With all these sex tapes especially that of our purported upcoming celebrities just as it happened and still happening in Anambra now, I am moved to say a little. For sometime now, I have not been a fan of  that thing; beauty contest A.K.A modeling. Yes I have not, in fact it disgusts me when a friend tells me she or he is going for beauty contest. To tell you the truth, I have never also been happy even if such person wins. These are my reservations visa viz that matter: 1. That thing is a very big poof, its not as real as they present it. Its when you are one way into it that you can understand the intricacies of its glowing adverts. 2. It is an unnatural sexual ritual, luring participants into it not having the full disclosure of its sexual routine (this is reliable from previous "PARTICIPANTS") it has been shown that each participant who did qualify for the final stage would and must have slept his or her way, yes his or her way(including natural and unnatural sexual r...

Our Wife of The President as he would have us call her has received praise and commendation from the strangest of quarters since she granted that interview to the BBC Hausa Service! She has been praised by very strong elements within the opposition People's Democratic Party that it is even being suggested in some quarters that she would be handed the Presidential ticket of the PDP to contest against her husband in 2019. For me, that's exactly the problem with the interview! She threw her husband to the wolves and they are currently devouring him. She showed tremendous courage in expressing her dissatisfaction with the way her Husband is running the Country. However, it would have been better if another Buharist had criticized the Government this openly. But the question is "Should She have done so"? Folks will say that what she did was the height of female emancipation in Nigeria and indeed anywhere in the world. But then, even in the United States of America,...

Yesterday, the President was at his witless and tactless worst. This time, not in Daura but in faraway Germany where in the company of perhaps, the most powerful woman in the world, he stated that his wife, Aisha belongs to "the kitchen and the other room" in response to a question from a journalist on his views about his wife's exclusive interview to The BBC Hausa Service where she implied that the Buhari administration had been hijacked by some anti progressive forces and that she might not campaign for her husband in the event that he decides to seek reelection in 2019. Overtime, most of the President's comments have been unPresidential which might be a good thing considering that his comments affirm his sincerity but on the other hand, his sincere and often unguided comments expose him to incessant attacks by mischief makers(not necessarily well meaning members of the opposition). Needless to say, the President's remarks yesterday have thrown up emergency f...

Yesterday, news flew in that there had been a clampdown on "corrupt" Judges by men of the now notorious Department of State Security (DSS) which also doubles as The Secret Police of the Federal Government. Naturally, that Gestapo styled raid by the DSS has elicited rife reactions and has polarized us into Rightists, Leftists and Centrists. Some have argued that the Buhari led Federal Government is waging a war on the Judiciary in order to make it(the Judiciary) amenable to it's(Federal Government) whims. To them, it's an outright war on the Judiciary as an arm of Government. It has even been suggested that the arrested Judges like Justice Nwali Ngwuta of the Supreme Court, Justice John Okoro of the Supreme Court, Justice Adeniyi Ademola of the Federal High Court and the other arrested Judges are being persecuted for the decisions they gave that went against the ruling Party, the All Progressives Congress. However, it is important to state that the Judges were arr...

Last night, a friend of mine called and told me "Kene this can't be happening o, seems am dreaming" and I quickly responded with the usual Ogini kwa and he said "you remember some years back when my former girlfriend called me a useless boyfriend for one small "swaggy hanky" carrying class boy of hers" and I said yes that's true. He continued "Kene today, same situation came up and my lover, bae and bestie, told the guy 'look I've got not just a boyfriend but someone I can't ever trade for you or anyone else'. Bro, remember you told me back then to relax that God is sending the best, Kene you be prophet o and I believe your ministry " Guys I felt wow, I don't know what you make of the testimony Shaa, but for me there are lessons I've picked: 1) never insist on staying in a relationship when God is clearly showing you signs you need to move on 2) in a relationship never talk down of your partner to guys or babe...

Apologies to Mr Peter Obi for using this catchy but thought provoking phrase that he used the very first time he contested for the Governorship of Anambra State. Apparently, that question he asked over ten years ago still hangs over not just his Anambra State but Nigeria as a whole. On a Night like this, 56 years ago, there was probably a sickening nostalgia all over the then British Colony which would later become the Country, Nigeria about the endless possibilities that accompany Independence, especially in a Country that is as endowed as ours. Well, Tomorrow will be exactly 56 years since Nigeria attained independent status from Great Britain. At Independence, our founding fathers such as Nnamdi Azikiwe, Ahmadu Bello and Obafemi Awolowo had such lofty goals and dreams for our progress, prosperity: they conceived a Nigeria that would maximize her enormous human capital resources: A Nigeria that would truly cater for the hopes and aspirations of her diverse peoples: A Nigeria that...

I don't think that I've ever been divided within me about writing a piece as I am about this one. Should I write or should I not write? Anyways, I traverse! Barring any last minute "boju boju", the Edo State Governorship election will come up tomorrow, the 28th of September, 2016. And that is the source of my dilemma: I really don't know whom to support or if I should support any. Should I support The PDP candidate, Pastor Osagie Ize Iyamu who happens to be a UNIBEN Law graduate and who is immensely popular among some of my folks or should I support the APC Candidate, Godwin Obaseki who is the anointed of incumbent Governor Adams Oshiomhole. Really, I doubt my stakes in the election: I'm not even from Edo State but perhaps, it won't hurt to lend my voice. The PDP candidate I hear is thoroughly grounded in the Politics of Edo State and he has an in depth knowledge of the internal workings of Government, and to that end, would make a perfect fit for t...
