                                A TRIBUTE TO FALLEN STARS                                    

   At the beginning of the year 2013, Nigerians were shaken by the sudden death of upcoming actress Bisi Komolafe. The young and talented actress' death came as a shock to all. Questions about her death arose and condolences were sent to her friends and family. While a few were still trying to come to terms with her sudden departure, death it seems wasted no time in striking another blow; its effect felt by not only Nigeria, but all of Africa. Susan Oluwabimpe Harvey, popularly known as "Goldie" has been reported dead. The news of the pop star's death broke on Valentine's Day, shortly after her return from a trip to the Grammy's in America. Goldie was a sweet and good natured person. She was referred to as "The African Lady Gaga" because of her unique sense of style. She will be remembered by Africa as a formidable contestant in the reality show "Big Brother Africa". 

   May their souls rest in perfect peace (Amen)

"I HEART YOU" : local or endearing?

Let me start by stating that I mean no disrespect to anyone but I have to ask, what is with this common phrase "I heart you?" Is it because of the general miconception that love exists in our hearts? Or because society has tagged the heart as the birth, growth and resting place of love? What about the other school of thought that believes love exists in our brain? After all, memories of your beloved is stored in your brain, so please where does the "I heart you" phrase come to play? Many will argue with me and say that the racing of our hearts when our beloved is closeby, justifys the phrase. If that is so, then I guess those who subscribe to the belief of butterflies in our tummy should be allowed to coin theirs? How will you react if someone says "I stomach you?" I don't know about you, but thoughts of little Red Riding Hood swallowed by the wolf will be my impression plus an obvious look of surprise followed immediately by horror. That is if I d...

A CRITIC ON THE IBB STATEMENT BY KASSIM AFEGBUA

 On the 4th of February 2018, Mr Kassim Afegbua; spokesman of Retired Gen. Ibrahim Babangida released a statement titled; Towards National Rebirth, in which the former military general said that it was time to sacrifice “personal ambition” for “national interest”. He asked Nigerians to cooperate with the president till he completes his term of office in May 2019, before giving way to new, young generation to assume the role of leadership; to make room for fresh blood so to speak.  The statement was without a doubt, a brutally honest appraisal of the state of the nation. Wreaked with political, economic and cultural crisis, Nigeria it seems is on his last legs. The Boko Haram insurgence, ethic wars, prevalent corruption, murders, kidnappings, molestation and quite recently, the unchecked activities of the Fulani herdsmen has cast doubt on the capacity of this administration to govern the nation. Like a sick man on life support, the nation is barely surviving, and without a mira...

EXCEPT FROM THE RETREAT BY Aiyegbusi Ololade

 Hello everyone, my apologies for the long absence 🙏 I have been preoccupied with studies for my Master's degree program 🎓 as well as other personal issues. During this time, I have been working on a pet project 😂 💃 I hope to have it published as a novel when I am done. Before that happens, enjoy this long except from the story 😂😘😉 "Thank you" said Lara when they were alone. "Don't mention it" he replied quietly. "I need to go, but I'll be back soon. I'll tell Zara to -" "Please don't tell her." Lara interrupted sitting up quickly. Malik frowned looking confused. "Why?" He asked I don't want her to worry about something so trivial." She replied "Too late. I already sent her a text, and I'm sure she's on her way here" he replied checking his phone. "Great!! She's probably panicking" Lara said standing up. She went to the window to look out, the sun was very bright. She h...
