Why Liverpool will make Champions League and Madrid will not win La Liga

It would take incompetence on Liverpool’s side to not defeat Palace! It would be a monumental disaster the likes of which happened in north London recently where all that a fumbling home team needed to do was score one goal... ....But Atletico will be more determined to hold on and sit tight. They will defend their top position with bronze bars in Gimenez and Felipe. They, with Mountain Oblak behind them, will block any goal like...

Unknown Soldiers Unknown President

Lekki toll gate, 20/10/2020, 19:00. Night fell. The streetlights were put out. The moon was only starting to creep out. The people gathered. A dark cloud would descend on the expressway. It started raining. And thundering. The lightning and sounds were not from the sky. They were from the guns of armed military men pouring …

Twitter, the millennial and our world

Last July I deleted my Twitter account. Why? Partly because Twitter blocked me first. Why? Because I commented on a thread about a purported sexual misconduct involving the senior pastor of COZA and wife of famous singer, Timi Dakolo. I presume the tweep being an “influencer” (although a young and dynamic entrepreneur) must have reported …

Our village and our gods

Our roof is on fire. The rain now comes in trickles. We barely have enough to water our rich farmlands. The new yam has failed. Our roses have been plucked away to adorn the palaces of the kingdoms to the west and north of the endless river. Our cattle are stolen before our helpless eyes. …

To my friend, My single friend

You’re not going for shopping in a mall where goods have price tags. You’re not buying condiments inside Lagos traffic. You’re going to the open market at Oyingbo where Iya Tawa is the pepper seller... You don’t have a housemaid to send. Poor bachelor! You are going yourself.

Dear Nigerian Doctor

Dear Young Doctor, I write to you not as a doctor but as a friend. I know a lot is going through your mind in recent times. You recently finished your youth service and suddenly you were jeered to the reality of a profession you started getting acquainted with just over a year ago. You …

The Wedding Parties

This is a real life story of a wedding party that I attended on the same day I watched the unreal much-talked-about comedy The Wedding Party. Coincidence? Let me start with the wedding party of my friend. The Great Gatsby was the theme of the wedding reception. I had watched the movie but I had …

This Present Hustle

...Poor people were marched upon like pawns. The middle class, bleeding more money like wounded knights, became more irritable. The rich business and political kings and society queens became vulnerable. Our bishops and priests preached more comforting and morale boosting messages in the face of dwindling tithes and offering...

The Experience, My Experience

That mannequin challenge I saw on Facebook was fresh. Fresh, bearded and built, Pastor Paul was on point. The prelude to that yearly event was dope. My waka to TBS for The Experience 2016 was also interesting. Although this would be my first attendance, I anticipated a rush at the venue. So I bought unleavened …

Trump: When the world stood still

The US Election2016 has come and gone. What started last year as a joke and likened to hiphop rapper Kanye West's laughable presidential ambition has come to pass. Yes. Mr Donald Trump the popular real estate mogul, best-selling author, casino "royale" and The Apprentice Reality TV star is now on his way to the white …

When a Woman Cries

It's been such a long time. Apologies. But thank you for checking back once again. Better things to come. Meanwhile enjoy this. She was my first patient on that Monday and we started. One may say the elderly woman was a bit garrulous, but I understood she just wanted to uncork all her bottled …

Our President…My President.

The past few months have reinforced some of my political perspectives and at the same time taught me about the mind games tossed at us by the powers that be, both from the exalted public offices and the cyberspace; the twists, turns, emotions, sentiments and occasionally, the idiocy, ruthlessness and inhumanity attached. Nigeria as a …

Church, Money and the Public

Much have been said and many have heard. Little are helped, but many more are not clear. These are the realities I have observed in the wake of online talks and counter-talks involving the church, money, and the public. One may have noticed that some try to sit on the fence either in indifference or …

Philemon: the epistle in Pidgin

A part of The HOLY BIBLE inspired by the Holy Spirit and profitable for instructions. This is only a careful translation and does not (and should not be taken to) in any way play down the Spirit that speaks, rather it tries to bring the tone of the letter down to the understanding of the …

Ruth Abokoku

Many will agree that when a woman really falls in love with a man, she does so almost irreversibly such that she does everything possible to be in her man's heart always. Her affection is ravishingly sweet. She becomes lovesick without him. She will not give up easily even when that man strays a bit …

That Cranky Monday

It was another Monday just like any other that I had to go to work. I was so disorganized that morning that I returned to my room three times to pick something before finally getting on a bike that will get me down to my work. My flatmate who got up from bed long after …

John 3:16

For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. In the beginning God, Gen 1:1 God is the foundation of all things. All things started from Him. Even men. God made man to dominate all things but He will …
