President Laurent Gbagbo in an Extended Universe

Emmanuel Omoh Esiemokhai -
Gbagbo wants all men and women on planet Earth to accept his multiversity theory that he won the recent elections in Ivory Coast. But  this is false. He lost.

A Call on the British Prime Minister

Emmanuel Omoh Esiemokhai -
I have chosen to write you as a result of the anarchy that was unleashed by many students who were protesting the planned increase in fees for college and university students in Britain...

Anarchy as a weapon of power

Olusegun Fakoya -
I was wondering if Nigeria should out of fear calmly succumb to the glorification of Atiku’s destructive self ambition. Perhaps, we should simply call the forthcoming (s)election a no-show and simply ask Jonathan to hand over to Atiku without even a pretext at voting...

Terrorism and the Conspiracy Against Nigeria

Shola Adebowale -
By simple commonsense and deductive reasoning going by the profiling of apprehended or known ‘terrorists’, everybody knows that international terrorism is now a major problem of the 21st century and that terrorists can come from any family, community, country or religion...

Gov. Adebayo Alao-Akala And The Adedibu 'Curse'!

SOC Okenwa -
Governor Christopher Adebayo Alao-Akala of Oyo State is a 'special' Chief Executive in Nigeria indeed. Akala is 'special' in many ways! He is very unique when it comes to Governors who want to turn their natural black skin to white using bleaching chemicals to achieve this objective...

Cote d'Ivoire: Open Letter To President Goodluck Jonathan

SOC Okenwa -
Mr President, you would agree with me that the Ivorian problem is rooted in identity and nationality complications arising from the huge foreign presence in the country. It is a politico-social tragedy without majesty!

The Real Problem With Africa

Victor Lawrence -
The saying is well known that the first step in solving a problem is understanding what the problem really is. As long as Nigerians and Africans in general do not understand what the real problem is with their so-called countries, there will continue to be hopelessness and despair...

Where Are Black British Millionaires?

Intellectual and business routes to fame and fortune are no longer popular among black kids. They all want to be footballers and live an outlandishly, illiterate lifestyle of Ferrari, white girls, mansions, champagne, drugs, all, mortal destroyers of black man’s wealth in the West...

Another victim of a failed state in Nigeria's killing fields

This is a country that eats its young and brilliant ones. It is not surprising the country is experiencing a "brain drain". Who will want to stay in a place that has become a "hell hole" for young and old alike, where the only happy group are the looters, rapists, murderers and the brazen thieves...

A Rehearsal For Daylight Rigging In 2007
