The example of riches untold

Sunday, 31 August 2008 12:50 A GMT+01

Another in my Apes Obey! Series that analyses how the lack of apprehension and inability to visualise the future in the case about Africans for Obama and the involvement of Professor Okereke-Onyiuke is a well documented Nigerian trait.

Our Lady of Fátima

Friday, 22 August 2008 5:01 A GMT+01
My visit to Fátima, the place of pilgrimage of the sanctuary and shrine of Our Lady of Fátima.

Nigeria: What Africans for Obama exposes about judgement

Nigeria: The plight of unpaid but working Nigerians

Friday, 15 August 2008 10:11 A GMT+01
The number of staff in Nigeria who have worked like slaves and not been paid for months, if not years is too alarming to ignore. This is a crisis that requires inspired legislation to protect the right to be paid when supposedly employed.

Apes Obey! With very little sense of veracity

Wednesday, 13 August 2008 2:43 A GMT+01
Another in my Apes Obey! Series about very little sense of veracity concerning Ambassador Edem's public profile and private occult activities along with his abuse of power and misappropriation of funds.

Apes Obey! Seldom rises above pantheistic animism

Monday, 11 August 2008 9:42 P GMT+01
Another from Apes Obey! Series. The chairman of the NDDC is suspended and arrested for spending $4 million on witch doctor services to kill a colleague and earn juicy contracts.

Pursuing a cause greater than self

Saturday, 9 August 2008 1:34 P GMT+01
To have a cause greater than self is to be able to fix your vision on that goal and refuse to be tempted by desires of the flesh in order to pursue that cause to its conclusion.

Even more memories of a child

Saturday, 9 August 2008 8:17 A GMT+01
My earliest memories of home schooling and my very first school.

More memories of a child

Friday, 8 August 2008 12:16 A GMT+01
Someone left a comment about his memories as a child in the same school I went to as a child. I have published it as a blog.

Nigeria: A very welcome reprieve
