MY GIFT

-

The sweet precious gift of life
You certainly will be my wife
You have given me everything
When you gave me your love.
With you I experience no pain
Your love has given me gains
I know if I come on this plains
Another lifetime,I'll love you again.
Life may not be a bed of roses
But I will in this lifetime, make
Your bed with petals of roses.
My love for you shall be true
And my promises to you sacred,
Never to be broken.
I count myself lucky to have a special
Woman that is you.
I'll forever thank God for this precious gift.

Fashola's Camera And The Mockery of The Intelligentsia

-
 I have never been an admirer of Babatunde Raji Fashola. When he succeeded Lai Mohammed as the Chief of Staff to the erstwhile governor of Lagos State, Senator Bola Tinubu, little was known about him in public space and he had barely come out of obscurity until his principal anointed him as his successor. At that time, I had a preferred candidate and Fashola was not him. Well, Fashola became governor in 2007. I hear he is very brilliant and highly educated. I am told he attended Birch Freeman High School and Igbobi College both in Lagos and graduated with an LL.B from the University of Benin. I also hear he is the first of his Law school class of 1988 to be honoured with the prestigious rank of Senior Advocate of Nigeria, SAN. He is also such an orator that had enjoyed captivating the people with his smooth speeches. He served two terms as governor and transformed Lagos only in superficiality. He planted gardens and flowers all over Lagos and provided water to keep the gardens nurt...

Oshiomhole: The Raging Bull In A China Shop

-
 Adams Oshiomhole obviously thought he was larger than life and he mistook his rise to prominence as the result of his smartness. He saw himself as a political lion whose roar sent jitters through all and sundry. He must have become too used to being in power and its corridors to assume he was Hercules or perhaps even Zeus over mere mortals. Coming from an eight year reign as labour leader who stood like an applauded collosus over Nigeria, dictating all labour actions especially against government policies and receiving both ready compliance and obeisance from the Nigerian people, Oshiomhole must have seen himself as a force to reckon with in the polity. His further rise to the government house in Benin City as governor of Edo State turned him into a giant, a usual attribute of shortmen - power makes shortmen very tall that they dwarf Goliath. He took on the godfathers of Edo politics and spared no one. Oshiomhole was fearless and confrontational and took on personalities no less t...

#EndSARS: If I were President Buhari

-
 At a time like this when the Nigerian youths have shut down various parts of the country, it is near impossible to guess what is going on in the president, Major General Muhammadu Buhari's mind. Being a man once touted to speak via his body language, the temptation to read his mind by his body language at this time, given the youths' #Endsars protests may just be misleading because what his body cues give cannot be considered humane. However, if his mind is in sync with his body language, then, it is unfortunate because what it readily implies are arrogance, lack of both sympathy and empathy, inconsideration, insensitivity to the plight of the people and sheer wickedness. This inference from Nigerians surely did not start in the wake of the #Endsars protests, it was long coming given the hardship that his enthronement as the head of government had ushered in and the state of utter hopelessnes that has followed and has remained increasing.  I think Buhari is the luckiest presi...
