Biafra’s “May 30 solemnness” is now a shameful blood-spattered rite of remembrance.

Desperate activists bastardize Biafra’s “May 30, sacredness” into an outrageous blood-spattered rite of remembrance. On December 7, 1941, the Japanese bombarded Pearl Harbor, killing thousands of U.S. servicemen. America, divided by ideological differences concerning warfare, united behind a declaration of war with Japan. That is the power of communal closeness after a tragedy. Thus, the psychology of unity after tragedy remains a natural phenomenon that instills a feeling of closeness following a tragedy. It breaks down walls...

Nigerian Politics 101: Malami was not comparing – he was wisely threatening and instigating a reprisal

“Until this country undergoes a total overhaul of its governance system, nothing moves – not in north, south, east, or west,” ― Dr. Anthony Obi Ogbo For three days now or so, Nigeria’s political terrain has been stormy, but there was no natural weather condition. No, there was no rain.  Last Tuesday, state governors from the southern part of the country, met in Asaba and issued a communique in which they demanded the immediate restructuring...

Stacey’s Playbook —Are Controversial Nigerian Activists Learning Anything?

Sociopolitical activism is not a chorus for the backstreet youth. Nope, it is not a contest for social media “likes” and “shares”, neither is it a tool for an income-earning opportunity. ― Dr. Anthony Obi Ogbo Anybody can be an activist. It just depends on the political environment. Japanese activist Yuri Kochiyama said, “I didn’t wake up and decide to become an activist. But you couldn’t help notice the inequities, the injustices. It was all...

‘Igbos for Trump’ ― A Callous Betrayal of ‘Biafra-Haiti Ancestral Covenant’

Igbos forgot that it was Haiti, not Israel that stood by them, took them in, fed them throughout the three years of a failed war to sustain the Biafran nationhood.  ― Dr. Anthony Obi Ogbo I recall in 2010 when the then Anambra State Governor, Peter Obi, led a Nigerian delegation, comprising the Red Cross, the private sector, the entertainment industry representatives to evaluate the level of damage by the 7.2 earthquakes that devastated Haiti....

Comedy of Nigerian Trumpsters ― a reflection on Donald Trump’s reelection mayhem

“In a modern democracy, evangelicals are satanic weapons of mass destruction.” ― Dr. Anthony Obi Ogbo In my previous article, I had classified Black people stomping for Donald Trump as “Idiots”. This was not because there is anything wrong with supporting a politician or a party, but, thoughtless political support confutes the very core purpose of what politics should be. Thus, political affiliation without substantial attachments of interests and benefits might end up as a...

Blacks for Trump — An Obnoxious Case of Imbecility

These selfish morons trivialize the blood of their forebears that have constantly watered the tree of liberty.  ― Dr. Anthony Obi Ogbo An African proverb says that a man who is not mindful of how his father died is most likely to become  victim of the exact thing that killed his father. This expression holds true when we view in awe, the deliberate ignorance, and blind emotional path many of my African American brethren are...

Anatomy of a Stone Face ―an ode to Tyranny

NOW COMES the stone face even the dream is scared to lodge; devoid of any sway to arouse interest amongst mankind Eyes stubbornly disruptive and unwilling to conjoin adjacent brows; on an oversize-head, decked with irreconcilable facial features     NOW COMES this foul face even the Creator now questions; with unkind eyes so unsightly dazed the devil bowed to pray True, this dude, rude and crude, rules like a mindless bull; prowling furiously with...
