THE DANGERS OF PRAISING A LEADER UNDULYFriday, December 7, 2012
Given that it is ideal to sometimes praise our leaders where they are deserving of praise, should not make us praise them where they have not proven worthy of our praise.

Distorted GreetingThursday, September 20, 2012

THE REPRODUCTION OF VIOLENCE AND HOW IT CAN BE CHECKEDThursday, September 20, 2012
It is my observation that what's responsible for the reproduction of violence indiscriminately in Nigeria, is because we seldom deliberate on issues as they arise.
