A long time ago, there was an annual festival in a community in Ekiti. Its purpose was to highlight anti-social behaviour and to serve as some form of accountability mechanism. The young people would dance around the community and visit homes of ‘offenders’, those who had stolen farm produce, cheated their labourers, slept with the […]

Beloved, last Sunday was Mother’s Day. Indeed mother’s day is marked more than once a year. We are still going to have another one by some Christians. One of the reasons God created man and woman is to bear children among other things. God commanded in Genesis 1 vs. 27 & 28(KJV): So God created man […]

President Tinubu is the strongest politician ever produced in this country. Give it to him. He is fully in control of power, without forcing anyone to do his bidding.

Tinubu has done us proud. The first Nigerian leader to visit the English monarch in decades. That’s no mean feat. He may not have tamed the electricity demon he had bitched bitterly about when he was in the opposition. But it’s inspiring to see him dazzling the paparazzi at Windsor. It’s not easy to find […]

Ardent fans of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, BAT, are something else! They can’t abide anyone who doesn’t share their blind allegiance to their hero.
