A GOOD IDEA by Adewale Sobowale
I like good ideas! What an excellent idea it is for the federal government to announce the postponement of the resumption of secondary and primary schools because of the dreaded ebola disease. Some state governments are already joining the bandwagon. We love holidays in this country! The governments want us to believe our children in […]
MAN OF THE YEAR! by Adewale Sobowale
In this season when men have been effectively unmanned, at a period when man’s defensive tactics have proved relatively ineffective, we tend to wonder what’s become of man’s great exploits in science. This year has, more or less, been taken over by a deadly virus. Not only that, the virus itself has succeeded in exposing […]
THE WEDDING! by Adewale Sobowale
THE WEDDING! Adewale Sobowale When will Nigerians learn that politics is not a do or die affair? Did you know that Atiku Abubakar acted as the groom’s father at Yusuf Buhari’s wedding? Atiku was defeated by President Buhari in the 2015 and 2019 elections respectively. Inspite of the fact that Buhari was physically present. Atiku […]
ARSENAL OF NIGERIA! by Adéwálé Ṣóbọ̀wálé
The rich do things in their own ways. They can afford to. This is due to the fact that if it’s a matter of cash, they have more than enough. That the richest Blackman has been eyeing Arsenal Football Club of England is no longer news. Dangote is a strong Arsenal fan. Unlike most Nigerians, […]
PEACE! by Adéwálé Ṣóbọ̀wálé
I think at this point in time, we should spare our nations some positive thoughts. Note that I used the word, nations! Why is it that it’s within the so-called developing nations that we don’t have peace. Neither do we have any relative progress? I know some of the story of Nigeria, in particular. The […]
TIGHTENING NOOSE! by Adéwálé Ṣóbọ̀wálé
Even to the most unfeeling person, Nigerians will know the noose of dictatorship is being tightened with the barring of Nobel laureate, professor Wole Soyinka and the activist Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Femi Falana from giving their contributions at a symposium. The police simply sealed off the venue, 46, Ibijoke Street, Oluyole Bus Stop, Oregun […]
APAPA PORTS! by Adéwálé Ṣóbọ̀wálé
Apapa used to be a lovely neighbourhood. So many expatriates used to live there. The nation’s major seaports, Apapa and Tin Can, are situated there. As a result, the place is well secured . The army, the navy and even the police are well represented there. However, the roads to Apapa are not in the […]
SHUT UP! by Adéwálé Ṣóbọ̀wálé
Yes, I believe we really do need to guard and guide our rights and freedoms jealously. We need to do it the way our grannies used to keep their chinaware! We were under the jackboots of the military for so long. I bet those people who were of age then would, despite the wastage of […]
BALOGUN GBADA! by Adéwálé Ṣóbọ̀wálé
Things men do; E’en when they do- Sleep will never Ever be tethered! Remembering Basorun Gbada; Who not only battered; Our fine economy; Into a ponmonomy! His unrelenting abracadabra; A unique democratia; Strong as a rope; Ends in a mope! Endless killings; Always fleecing; Turning us to mumu; Easy preys for voodoo! Disloyal to a […]
WISHES AND HORSES! by Adéwálé Ṣóbọ̀wálé
It’s a given that governments and private individuals do incorporate airlines. If we consider the bigger countries and say, if not them, who else? The ‘elses’ are those countries Nigerians will snigger at about their national worth. Indeed, individual Nigerians will jeer at people from those countries and feel they are lacking in self worth. […]
