A Fool’s Guide to Natural Disasters

So Hurricane/Tropical Storm Sandy came and went and somewhat fortunately I guess for me that I am in Nigeria. Up until May this year, I lived in the tri-state area (New York, New Jersey and Connecticut) and where I live was heavily flooded by Sandy. Pardon my language but she was such a wet bish. … Continue reading »

Nigerian Independence: The House Built on Sand

You have often heard a parent, uncle, aunty, grand parent, Methuselah’s cousin talk about the good ol’ days. They talk about it like it is a thing of pride. They will sit down and regale you with tales of when the Nigerian Naira was stronger than the US dollar, when you did not need a … Continue reading »

Bad Religion and the Audacity of Idiocy

Dear Lady Farouk: Much Ado about the Future Wife and Marriage

In the grand plan of things and milestones that characterize a man’s life in many societies is the issue of marriage.

The One on Washing, Flattery and Related Crimes

It could be said that the road to a girl’s heart is paved with flattery. Not necessarily of the obvious kind. Definitely subtle flattery with a little sprinkling of over the top flattery that is so over the top that it makes her smile. You know what I am talking about, Yes you. If you … Continue reading »

Brainstorming Terrorism in Nigeria: How can we defeat Boko Haram?

In the two years since I started this blog and while living in Nigeria and shuttling in and out of the country occasionally, It would be silly for me to deny that terrorism has become part and parcel of the Nigerian discourse, reality and life.
