Photograph purporting to show a 55ft snake found in a forest in Malaysia has become an internet sensation. Biggest snake in the world. The thread claimed the snake was one of two enormous boas found by workers clearing forest for a new road. They apparently woke up the sleeping snakes during attempts to bulldoze a […]
Reply to: I Don’t Have the Strength … To Be a Nigerian by Sugabelly
April 8, 2012
After reading this Sugarbelly’s post I don’t have strength to be a Nigerian, the first thing I remembered were her very “I don’t know the words to use here” comments in my post titled: David seduced bathsheeba, why did bathsheeba bath in the open. I had tried to mediate the foul use of words(comments) before […]

Between Madam Patience Goodluck Jonathan and First Lady Patricia Obahiagbon Goodluck Jonathan
April 29, 2011
Its no news that the Nigerian First lady is not an enviable icon of hope in the public speaking department. It was one of my colleagues at work who drew my attention to the comedy/grammatical atrocities committed by our very own first lady – so today, I decided to check it out myself. Its so […]

If I were governor of Lagos state – of Lagos and its Liberian beggars
October 20, 2009
If it was somebody that looked like Mama Lara, the usual agbero, the FFBs, Mallams from Maiduguri, or children running after everyone passing on the street – with their hands stretched out, asking for 20–Naira, I would have been less surprised. When someone walks up to you in Oshodi, says ‘please help me, I need money, I’m […]
question: how was your night
September 16, 2009
While Oyinbo’s (in Yankee) would greet ‘good morning, how are you’, for which a ‘I’m fine, thank you’ would suffice, and be plainly professional, ‘how was your night’ is the most ideal Nigerian greeting I’ve heard in years. When you see someone first time in the day, or you bump into each other in a bus, colleagues arriving at work in the […]
re – Man In Coma After Police Torture
August 24, 2009
I have always maintained that the two greatest problems Nigeria has, in terms of security are the Nigerian Police and armed robbers. In terms of who is worse, the Nigerian Police come first. the story below can be concluded as follows: two men walked into a police station to make a statement over their disagreement. […]

Midnight radio discussion: sex is like
August 1, 2009
I noted these down last tuesday night, 2pm. I woke up to ease myself, found it hard fall back to sleep and decided to turn on the radio: —————— 1) Sex is like my three mamaputs. The first specializes in Amala and ewdeu soup. The second is all out for Yam and beans, and the […]
DIASPORA WAHALA – someone please help us
April 21, 2009
DIASPORA is one word that pisses me off. My piss-off about this word is generally with the way its used, interpreted / applied, and generally flung around everywhere anyone wants to talk / write about and refer to Nigeria from an external perspective (example: we Nigerians in the DIASPORA); or internally, refer to Nigerians living […]
how to develop Nigeria in 5-years
April 18, 2009
Let us assume for 1-minute that America and Nigeria can exchange places, I mean physically. Let us assume that plane-loads of people could fly across the two countries, transporting all Nigerians to the land of the free – yankee(greener pastures) and transporting all Americans(bonafide and immigrant) back to mother-land Africa. Let us also assume that […]
NEPA Institute of Time Prediction studies (NITPS)
April 16, 2009
Anybody who says there is democracy in Nigeria is a liar, we are still in a Military regime. The reason I say this is because our physical environment conditions its inhabitants in a way they wouldn’t have wanted to condition themselves. Using myself as number-1 example, I believe if I enlist in the Nigerian Army […]

February 4, 2009
I arrived at the title of this post last week Tuesday as I viewed the picture below. This picture graced the front page of the Nigerian Guardian Newspapers. I had purchased a copy and was glancing through after work. The first question that crossed my mind, which honestly, I don’t have an answer for is: […]

July to December, the 9-months mathematics
December 1, 2008
I remember complaining that her wedding gown was outrageous. In fact, if I knew her tailor, I would have reprimanded such for sowing such a flimsy outfit for an educated bride on her wedding day. I remember her smile in front of the church and as she marched in and out, which I felt was […]
