In Anambra and Edo states FRSC officials usually use a vehicle driven by a FRSC official to block the expressway when they want to stop vehicles. This is not only unsafe and dangerous but reckless and irresponsible. I asked one of the FRSC officials that came to me when I was stopped along Benin expressway why they were engaging in such reckless and dangerous behavior considering the fact that a vehicle on high speed could ram...
Until Nigerians irrespective of tribe or religion feel safe and proud enough to claim Nigeria as their nation and refer to the president as our leader we cannot say we have had a good leader in Nigeria. I heard from people from India, Egypt and Pakistan that relocated to Dubai several years ago saying our leader did this, our leader will do that etc and they weren't talking about the leaders in their respective countries, they...
Why export yams (never mind that they got spoilt and were thrown away as waste) to other countries when even the middle class cannot comfortably afford to buy yams let alone the poor?

That is why societies that engage in self cleansing like Boys Oye don't usually have criminals living...
People like complicating simple matters. If the tradition says no to a widow having sex on the late man's bed why not have the same sex elsewhere? Must it be in the widow's house and the bed she shared with her husband? Until the tradition is changed offenders caught would be punished. Same thing with the law of the land, if the law says rape is a crime and you are caught raping someone you will...
As we drove past the school gate other students were doing manual labor close around the main field that served as venue for our inter house sports there were chants of "007", "James Bond", "Double 07", "Bond Bond", "Mr Bond" etc in the air the moment some of my school mates saw me in the car. My step mum (may her soul rest in peace) and her brother were bringing me back to school (Command Secondary...
The world especially developing nations should be grateful to China because without China a lot of developing nations would have been worse off today when it comes to access to technology.From cheap mobile phones to cheap solar panels to cheap electronics to cheap medical equipment the story is the same - gadgets that would have been too expensive for most people to acquire are in the hands of such people today and we have China to...
The Sultan of Sokoto Sa'adu Abubakar and Emir of Kano Sanusi Lamido Sanusi could become the real heroes of the North if they are able to survive the attacks from the Northern elites and help liberate the Northern youths from the shackles of poverty, ignorance, religious bigotry and ignorance.If the energy these Northern youths have are channeled into productive ventures the North will be transformed in no time and if Nigeria remains one the country will...
