My concern is about the needlessness of the canvassed ruinous engagement which, if not nipped in the bud, is certain to drag West Africa, indeed the whole Africa back to the Stone Age and reduce the hapless owners of the continent to dregs and pauperised savages.

We are again in the season of the thoughtless rituals when we celebrate the flag-and-paper Independence given to us by brutish British colonial masters who had planted inescapable land-mines with rigged Population Census figures, rigged parliamentary elections and irredeemably screwed regional boundaries before the take-off.
He said that the news of Aluko’s death was devastating and hard to believe, considering what the deceased stood for while alive, particularly his role as a great philanthropist of all seasons.
The group made the condemnation in a statement titled: Census, which census?; e-signed Monday by Dr Amos Arogundade Akingba, President and High Chief Tola Adeniyi, Chairman of Council.
The recurrent disturbing news broke again that the innocent farmers struggling to get mere subsistent living were hacked down, as usual, in Benue State.
It is needless recounting or listing the plagues in the unfortunate country called Nigeria because they are well known to both natives and the international community.
Adeniyi said Nigerians of all faiths should rise up in condemnation of the policemen who perpetrated the act
There is hardly any place in the vast expanse of land christened ‘Nigger-area’ by Lugard’s Ms Shaw that is not under siege imposed on the country by obvious failure of governance, crass mismanagement of pluralism and diversity as well as wrong-headed expansionist and colonization ambitions. And there is no ethnic nationality that is happy and fulfilled in this joke of a ‘union’ wobbling in the dark.
I would have said it is laughable, but who in the Nigerian contraption is laughing now? Who is laughing? Is it the hundreds of thousands who had been driven away from their ancestral homes in the last five years and are now crowded and famished in the so-called Internally Displaced Peoples Camps…in their own country?
The movie, simply a straightforward story of a spoilt brat son of an equally haughty and self-conceited father and a seemingly fashionable mother of pretentious aristocratic bearing, is set in a Yoruba town.
As we speak, hundreds of thousands of innocent men, women and children have been brutally displaced, houses burnt, means of livelihood destroyed, life and living virtually paralysed, and yet the Nigerian politicians are carrying on as if nothing is amiss. They are behaving as if they are in a movie theatre savouring the humour-soaked antics of actor/producer Mr. Latin.
The call came at the end of the YG Leaders Council January Meeting chaired by veteran journalist and YG Leaders Council Chairman, Chief Tola Adeniyi.
Let us face the hard fact: the country which the British colonialists thought might evolve from the merging of their business interests in West Africa never succeeded in becoming a unified country talk less of ever becoming a nation. Every segment of the nationalities hurriedly yoked together by force along the boundaries created by colonial greed in Berlin simply refused to shed the feathers of artificiality thus making cohesion impossible, difficult and unattainable.
According to available information, he died in the early hours of Friday in his late seventies
This was contained in a statement made available to The Eagle Online on by the National Secretary of the YWC, Prof. Anthony Kila, on Sunday
Trouble started on August 25, 2020 when a press statement signed by Banji Akintoye, professor emeritus of history, and some other names communicated that members of the YWC Leaders Council had been removed. Names of those announced as removed were Amos Akingba, Tola Adeniyi, Anthony Kila, and Solagbade Popoola. The statement, sent to various news outlet, went viral within minutes due to the astonishing content
No. This article is about the personal losses that came my way in the past year and which up until now I have not gathered sufficient strength to write about. They came in shocking torrents; and before I could recover from one shock another blow hit me in the groin. And to make matters worse and more painful, these blows were sudden, devastating, total and final.
At that point in time my inner Mind told me that the Soul/Spirit of Man merely resides in the body, or put in another way, the body is merely the garment, the shell, the building, the box or whatever enclosure or encasement that accommodates the Soul/Spirit.
COVID-19 had locked me down and locked me up with the Nollywood series on GOtv and for several hours each passing day, it was a switch between movies and the news channels. My eyes have been entertained with the best and the worst in Nigerian movies and also pissed off with several nauseating shades of bleached skins that made me to wonder once a while whether I was seeing double in Coca-Cola bodies carrying Fanta faces!
It is curious, and certainly most embarrassing that our elected members of the National and State Assemblies throughout the federation have kept unusually quiet in the face of the horrendous horrors and unmitigated disasters assaulting this country and her citizens on daily basis. No part of the country is exempt from the gory spectacles we see on television screens, hear about on radio and read about in the newspapers, magazines and social media without ceasing. It appears the country is in a state of war.
