How many times must I stumble, tripping on your deceit, Before I reckon the cost with a bitter tongue, Mr. Autocrat? Your false promises serve as your countrymen’s retreat, How many hopes have faded, crushed under your edict?   We soared our dreams to great heights, heralding our hopes, We must now abandon all ambitions, giving room for fear, Where liberty has lost its ability to bear, Who stirs such chaos, succumbing to your dangerous...

“The ruling is deeply troubling, and undermines the integrity of the electoral process, weakens public trust in democratic institutions, accentuates voter apathy, and threatens the progress Nigeria has made towards consolidating its democracy….” _______ Today, the first in a series of essays about the curse of Nigeria’s political class, I want to summarize the implications of the September 6, 2023, Nigerian Presidential Election Tribunal ruling by focusing on one of the worst consequences of the...

A weary soul, thoughts filled with longing, wandering spirits under the moon’s gentle glow, a gathering of hopeful minds, intertwined, united without loneliness, like kinfolk, together, yet untouched by solitude’s sting.   Solitary moonlight, casting away fears, as the lion’s courage ignites strength, nurturing peace within our shared existence. Grant me the serenity that surpasses conflict, for unity’s harmony shall thrive and bloom, even amidst the haze of uncertainty.   Passionate dreams, windows of hope,...

“There’s the concern that regardless of the outcome, the tribunal’s decision could further polarize an already divided society, stoking ethnic and regional tensions…” _______ As the Nigerian Election Tribunal deliberates over the fate of the country’s political leadership, an air of palpable anxiety hangs over the nation. Even in the diaspora –credit to social media and the Internet, where millions of Nigerians who live outside of their motherland followed the February 25, 2023 presidential election. ...

Today is Saturday the tenth day of the month of February twenty twenty-three. It’s morning once again.   And with no witnesses for birth, the morning undoes itself once again: The sun doesn’t disappoint, bright and focused, the air breaks open.   And because it’s Texas, uncertainty’s face is nothing new.   The humidity makes the impulse of love the red wash of the dark room, I can see us clearly.   The air is...

“It might be fair to ask how the Igbos arrived at this discreditable juncture”  It is no longer a speculation that in Nigeria, Ndi Igbo are faced with an extraordinary surge of different but overlapping security crises, from violent kidnapping, and crime, to extremist insurgencies destroying every corner of this region. Besides various unpopular pro-Biafran activists and groups, the activities of the Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB); the Indigenous...

Your heart is abode to dark secrets. Like grass watered by fertilizer That lost its green hue because It was promised unfulfilled nutrients and bright days; daylight saving time— named in order not to offend dawn. Our mind is abode to dark secrets. Even hope held by dawn Left disillusioned souls everywhere. Even the sun —bright and happy, is equally losing its appeal. Do we still carry our minds like a bag? Our world is...

My love, may I ask this pandemic to return to its abode with the thorns of unwelcome gift–spiked red-eyed bouquet of dreads to caress our land. This visitor shouldn’t impose his will on the holder of deeds, stroking the hair of the young, leaving the old panting until their last breath. Maybe you’ll remember — when this is all gone and forgotten, who slipped out from the darkness of night to find your face alone....

Federal and state government authorities should be leading the way in modeling pro-life values that put people’s health, safety and lives first. ______________ Despite the fact that Africa’s most populous country is third behind South Africa and Egypt as COVID-19 most impacted in Africa, schools across Nigeria are being asked to resume in-person classes. Daily assurances intended to ameliorate citizens’ anxiety caused by uncertainly about the pandemic can only go as far as bridging the...

This development will come as tremendous relief to millions of Nigerian who suffer from highly inadequate power supply to their homes or businesses. ______________ Something with potentially major transformative significance happened in Nigeria this week but it’s not getting much notice. It’s about power supply and electricity generation.  Obviously, this is not the kind of news that goes viral on social media or mainstream media. But it happened. And though President Mohammadu Buhari was never...
