Reflections On Clergy Politics in Nigeria
I used to cringe every time I heard the interjection “Holy Shit!” I thought it was vulgar and blasphemous since things should not be both ‘holy’ and ‘shit’. Now I don’t cringe anymore. Actually, it is a ‘descriptive phrase’, not a mere interjection. Let’s deconstruct it: some things could rightly be referred to as ‘holy’ such as the things pertaining to the church; conversely, some other things could be referred to as ‘shit’ or ‘shitty’ such as the shitty remarks the boss made about your draft.

Corruption: Between Yulia And Gloria
Politics is said to be a game of numbers, but one must add here that it is one for the strong and the brave — especially in Africa! All around the world the menfolk dominate political spaces because they bear certain things women can’t bear and withstand a lot of pressure that comes with being in public life. Some women have distinguished themselves nonetheless on global scenes, and we owe them appreciation for their ability to be in command in spite of the men.

Aburo Iro: American Politics, President Jonathan’s Aides, And Lies.
A lie, any straightforward, flat out lie, has younger brothers known as “aburo iro”. Nowhere is this phenomenon better illustrated than in the actualities of American political life and practices.

Lying to the American people over even trifle always has grievous consequences if you are caught.
