IT IS TIME TO END THE FAILED EXPERIMENT CALLED NIGERIA
|
Extrapolating from the on-going killing of Christians by Hausa-Fulani Muslims in the Middle Belt part of Nigeria, this paper says that given inherent Muslim desire to convert non-Muslims to Islam and or kill those who resist such conversion that Nigerian Christians are at constant risk of being killed by Muslims; therefore, it argues that splitting that artificial political construct called Nigeria into its tribal components is the best way to prevent Christians from being slaughtered by the blood thirsty hounds from the Northern part of Nigeria.

RULERS GO DOWN WITH THEIR EMPIRES
|
This piece points out that those who benefit from extant polities generally do not change their minds about the virtues of their polities even if it is crystal clear to bystanders that their polities are oppressive; it says that those rulers are blinded and defend their polities until both of them fall and are replaced by new ideas on how to organize the human polity. It is therefore a waste of time trying to change the extant rulers’ ideas; they and their polities should be replaced.

Ibori is an innocent man because the 170 charges against him have been quashed. In other words, vindication all around for the person of the ex-Governor.

Speaking Truth To Power: ‘African Majority’ Churches and the Conversion of Britain
|
An example is in a society where time keeping is kept at premium we cannot export time sloppiness ('African Time') and expect a positive or serious response. Another illustration might be the nature of songs we sing, do they exclude 'outsiders'? Do we celebrate other national days, events such as the 'Remembrance Day' or we remained focused on only our own days?

My Hubby, Bode George, As A Scapegoat
|
With this jungle judgement, Justice Oyewole has attempted to reduce my husband’s rank from upper-upper big man class. We, the family will resist any endeavour to downgrade our breadwinner from his well deserved apex class. It means a lot to us. Not only because of this, but because we consider it a selective judgement which is what BG has been fighting against all his life. Live and let live and chop is his favourite song. Is my pet that bad? I don't think so and the next paragraph shall vindicate my claim.
