Whilst it’s quite easy for writers like me to write and postulate and criticize the IDF for its brutal retaliation in the Gaza war, the truth may be far from clear. Last month for example, Israeli forces rescued four hostages from Gaza. These hostages were kept in the homes of regular Gaza folks like a…
Paris is agog. The world has gathered amidst deep security concerns. We do not deny that there are bad people everywhere, determined to inflict maximum suffering on as many people as possible. The world has barely moved a notch since Munich 1972 when PLO terrorists unleashed mayhem at the Munich Olympics, killing two Israeli athletes,…
It is official. Biden has dropped out of the race after the village heads of the Democratic Party went on pilgrimage to Rehoboth to tell the President that the troops were no longer at ease. He got the message. He went one step further to endorse Kamala Harris. That is a good thing. It assures…
In light of what we had always believed and thought of the United States as a country where no one was deemed to be above the law, the ruling that came down from one of the most powerful and most respected courts in history granting wide ranging immunity to Donald Trump looked very much like…

And so, a High Court gave a ruling about a pre-election matter concerning delegates of the PDP who went to court to seek redress concerning the violation of their rights as delegates. The case which was filed in February was ruled on just last week, long after the Primaries had been held. This matter has…
For all intents and purposes, one would assume, one thing that differentiates Homo Sapiens from other species is constant improvement of the species in sophisticated thinking. That ruling was in my view, anything but sophisticated. We might as well call back King George 111 to apologize to him for launching the American revolution. SCOTUS, 2024…
Let’s circle back to the Alligator in the room. As I alluded to earlier, we do not choose our families, our families choose us. We also do not choose our countries. Our countries choose us. Nigeria chose me. I love her therefore, but my love must also give me a choice not only to love…
