How Hath the Mighty Fallen ―Dissecting the Mystery of the Trump’s Era

It is safe to say that even the great United States could fall prey to a snake oil salesman.  ―Don Okolo Well, the caption above isn’t exactly true. The United States is standing on the precarious edge of tipping over into a chasm of jagged rock tips. It is swaying dangerously, but hadn’t yet fallen over…at least, not yet. The next small wind could nudge it over. Believe me, it could come. And if it...

Weirdness of Donald Trump, His Nigerian Supporters, and Preachers from Hell

Strange political bedfellas from the cold, temperate Potomac to the mean, hot, tropical river Naija If you are going to lose in a chess game, you give up the king. If you were in a poker game, your choices would ride on your freaking abilities to bluff, and with that wild paste of ugliness that defines a gorilla’s mug…as in countenance…as in, you guessed it, a poker face. The oddities abundant in these wildly different...

If gold rust…what then would iron do? —Catholic Priests and unrestrained canal pleasures

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...

Current regime trends stir revival of xenophobic conspiracy theorists

White privilege is a beast. It is an innate, naturally concocted following…it is therefore hard to extricate oneself from its snares. ―Don Okolo Man has disintegrated badly; his mind is still functional in the sense that it still wants to satisfy the musings of those like him. But the rest of him has acquired real estate in the pit of squalor where he now sits in comfort writing essays of disdain and mischievous husbandry in...

Making sense of the forecast of the end of times

From the rockies to the Hudson, to the Potomac, beyond the great sand spread of the Sahara, to the river Naija, the end is on its way ―Don Okolo Life as we know it could be coming to an end. That is not a figure of speech. I have consulted with the shamans and medicine men, from the world’s renowned rainforests, from the swamplands of the Pantanal, to the critter-burdened monsoon regions of the far...

Hopeless State of Hopefulness: Enduring a Mob of Blood-Drunk Humans in Blue Garbs

If I were God. I would end it. If I were God, I would have the haters careening through the gates of hell proper…alive. ―Don Okolo I have had time, forty-something years and counting, to muse upon the fate of man the world over. And I have come to believe that a section of humanity would never rise from the quagmire of filth and disdain…from the vise-like grip the rest of the sultry smut have...

Contentious politics of ‘to leave or not to leave’  ―Ndi-Igbo must watch their damn steps

“We cannot, as Igbos, truly break away from this monster with her fangs wedged deeply into the functioning muscles in our body,” ―Don Okolo I understand the clamor, and I do understand the reasoning behind the push to carve out our own niche in a corner of the south and call it ours. Every single aspect of the maltreatment, and the vicious cruelty iced on the bedlam heaped on us, it seems that we have...

Could the “China Strategy” save Nigeria’s Intractable Corrupt Culture?

“Those of us living in the trenches of this Heartbreak Alley are faced with one undeniable fact: More than ninety percent of Nigerians are corrupt.” ―Don Okolo Maybe there is a redeeming feature about arresting two men and summarily executing them for bribery. I thought a long prison sentence would have been enough. But the Chinese are a different breed; the court went through the rigors to find out that these two men accused of...

Nnamdi Kanu: An Aimlessly Courageous Comrade Yearning for Humility and Strategy

“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...

Twenty-Four Hours As Jesus  —the test of righteousness  

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...
