Nigerians abroad have debunked the notion of the inferiority of African mental acumen. They have conquered in every facet of life they have been given a chance and they continue to defy every stereotype. For centuries, Africans have been touted as people with small brains, incapable of assimulating complex endeavors and primitive. African leaders who were installed as puppets by the colonial masters have not helped the situation, they have siphoned the wealth of the continent with the connivance of their western collaborators. The continent and its people have become beggars before the western nations who have turned them to projects they use to conjure money from among themselves in the name of charity where as much as 70 - 80% of the money raised for African charity goes into overhead. They show images of hungry kids crying to move people to donate, and when you appear in their country, they look at you with pity in light of poor children they see on television who is seeking a ha...

Even though most medical practitioners and fertility professionals claim there is nothing one can do to guarantee having a male child, however, there is a simple technique that can be tried by the parents seeking a male child. We tried it and it worked for us. The process of having a baby is when a man and woman come together in a physical union called mating or coitus. The male organ-penis goes into the female vagina, and at the climax, the male releases millions of cells (sperm) in a fluid called semen, into the female vagina. These sperm cells now travel through the vagina and cervix into the uterus or Fallopian tubes for fertilization of the female egg also referred to as ovum. Out of the several millions of sperm released (as many as 600 million sometimes), often, only one succeeds in fertilizing the egg at conception. This is what grows into a baby. How do you ensure it is the male sperm that fertilizes the ovum? 1. Work with the female ovulation cycle Couples who m...

The WEAPON that is Hacking Democracy - Alternative Facts. When I was very young, 8, 9 10 years old, I was interested in political talk. I would listen with keen interest when my father, a very intelligent man, would analyze political ideology. Often, there are two sides, UPN and NPN in 2nd the republic Nigeria, SDP and NRC in the 3rd republic Nigeria, now PDP and AD/ANC/APC in the fourth republic - at a point in time, it is always true that one side is lying and the other side on truth. Then I read about Adolf Hitler, how he used propaganda to sell lies to convince Germans that they were a superior race and that the rest of the world should bow to them and the Jews were the only threat and they were all indirectly sentenced to death and he murdered them in millions with the help of his countrymen. Any dissent opinion was silenced in anyway Hilter could - the lies were spread so much that it was NORMALIZED. There is a DANGER when lies are normalized. Since, then, ma...

For 16 years, Nigerians believed that their problem was a political party called PDP. The other side agitated for those 16 years to wrestle power from PDP and many of us supported them. That other side has been in power for almost 5 years now, and things have gone from bad to worse compared to the PDP years. The money APC government has borrowed in 5 years is multiple of what PDP borrowed in 16 years, and the economy has gone down the drain. Nigeria has become the poverty capital of the world, and millions of children are out of school, there are no hospitals, unemployment is double digits and it has remained so for the better part of Buhari's time in office. The security situation has gone worse because the president is complicit due to the involvement of his kinsmen - he has shown zero will to tackle the problem decisively. The consequences of this is crack in the wall of the entity called Nigeria - with Amotekun launch in the South West and the US ban of Nigerians from ce...
