi Aribisala In 2011, more votes were cast in Zamfara than the total number of legitimately-registered voters, according to the revelation of INEC’s clean-up exercise. Everything turns upside down in Nigeria. Logic becomes illogical. Wisdom becomes foolishness. Two plus two becomes seven. Hospitals become mortuaries. Stealing is not corruption. Education is a sin. In... Read More

@Mcjarus : Why I may go into politics soon (Y! FrontPage)

by Suraj Oyewale In the last one year I have strongly considered joining the murky waters of politics, specifically in my home state of Kwara. Although my family back home are known more for business and, in my generation, production of professionals (accountants, doctors, engineers etc), rather than politics, our patriarch, 100-year-old Alhaji Salawu Oyewale,...

Chukwuemeka Eze: How to save Nigeria from the PDP

by Chukwuemeka Eze THE CURRENT STATE OF NIGERIA The wise King Solomon rightly posits that, “When the righteous increase, the people rejoice, but when the wicked rule, the people groan” (Proverb 29:2).

@AdaobiOkwy: The Church and a certain ignorance (Y! Superblogger)

by Adaobi Okwy I was at the Sunday school Bible some time ago where we were talking about faith, trusting God, having no doubts…you know, going the whole nine yards with God. It was flowing until… “do not worry about the economy. Don’t listen to them…God is the one in charge of our tomorrow…”. I held... Read More

@SonalaOlumhense: A litany of recent misdeeds – Nigeria style

by Sonala Olumhense Last July, the Government of Nigeria announced it had placed orders for the Nigeria Air Force of 40 helicopters, towards ending the routing the insurgents in the North of the country “once and for all.” The orders were said to have been placed in the United States and Russia, and some of them were...

Opinion: Will the true Muslims please stand up?

by Tofarati Ige I personally do not like to be drawn into matters that have to do with religion. Especially, when it has to do with other faiths, but in these present times, not to discuss it would be almost criminal. With the deadly siege laid against Nigerians in recent times by the terrorist group,... Read More

Femi Falana: Why Nigeria needs private prosecutors

by Femi Falana Corruption manifests itself in numerous and varied ways. It could be petty or incidental, involving small-scale embezzlement, misappropriation, bribes, favouritism or discrimination. Corruption can also be more systematic and include bribes and kickbacks by private and public actors, large-scale embezzlement and misappropriation of funds and economic privileges accorded to special interests.

by Max Siollun Juju , native medicine, black magic….call it whatever you want, but do you believe in it? In a country as deeply religious as Nigeria, there is still great belief in non-Christian/Islamic supernatural forces. Nigerians seem to have a two-tier belief system.
