“Village people”

The need for respect, understanding and tolerance: the sad case of Deborah.

Now that the furore surrounding the lynching and murder of Ms Deborah by fellow student of the Shehu Shagari College of Education Sokoto has died down, maybe it is time we has humans/Nigerians revisit that incidence and look at it as what it truly was; avoidable!

A Dirge to Yesterday

This poem came to me in the car on my way home from a grueling week in the South Eastern part of Nigeria, that included a burial, a devastating car accident, a tussle with South- Southern touts and an encounter with the truth bomb. We today, our kids tomorrow, our parents tomorrow and slowly we
