AN ENIGMA, A GHOST AT BEST

  • We do not know his real name, we know the name he bears is adopted. He has neither denied this nor say it is the truth.
  • We do not know who his parents were.... we know the famous Iyalode of Eko was not his biological mother....
  • We do not know a single member of his extended family
  • We do know which schools he attended ... the one he submitted was not founded when he claimed he attended the school.. meaning, he used Oluwole certificate to gain admission to the College in the U.S. It is best to imagine the implication of this for future prospective Nigerian student into foreign university….
  • We do not know his real age because there are conflicting information on official documents
  • We do not know his real state of origin... we know he claims one but we know he is connected to another because his nephew was installed as a governor in one.....


His whole life is shrouded in misery and full of all kinds of questions. It reminds me of college politics when people with all kind of background scheme to grab power of the student union government at all cost..

I do not know how you can put a lipstick on a pig and call it beautiful... a pig is a pig, it will go back to the mud. You can dress him up today and curtail him, when no one is looking, he would go back to the mud. We have started seeing the signs.... insensitive spending of borrowed money for palliative that they share one 10 kg bag of rice for 147 households (check, that 10 kg will be more expensive than 50 kg bag),... gross abuse of the power and use of apparatus of government to torment and witch hunt political enemies, irrational decisions that have upended the lives of ordinary Nigerians, we see haphazard appointments across board - inexperienced minors being placed in sensitive positions and nepotism in appointment that shows as if public office is now the right of some families where you see two or three generations being appointed to the same public office. We see the same old culture where it is difficult to differentiate facts from tricks.... when obvious evidence that could shake our political direction was trashed on the ground of technicalities and one of their own came out to lampoon the justices for corruption .... and you see ordinary Nigerians who bear the most burden of failed state and unscrupulous activities of the political class come out to castigate a perennial politician who confessed to a life-style of stealing by politicians – just his conscience was pricking him. Aja tio o s’onu, ko ni gbo fere olode… A dog that will get lost in the jungle will not hear the whistling of its owner.

THERE IS A SHORT WINDOW FOR PEACE IN THE MIDDLE EAST, CONCERNED PARTIES SHOULD GRAB IT WITH BOTH HANDS

Exactly a year today, the terror organization Hamas struck terror in the hearts of Israelis. Over 1200, mostly innocent people were murdered in cold blood in the most barbaric way. The evil wrecked by Hamas reminds us of the evil we are capable of as humans if we think there will not be any form of accountability. The attack is condemned in all of its forms. Such should never happen again. My heart goes out to families mourning dead family members, and those still waiting for their families taken hostage to return to them alive.   Since then, the Israeli army has unleashed terror of their own on Hamas, in the process killing so many innocent Palestinians in an attempt to exterminate Hamas, and their own terror continues, mostly on innocent Palestinians. Israel engaged in what some called genocide by cutting off water, food, power, internet, and major resources to over 2 million Palestinians in Gaza. The world has condemned the way Israel is prosecuting the war because they have bee...

When you discover the wisdom of the universe, it is as if...

When you locate the wisdom of the universe, it would be as if you have a magic wand... Your prosperity rolls over, you climb to the top faster and leave many behind... Funke Akindele's movie, "A tribe called Judah" remains the highest-grossing movie in Nollywood (Nigeria's movie industry). I saw the movie last week and could not make head or tail of it.. But something was unique about it. It was the first Nigerian movie that cast MANY actors from all the major ethnic groups in the nation.. These are top actors... For so long, Nollywood has been divided along ethnic lines... You have the Yorubas doing their thing, the Igbos doing their own and our brothers in the North, the Hausas doing their own. But this movie cast actors from everywhere, so, it became a must-see for almost all Nigerians ... Funke Akindele is a talented writer, actor, and producer. But she is also a shrewd businesswoman. She located the wisdom in tapping the talent of diverse ethnic groups in Nigeria...
