Minors assumed to be minority!
In Italy, the Ombudsman for Childhood and Adolescence, Carla Garlatti has said the principle of minority for unaccompanied minors arriving in the country must continue to be applied.

Braverman rejects asylum claims by gays!
UK Home Secretary has said anti-gay discrimination is not a qualification for asylum in her country. BBC reports that while speaking in a US think tank on Tuesday, Braverman questioned whether the application of the UN’s Refugee Convention is “fit for our modern age”. She is reported to have told an audience at the right-wing […]
LIKE LEADERS, LIKE THE LED! – Adewale Sobowale
I understand Iyiola Omisore has declared his intention to go the APC way! In the first instance and before people start manufacturing any insinuation, I just thought I should make it clear that I’m not a supporter of the PDP! However, a lot of horse trading must have taken place before Omisore’s declaration. When we […]
WE WANT MONEY! – Adewale Sobowale
Anytime I hear the NLC call out workers to go on strike for wage increase, I always laugh. I tend to resort to laughter because it’s evident that the Labour leaders have learnt nothing so they couldn’t have forgotten anything. You don’t give what you don’t give what you don’t have. There have been at […]
OSINBAJO! – Adewale Sobowale
When I first heard about an accusation of the VP’s alleged fleecing of so much money from the FIRS made by the former deputy publicity secretary of the ruling APC, Timi Frank, I didn’t take it as a matter of importance. I felt the VP wanted to use the allegation to curry favor from the […]
AO M’ERIN JOBA! – Adewale Sobowale

But then, the community was wise enough to have sunken a ditch below the enthronement platform. The people were singing, Ao m’erin j’oba Eweku […]
BUHARI VS BUHARI! – Adewale Sobowale
I just thought we should compare the military government of Mr Buhari to his executive presidency. It’s true the Shagari administration which Buhari toppled really made a mess of the economy. But was the Buhari administration well positioned to bail out the Nigerian people? Well, the military used its usual force of repression to cow […]
Of Political Parties and Criminals! – Adewale Sobowale
A certain Nigerian ‘big boy’ was recently arrested for kidnapping. In the first instance, although he allegedly confessed, that can only be used as evidence in a properly constituted court of law. It is for the courts to determine whether he is guilty or not. Second, people have been fast to link him to a […]
The Church! – Adewale Sobowale
I hardly have any iota of respect for so-called Nigerian men of God. I used the term “so-called” because pray, are we, who’re not in cassocks men of the devil? That’s why when I got here, I had to search for a church that I believe God will be proud of. My search took me […]
