In no religion—except in the worship of pride and hypocrisy—is denying the helpless, a virtue. ―Sonala Olumhense Meet Ebele Obiano, a 58-year-old Nigerian woman. If you have ever wondered why nothing works in Nigeria, she is proof. Ebele is the wife of the governor of Anambra State, Willie Obiano. By her own account she was recently in the United States, where her daughter became a medical doctor a few years ago. As everyone knows, the US has developed...
Those profiting from electioneering and elections in Anambra state might have their best year yet, in this year’s gubernatorial election. ―Ebuka Onyekwelu As the Anambra governorship election gets closer, political considerations shape nearly every action of government and non-government actors. Politics takes preponderance over governance, as it is exalted to the front, centre, and back rows. Within the government circle, not much happens except schemes on how to get an acceptable candidate into Government House....
“Pastor Kenneth Copeland is the craziest of them all. With eyes popped like a pair of demitasse spoons, a large swath of his craziness is written on both cheeks of his face.” ―Don Okolo Like the budding tendrils of a rosebud, reacting to the warmth of an early morning sun, the American Evangelical Herd stand in frailty, bent out of shape for being overly reverential, cringing almost, before these miasmas of pure darkness, as they...
“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...
This kind of Police is a sad reminder that despite her pretensions to the contrary, Nigeria is not yet a 21st Century organized country. ―UgoGold Nzeakonobiukwu Ofonedu As is the case everywhere in the world, the job of providing security within the boundaries of Nigeria is the exclusive preserve of the Nigerian Police Force. And through the years, the Nigerian Police Force have evolved from a tiny Constabulary Unit which took care of the British...
As a practicing Catholic, I do not go to confession. These priests do not deserve to hear my sins that belong in the Ears of God. ―Don Okolo There is a Catholic priest in Louisiana, and he takes the cake. I don’t know what his name is, but I guarantee you the one called Samael, Lucifer, that is, does. If anyone in the realm of Heaven is weeping right about now, it is Jesus, The...
“Evidence-based medicine should not be rejected or disregarded, especially if it produces potent results after treating COVID-19 patients successfully, as Dr. Immanuel did, regardless of whether the knowledge comes from the Northern or the Southern hemisphere,” —Dr. I. D. Onwudiwe For this article, I am inspired to write about Dr. Stella Immanuel’s much-touted video on her treatment of COVID-19 patients in her medical clinic in Houston, Texas. Absent of any extensive background in the science...
“I am simply asking you to recalibrate their stance when they stand before the world to speak. Candor. Resoluteness. Magnanimity. These are catch phrases you must instill in these half nuts” ―Don Okolo These famous last words: ‘Walk slowly but carry a big stick’ does not apply to Nnamdi Kanu. I will state it bluntly; the adage shamefully escapes him and those around him that are working with furious bent to remove the kinks from...
This offer to refuse one billion dollars is harsh, but this offer to pick the Mind and Power of Jesus, is mean —Don Okolo For some people, having one billion dollars in their pocket is tantamount to having more money than God…especially, if the money was an overnight acquisition…literally, overnight. And you are not a gambler, meaning you hadn’t gambled on Lotto tickets the previous day on the likelihood you could win big. I love...
