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...

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...

How many times must I fall from my toe against your feet Before I count my teeth with my tongue, Mr. Despot? My expectations such as are your countrymen’s respite, How many declining expectations on account of fiat? We winged our dreams in great heights to herald our hopes, We must now jettison all aspirations to accommodate fear, Where freedom has lost all responsibility to bear, Whose aspiration inspires such thuggery, succumb to your dopes?...

The night was dark-blue in the face with a pale-yellow eye; an occasional passing glow filters through a black smoke blanket covering like dusk light through the windowpanes of a dark room,— The curtains are drawn. Not a good day to have conversations with the night: it can barely see us; not even a good month to listen to its stories— A voice unsure about the sounds it speaks; not even a fond season for...

The whole world is sitting down. Her nations’ gates are closed. The earth’s gravitation is frozen. The air everywhere is flu-bound. The sick can’t afford to be alive. The healthy are ordered inside. People are dying; Corruption and bad leaders are alive. Everywhere a strange visitor arrived, bearing a bouquet of red-blooded virus. Those with adequate governance loathes uncertainty with a name. Wealth and abundance abide In the West, the visitor pays it no heed....
