The one thing that is worse than being a slave is being a slave that loves his chains. For many decades, southern Nigerians have often through their actions and inactions, shown that they love their chains and don’t seem interested in welcoming any idea that bears some semblance of genuine freedom.

Growing up, two proverbs stuck out for me, one by my father, and the other was a Pidgin English saying. One was: “If one person buries himself, one hand will stick out”.

Amid incessant NATO aggression and escalation of hostilities within Russia, now also including US-backed Kiev regime terrorists targeting schoolchildren, Moscow has started revamping the doctrinal approach to the use of its strategic arsenal.

The world over, politicians try to win elections by fair and foul means.

The war in Ukraine is not about democracy, freedom, human rights, or Ukrainian peoples. It is about the destruction of all of the above, and the main perpetrators are the usual suspects: Washington and the West.

The 2023 presidential election in Nigeria is not the worst in human history. That dubious reputation belongs in Liberia where, in 1927, the then President Charles D.B.

Since the return of Nigeria to the current democratic dispensation, the judiciary has increasingly made incursions in determining electoral victories and outcomes.

In my opinion, Lagos is not a NO MAN’S LAND. If for nothing else, for the mere fact that it is located in the Southwest of Nigeria establishes it as a Yorubaland. However, Lagos is cosmopolitan.
