LET'S TALK ABOUT ABORTION

Abortion. An act that is quite prevalent and heavily permeated in almost every society. Ironically, it is also an act that seems an abomination and usually spoken about in hushed tones. Not so anymore. Today, we address the elephant in the room. Today, we talk about abortion, unsentimentally - With rationality. With logic. With common sense.

MOTHERHOOD: Joys & Celebration


It has been described as being ‘indescribable’. An awesome feeling. The most out-of-this-world experience. A beautiful thing. Quite common, but still beautiful nonetheless. An amazing happening that gets even more amazing each and every time it happens.. Prior pains of maternal labour transcended into sweet golden moments enveloped with heavenly emotions… The birthing of a child. Earth’s newest, littlest occupant. A majestic entrance into an expecting world.  It is the beginning, but it’s quite possibly the absolute pinnacle of our very existence.. Of course, all lovingly guided by a woman. By women. By a mother. By mothers.  Welcome to a celebration. Welcome to the joys of motherhood.

The Role Of Technology In Combating Corruption In Nigeria: A CASE STUDY OF 'POLICING THE POLICE'


The term ‘Police’ should automatically bring succour, secure relief and safety reassurance to every citizen. Unfortunately, in our country, this is not so. When the average Nigerian citizen thinks of the Nigerian Police Force, he immediately thinks of bribery, corruption, unwarranted harassment, stray bullets, molestation, accidental deaths, ineptitude, mediocrity and general lawlessness.  Basically, what comes to his mind is the opposite of what the police should actually stand for. How unfortunate. How sad. How despicable.

Tribalism, Ethnicity And Racism : NO! .... Common Sense, Tolerance And Nationalism : YES!


I am a Nigerian. I admit I am not exactly the most renowned writer, as this could probably be called my maiden piece. Having said that though, I consider myself a thought writer, and I feel thought-writing is subjective; if they are your thoughts, then no-one else can write them as well as you can think them. Thus, this piece should be judged and understood accordingly.
