Such stories are wearing thin. Recent events have led to newer postulations in certain quarters that ironically, it is the president who is fond of the taste of shoe polish. How else can it be explained, that every time he opens his mouth, he winds up putting his foot in it? What else is foot-and-mouth disease, biko?

Nigeria We Hail Thee

Zik, Awolowo and Ahmadu
Bello had spent the last few years negotiating Nigeria’s independence from
Britain and finally the dream was almost a reality, a great country was being
born, just a couple of days more. They looked at each other and smiled…. Wazobia’s
great originators sitting in one small room.

Buhari's Country
Nigerians used to suffer and smile but now they suffer and suffer. There’s no limit to our pain anymore. IS ANYTHING WORKING? how can change begin with me when the ‘Oga at the top’ has not changed. Copying and pasting somebody’s change speech. 'Nwanne' calm down.

Rams in Recession
Seriously what in the name of Beejessuss is wrong with this
country? Well, for starters, we are officially in recession, although I for one
like many other Nigerians can attest to the fact that for over a year we have
been receding towards recession. Prices of everything are soaring high on a
daily basis and for what it's worth, the government now has an excuse for

recession, Staple food on the increase...ah, it’s the recession, school fees
hike…recession, inconclusive elections?…recession No more 'RAMS' on the
block...

Upon a time, I attended a vigil, and in the wee hours between when the vigil ended and when we could safely depart, a cheery young man accosted me. Handing me a CD in a transparent pack, he proclaimed it to be a sampling of the tracks from his album, and demanded #200 from me. My confusion was further compounded when he spread his hands like a bird about to take flight, and burst into a rendition, somewhere between a screech and a drawl, of something that can hardly pass for music. The words were garbled, partly by his voice, partly by my inattention, but what stuck out like a sore thumb was the phrase "a thanksful heart" (yes, dear reader, thanksful). I sat in surprise, my hands fiddling in my backpack for my earphones. I was extremely unhappy. For someone to be belting out such lyrics, and in praise of a Deity who is the giver of creativity, I almost felt insulted on God's behalf.
The level of 'wackness', if you get my drift, was shocking.
A lot of times, so-called Christian musicians and artistes package nonsense, and parade themselves from church to church, peddling mediocrity and passing it off as music, because the pastor will invariably ask the church crowd to buy, because...
