Ibrahim Babangida: You Are Not Nigeria’s Joseph and You Don’t Deserve A Second Chance!

Watching this interview makes me angry. I am one to enthuse about giving people a second chance but every bone in my body says Ibrahim Badamosi Babaginda does not deserve and should not be given a second chance. Nigeria, Nigerians and the world don’t owe him and should not give him one. In fact, he owes Nigeria. Yes, the International Thief, Thief, Thief owes Nigeria and Nigerians! So, why don’t you just save all of us the time and energy and crawl back into your hole, sorry, I mean the mansion or should that be mansions, you built with the nation’s money. You sorry arse excuse for a leader/human being.

Eki Orleans: A Fresh and New Outlook on African Prints and Designs

I found my inspiration in the beauty of waves. The juxtaposition of the turbulent and calm nature of oceanic waves is represented in the beautiful turquoise patterns of this collection. The key silhouettes of the collection evoke the flowing imagery of waves heading to shore. I believe that because my inspiration for the collection is based on the Ocean and its waves, I have been able to create a collection that is flattering, timeless and simply breathtaking if you don’t mind me saying so myself!

I think more plays like Estate Walls need to be programmed in theatre. British theatre has been documenting life in Britain as far as…well, a very long time ago. And to not write plays like Estate Walls would mean missing out on documenting a whole margin of people living in Britain.

9/11: The Day Pandora Walked Out of Her Box

The memory of 9/11 is a pain hat’s forever etched in the psyche of American history and society. As I write there are plans for a demonstration against the Islamic Centre near Ground Zero. On the other hand there are those who will also march in favour of it. So, I ask, when will Pandora go back into her box? When will respect and tolerance return? I sure hope it happens in my lifetime.

Dear Pastor Terry Jones, Me Thinks You Are Wrong!

I am not here arguing for Islam or the extremists, against whom you want to take a stand. I am simply arguing common sense, which tells me that what you are about to do has got nothing but ‘TROUBLE’ written all over it. In my book, it just ‘ain’t’ worth the stress. Pick your battles because this is certainly one that should be beneath you, not engulf you like it has in the last few days. If I may, it is not too late to walk away and there is nothing shameful about walking away either.

Does Africa Need Broadband More Than It Needs Roads?

Does Africa Need Broadband More Than It Needs Roads?

Africa needs roads and good roads

Africa needs to be able to trade with itself before the outside world

Africa needs broadband too but first, let’s educate the uneducated or give them some form of training, why dump broadband on them with computers from ages past and say you are doing them a favour.

When trade begins to go hand in hand with the new age technology, then development is inevitable. In my humble opinion, Africa needs both, good roads and broadband but first, let’s get the physical infrastructure that will make life a little easier right and then we can invest billions into other areas of development. Start small, grow big!
