Visions from A Troubled Soul

His look was stern. He stood afar off, cutting a figure from a movie scene, the dark rising of a falling sun, or something like that if the movie ever gets a title. His shadow covered half of Lagos, or so it looks. It was a frightening sight, the streets closed, central business districts deserted and the ever combustible ojuelegba now a shadow of its former self.

How We Disrespect D’BANJ

Dapo Oyebanji popular known and called D’banj is an entertainer extraordinaire with a recognizable life span on the Nigerian music scene for 10 years and more if you added his days before he 'blew'. D’banj cuts across to you as that regular guy with a tenacious penchant for mischief and a ‘loud’ penetrating personality that could even be intimidating at times (ask Dr Sid) yet our beloved D’banj has become the one people love to hate.

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.
