JONATHAN and BUHARI Are Not in the Same Category?

It was Fela Kuti who sang in one of his songs and said 'me and you no dey for the same category'  referring to his intellectual capabilities higher than that of his interlocutors. He was confident with what comes out of his brain; maybe because he uses it well or because he was certain he had achieved martyr despite his run ins with the then government.

Time for Change

Over the course of this year, I have made significant movement towards the betterment of self and conscious aggrandizement of thoughts that will enhance growth for self and society and these steps most of MAB readers can relate with because I have shared them on the blog.

Farabale... You need to be Crazy to be Blazing!

Have you ever been in that situation where you are scorned upon and told to your face that you are absurd just because you didn’t believe in settling for less? Sometimes it is subtly done or said yet open enough for you to know that that was meant for you.

APC Changed The Game Completely by choosing Osinbajo

I like to talk politics but I don’t like to write it. People like myself are regarded as ‘armchair’ analyst and one with limited knowledge on the subject. That set aside, if you have to talk about Nigerian politics, even armchair analyst have a good knowledge and sense of what could be if you open your eyes very well. What is there that is hard to say. Didn’t we hear and didn’t they confirm that $9.3 million was on a flight to South Africa? Have we heard the last of it? NO.

The Jealous Ex-Fiance and a deadly Acid Bath (Viewers Discretion Advised)

The doctor and nurses are running frantically through the hospital aisle, down the lobby and through other available paths scaring other patients and family. A man with an acid bath might be losing his life and since the owner of the specialist hospital and doctor had vowed that they would never allow a soul die an avoidable death in their hospital this year, they didn’t want to leave anything to chance.

Nigerian Creative Industry Never got it so Good

Today, 15^th December 2014, at the Berkeley Hotels in GRA Ikeja, Lagos, game changers and the creative industry major players gathered for a tete-a-tete with creative specialists and practitioners. The event was hosted by GenTalk and sponsored by British Council, a sure supporter of the creative industry in Nigeria.

Sight and Sound from COSON boycotted British Council Creative Expo 2014

News went round that creative individuals, organisations and government policy holders should boycott the British Council Creative Industries Expo 2014 held at the Westown Hotels in Ikeja Lagos. 

Take a Risk Now!

Sitting here at the Westown Hotel off Sheraton opebi link road Ikeja for the British Council Creative Industries Expo 2014, I flash back few weeks back when I could never have been 'allowed' to attend such expository and self improving seminar because I should be in the office observing the rituals that will drop meager stipends into my salary account.

"Allison's Stand" sits in Societal Complexities

After going hiatus for a while on my blog, massive events have happened in my life that if I begin to share, you will open your mouth and will not close it until a creeping insect finds its way down your throat.

Press P.L.A.Y Concert Season 2 is Here (PRAISE LIKE A YOUTH)

The Praise Like A Youth concert (P.L.A.Y) is in its second year running and this year’s concert promises to be explosive and such that will cause divine encounter.

If the Future could be seen...

"The promise given was a necessity of the past: the word broken is a necessity of the present". Nicollo Machiavelli

Deep in the mind, the palpitations of failure is almost as loud as the beat of assured success and it has come to my notice that both must go hand in cheek till 'expected end'. The promise of good reward for persistent passion is but for the forlorn trench of a crazy heart. You need to be crazy so as to remain sane in the society of today.   

How Responsible Am I?

Hey guys, how una dey? Hope you haven’t missed me too much? So I went for this family reunion over the weekend with my wife and something happened! Hmmm, I say, SOMETHING happened. You know I always have gist for you guys? *wink*

If You win $4 Million Dollars, What will You do?

Imagine you wake up one morning and got the news that you just won $4 million? What will be your reaction? When I calculated that in Nigerian Naira, we got N640 million (N640, 000, 000.00) at the rate of N160 per dollar. WOW! My first reaction was that, ‘that is the budget of some states in Nigeria for the month and imagine the overheads and capital projects they need to pay for?’, lol.

Single @ 40? (Part 2)

So I wrote this piece where I tried to give personal opinion on public radio activity and for the first time (not in my life actually) someone wrote me through my linkedin page (at hindsight, I’m grateful that she didn't put it on my page or comment section for public viewing, I for cry… lol) criticizing my style of writing and blamed me for the problem in Nigeria… huh, like seriously?

The Voice

Today is exactly that type of day that I don’t feel like doing anything. I don’t feel like writing, I don’t feel like singing and I don’t even feel like thinking. I have been exhausted from the event of yesterday and I just want to sit in the office and loiter around the internet, feeding my brain with all the information I can get my hands and eyes on. I am currently playing gospel mix from YouTube and I feel some kind of presence following me, deep inside of me that I can’t explain.

Lagos Stand Still for Ankara Festival Carnival

A new kind of fever is coming and it is not that kind of bad fever, it is actually a good fever. For all lovers of African fabrics and Ankara fabrics especially should gear up because a festival is coming that will showcase the best of African fabrics.

Single at 40? What were You Waiting for?

I am an ardent listener of Inspiration Fm 92.3 but that is partly because I was lured there by my best OAP so far, Dan Foster. And since he left and started City FM, I have been glued to the station because of its family orientation and the other fantastic OAP’s like Wana Wizzle, CharlesDallas, Eyo Henry, Ruffy da Fire and Ayo the sportscaster that are doing great just to mention a few.

When He acts Up, it's Time to ‘Turn Up’ – Ladies Please!

Anwuli’s first sight of him was in a party and he didn’t mince words when he walked up to her demanding to speak to her. ‘You are a stranger as far as I am concerned and I can’t just give you my number’, she posited after several minutes of him trying. Despite her resistance, Ejima won’t bulge. He kept pressing but in such a pleasant way that Anwuli suddenly began to enjoy his company.
