‘Titanic’ can mean something that is very big, gigantic or enormous and it was also the name of a ship that sank on its maiden voyage. When the Titanic sank in 1912 it sank due to a number of avoidable factors: a ship deemed unsinkable that wasn’t fitted with watertight compartments, a ‘unprofessional’ seasoned captain […]
Continue ReadingI’m not a big fan of reality TV programmes: the original concept of showcasing the lives of ordinary people has been lost in a maelstrom of faceless (- and often talentless) wannabes acting out badly written scripts in an effort to boost ratings and get their fifteen minutes of fame. ‘Big Brother’ started out as […]
Continue ReadingLet’s say I want to re-build a nation that’s already on life support and clinically dead. The population is blaming the politicians, past and present, for the predicament the country is in and the politicians themselves are blaming each other. With elections looming, the politicians have started their usual game of lying, trying to outwit […]
Continue ReadingAs the condolences pour in for the victims of the St. Francis Catholic Church, Owo, Ondo State terrorist attack in which more than 50 people lost their lives with scores injured the rest of the country is left wondering why God would let such atrocities happen. So, has God left Nigeria? A lot of religious […]
Continue ReadingIt’s going to be a different world when all this palaver with Ukraine is over: ‘Bad Boy’ Russia will be relegated back to its former cold war status, its economy in ruins and Vladimer Putin will become Public Enemy Number One. Ukraine, on the other hand will be rebuilt and remain an independent nation. Wars […]
Continue ReadingWhen you look at Nigeria today you see a replay of the ‘Wild, Wild West’ of America in the 1800s when anarchy, lawlessness and the near non-existence of a central government existed: cowboys and Indians were killing each other; slaves were worked to death on plantations and the few rich were getting fatter – and […]
Continue ReadingNigeria has recently been voted for as one of the safest countries in the world to live in. It has a zero-crime rate and you’re a lot safer walking the streets of Lagos than you are in London or New York. This of course, is one big fat lie! As part of his Eid el […]
Continue ReadingThe new breed of femme fatales is young, pretty – and they can kill you! The on-going case of Chidinma Ojukwu has gripped – and shocked – the nation and the one question everybody is asking is why did a young lady like her kill a grown man. The answer is simply – Money! If […]
Continue ReadingNigeria is a funny and strange country to live in and the lawmakers are even stranger making you think whether they’ve lost touch with reality all together: recently the Senate is trying to push a Bill, the Terrorism Prevention(Amendment) Bill 2021, through that threatens to imprison anybody, for up to 15 years, if they pay […]
Continue ReadingOn the TV game show “ Who wants to be a Millionaire?” all you have to do to win a cool million is to answer 15 questions correctly: you have the added advantage of asking the audience, phoning a friend or going 50:50. All you have to be is clever enough to answer all the […]
Continue ReadingThe Nigerian Police Force is an outdated, inefficient and corruption-ridden institution that lacks the ability to fight crime in the 21st century. The lawlessness of the Fulani herdsmen has yet again brought into focus the heightened insecurity of living in Nigeria. This has led to a number of Southern states to consider expelling them from […]
Continue ReadingWe saw how the revolution led by the late Jerry Rawlings in the early eighties cleaned up Ghana and made it the promising nation it is today; we all saw how the Arab Spring Revolution of 2010 brought sweeping changes to the Middle Eastern countries and people are wondering when there will be a revolution […]
Continue ReadingThis it! The Whole world is going crazy and you need to prepare yourself to go through incredible tough times for a long time to come! You need to be more tougher than ever to see these troubled times through ( See my previous article ‘When the going gets Too tough’). The whole wide world […]

Continue ReadingIt’s 2020, a new year and a new decade. You spent the latter part of last year putting together a list of New Year resolutions – things to do, things to stop doing and things you aspire to do. It all looks good. Come January the 1st and you’re all fired up and ready to […]
Continue ReadingThe new wave of democracy sweeping across Africa was meant to usher in a new kind of freedom – freedom to elect leaders of choice, freedom of religion and most important of all freedom of free speech. Sadly these so-called ‘freedoms’ are being repressed across Africa. In recent times we’ve seen President George Weah closing […]
Continue ReadingCorruption has been the bane of our lives ever since Nigeria came into existence: every year billions and billions of Naira of public funds are stolen with very few prosecuted. Our judiciary is laughable and with one former president claiming he doesn’t believe corruption is a crime, politicians will continue to loot with impunity knowing […]
Continue ReadingI’ll introduce this article by saying “with great power comes great responsibility!” (- a line I pinched from the ‘Spiderman’ movie!). Man has always craved power whether it be political, spiritual or financial power: it becomes the aegis necessary to stand out from the crowd. Some people have it while others clamour for it. There […]
Continue ReadingDespite the fact we’re living in the 21st century the ugly issue of domestic violence against women ( – and sometimes men!) is on the increase and growing to epidemic levels. The main perpetrators of this crime are some Men who believe God gave them a pair of fists for the sole purpose of beating up […]
Continue ReadingFor some, success comes easy while for a great many of us we have to toil for it. The writer, Piers Plowright once said that “great men do not walk easy roads”. To get to where you want to be in life can often be a laborious journey: there are no shortcuts; there are but […]
