South West Politicians, The Brave Scouts of Sick Presidents.

S

Is South West Nigeria the harbinger of sick presidents or this is just a myth? The South of Nigeria has produced perhaps the heaviest weight of politicians in Nigeria since her independence, but is South West Nigeria the harbinger of sick presidents or this is just a myth? In my opinion, South West politicians are largely responsible for the leadership problems we are facing in Nigeria since...

How To Stay Untouchable and Immune to Corona Virus (COVID-19)

H

I was particularly excited this morning to find out on Twitter that Mauritania is now 100% free from the novel Corona Virus also known as COVID-19, or for the sake of political correctness “The Chinese Virus”. I hope you didn’t misread that has “Marijuana”? It’s Mau-Ri-Ta-Nia, a whole country in sub-saharan Africa with an estimated population of 4,649,658 as at today according to UN data, so this...

The Origin of God

T

In the Beginning I once imagined I had an encounter with God and I’d like to share it with you. I had a fever, my body temperature was hitting the roof and it was as if my skin was being pried open with needles; somehow, I drifted into a sleep on the saggy sofa in my father’s living room and by the time I woke up, I was drenched in my own sweat. Oh! I actually had a dream, but it was one of those...

Trader Moni and the Silver Cycle

T

In an average democratic clime or semblance of it, the election year is always a very interesting year. After the government might have gone to sleep six months after the previous election is won and the juicy offices and portfolio are shared, all parties are usually united in corruption, shaking hands and sharing the commonwealth of the people without rancour, leaving just the few that feeds on...

TRUE YAHOO! STORIES… EPISODE 2

T

True Yahoo! Stories… (UNLEASHED) Apparently, I have been away from here for a couple of weeks now because of that thing they call “Mental Block” or should I call it “Early Life Crisis”? (I’m still very young biko!). I’ve actually been in a secondary purdah trying to figure out a whole lot of me, and how to become a better me lately, a whole world of things creating a whole level of shink in...

NIGERIA AIR! A PLAN TO GET IT WRONG AGAIN?

N

I was involved in a near fatal accident in January 2017. I was rushed to Gbagada General Hospital and was rejected without any form of medical assessment because there was no bed or something, I was told I was conscious but I can’t remember A THING. The same thing happened at Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH) until my bosom friend arrived and must have created a scene before a young...

Chike! Chimamanda! Chimobi and Others.

I know a little bit about everything and that’s the problem with me. Whenever there is a conversation, I always jump out of the blues with my factual perspective, I submit assertions and arrive at conclusions without even listening enough or sampling other perspectives and experiences because as far as I am concerned, I already know what they know, maybe a little bit but it is good enough. This...

ELSIE GODWIN TO THE RESCUE AS SHE UNVEILS HER GOSPEL ACCORDING TO BLOGGING “OYA START BLOGGING”

E

From the markings made by the cavemen, to the scrolls in the Vatican library, the Egyptian hieroglyphs to the braille for the blind, writing in all its forms has been the sure pathway to immortality from the day it was invented, way before Moses downloaded the Ten Commandments from the cloud with the Table of Stone or Tab as it will called today, to the very next key I will strike in my attempt...
