TAKING THE ETERNAL PLUNGE!!! – Adewale Sobowale
This will make it the third time that I will be writing on what has perhaps, and sadly too, become a trending issue in our society now. Suicide! I decided to write again because some sections of our society are sadistically finding it funny. They are wondering why other people are now copying that unfortunate […]
LANGBA LANGBA! CHUTZPAH!! – Adewale Sobowale
Many of us have heard the word chutzpah used in terms of a person having positive audacity. But I bet only a few realize it could be used to describe people who display negative audacity. There are some positions which are normally reserved for the elderly. Senior citizens are often expected to have experienced the […]
AFEFE TI FE! WIND HAS BLOWN!! – Adewale Sobowale
Mmm… So, Mr Kyari, Buhari’s chief of staff, has tested positive to coronavirus. But that’s not as newsworthy as the fact that he’s been taken to Lagos for treatment. The Aso Clinic on which so much has been spent doesn’t have the required materials. I doubt if the clinic even has bandages for first aid. […]
KINI BIG DEAL? – Adewale Sobowale
I guess it was Naeto that sang a song that became the poem of the time, titled ‘kini big deal?’, (what’s the result of all the hassles?) Is it not a song that suits these times? These are times when it has been vividly proved that the average Nigerian will do anything to get money. […]
THE DEALER – Adewale Sobowale
One ex-pupil of a school with which I used to be associated was nicknamed ‘dealer’. However, I did not get to ask him what commodity he dealt with. And that was quite uncharacteristic of me! I was so close to the pupils that I gave most of them nicknames. Of course, they loved those nicknames. […]
WETIN CONSAIN YOU? – Adewale Sobowale
When we invited Bill Gates to the Special Expanded Economic Council Meeting, we didn’t know he was going to be saying all those things that are not in the least palatable to us. We thought he would, at least, give us some modicum of respect. Does he attend economic council meetings in the White House? […]
WE’VE GOT BODY! BODY LA NI!! – Adewale Sobowale
Mr Buhari’s so-called address on COVID 19 is a very interesting one. In the first instance, if according to sources, the address is twenty-three seconds long, that would be almost equal to the number of COVID 19 cases reported in Nigeria as at Sunday morning which is thirty. In the address, the president actually highlights […]
‘If The Situation Arises!’ – Adewale Sobowale
One of the media aides of the Nigerian President was asked on Channels tv why Mr Buhari has not deemed it fit to address the nation on COVID-19. He promptly answered that his principal will definitely address the people, ‘If the situation arises.’ He went on to lambast those calling on the president to exercise […]
TOWN TAKES OVER! – Adewale Sobowale
I hear the coveted post of vice chancellor in our University of the Source is now being ethnically politicized. Or should one say aborelized? I wouldn’t be surprised given the rot going on in society. Academic environments are supposed to operate in spite of society. But this is often not the case. They should be […]
