Why It Matters (#EndSARS)

I haven't written an article in so very long, that it was almost difficult making this one. This has taken me several days already, trying to keep up the fire in me to write this all out. I usually have a lot of thoughts. But these days I haven't had a lot of time or zeal to develop them.

Too many of us have seen the #EndSARS movement sweeping the nation. A movement, that I hope does not end anytime soon, because it is far too important to us as a generation. In just a week; we have shown what our voices and spirits can do when we put our minds to it. Funds have been mobilized to feed, help and protect protesters - with as little as 10-25 million naira being spent so far. And so far, we have seen far more to show for it than the supposed 600 billion naira approved for "COVID-19 palliatives".

Socialism

An economics professor at a local college made a statement that he had never failed a single student before but had once failed an entire class. That class had insisted that socialism worked and that no one  would be poor and no one would be rich, a great equalizer.

The professor then said, “OK, we will have an experiment in this class on socialism. All grades would be averaged and everyone would receive the same grade so no one would fail and no one would receive an A.

Something Simple

Our first mistake was in expecting  Buhari to fix Nigeria.

He is just one man.

Does Nigeria exist?

By Viola Okpara

Does Nigeria exist?

The question appears weird - I know.... very much like a question of one in an alcohol induced stupor. But are there people, who are, in fact through-and-through, purely and completely, simply "Nigerians"?

Aren't the yoruba more yoruba or the Hausa more Hausa or the Efik more Efik or Igbo more Igbo than being 'Nigerians'?

The Jamb Experience

With rumours of plans by the Federal Government to scrap the post-utme exams. I decided before they magically wake up someday and decide to remove JAMB, It would be good that I let the future know what we.... "enjoyed" in JAMB

It begins by you hearing that your seniors usually get like 230, 250 etc out of 400..... You laughed in french

Dullards..

  Afterall.... Anything below 80% was never meant for your destiny

Tell yourself the truth joor

The Wardrobe and The Bank

Ok so apparently our dear ol’ senators are getting 21.5 million naira as “wardrobe allowance” – which to be honest, I’m actually wondering how the people that came up with this budget managed to provide any kind of good reason for. Click on read more....
