1. Dear Nigerian Youths, stay off drugs!!!
Dude, a standard nuisance in his hood, failed at securing a degree after 4yrs in a private uni, with parents paying through their noses.
Last throw of the dice, his dad's friend in Sverige, organised an employment based visa to help.
2. Dude came to Abuja for an interview at the embassy and the interview was inconclusive. He was then asked to remain in town for a possible recall to the embassy within the week.
While in the place of his temporary accommodation in Abuja, Dude sniffed out a drug joint.

1. This I think, is nothing but a hysterical histrionics of a lady who seeks to distort and use historical facts as a salve for her emotional troubles.
Firstly, the situation between Nigeria and Biafra is better termed a WAR, rather than a GENOCIDE, as Uju Anya claimed it to be.
1. If my associates are even remotely connected to Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade and Colonialists legacies, it is better I withdraw my association, if I feel deeply disturbed about the two histories; than hurl vectives which would boomerang on my existence as a Black man of today.
2. I am talking about vectives that will end up undoing the many work being done to breakdown barriers hindering black upliftment in the world.
Some people have chosen irrationality as an approach to Africanism through the liberties of freedom of expression. They've forgotten...

1 Last night, I reacted to a post by @CNN 's @StephanieBusari seeking a fast track DNA facility in Nigeria to help identify the body of her cousin who sadly was a victim of the Ikoyi building tragedy of last month. My reaction was to remind her that Lagos State, where the tragedy
2. ...occured used to have one until October 2020, when it was razed down by an irate mob, who were instigated by FAKE NEWS perpetration by both individuals and media corporations, (read Stephanie/Nima of CNN) during the #EndSARS Protest in Nigeria last year.

1. Jean Pierre Papin (Olympique Marseille), 1991.
That was the last player who won Balon d'Or while playing in the French Ligue Un.
Surely the French aren't gonna allow the opportunity to break that 30yr old jinx, with Lionel Messi around, 30yrs later.
2. In other words, had Lionel Messi continued with Barcelona, there is a big likelihood he won't have won yesterday's award. Forget the statistics or the fact that he led Argentina to a first trophy in 28yrs. The award is about the best player in Europe from the perspective of..

1. Since yesterday I have been receiving social media posts alleging that China has taken over/about to take over Uganda's airport, the Entebbe in Kampala, over loan complications between China and Uganda. Those who posted the info to me did so in the light of Nigeria...
2. ...China loan relationship, viz a viz African nation's constant loan transactions with China.
As a personal resolve since 2017 to be wary of sensational information online and elsewhere, I decided to investigate the veracity and origin of the report.

A US Report said there was no evidence of a massacre at Lekki Toll Gate on 201020.
Femi Falana says the US are part of a massive cover-up.
Smart minds would wonder why a man whose profession is entirely based on evidence; is insisting on hearsay on a matter of such gravity?
Let's assume the FG were the ones prosecuting a group or individual for carrying out this purported massacre and Femi Falana is the lawyer of this individual or group, what do you think Falana would be harping on the FG to provide? Hard evidence or conspiratorial hearsays?

1. Muslim brothers marry decent, well brought up young Muslimahs with promise, knock them up 1,2 and even 3 times resulting into kids. They then travel abroad for many reasons, to never return; leaving women to deal with the socioeconomic and mental depression of their decisions.
2. I have heard of about five cases of this modern day life ruining occurrence, which isn't peculiar to Muslims. You will hear of cases that will haunt you for days. The worst thing is the more distant this things seem, the nearer home they actually become.

1. About 2 years ago, the FG proposed a RUGA solution to herders farmers conflict and some Nigerians blackmailed the conversation with some of the most disgusting ethnocentric bile you would ever see.
The monstrous gang up weakened people like me, who wanted a lasting solution.
2. Some people even went as far as saying the FG shouldn't invest Nigeria's money to pastoralists advantage. I was stunned at such amount of bile. When you point out that other farmers were equally collecting grants, they started comparing the amounts of grants looking for bias.

1. A barber opened his shop one morning in Houston, USA and a priest walked in for a haircut.
When he was done cutting his hair, he offered to pay the $10 fee and the barber declined saying, "Don't bother paying, I am doing this for the Lord." The priest thanked him and left.
2. The following day, when the barber got to his shop, he met 10 Bibles and a thank you note from the priest.
Later, a police officer came to his shop for a haircut. When the barber was done cutting the policeman's hair, the policeman offered to pay his $10 bill.
