The Cult of the Burnt Fornicator II - Judgment Day
Thursday, 11 January 2007 10:59 P GMT+01
The leader of the Christian Praying Assembly where sex sinners get doused with petrol and set alight in Nigeria is to hang. Would this be a lesson to those charlatans who seek to deceive?

Somehow, strange sexualities excite Africans
Friday, 8 September 2006 8:05 P GMT+01

Admitting the CIA secret prisons did exist leaves one wondering how many more admissions would completely destroy the last ounce of respect America can show.
The Day of the Toothpicks
Thursday, 7 September 2006 11:03 A GMT+01
7 inconsequential ministers resign from Mr. Blair's government in order to force his hand to tell us when he is leaving the job of Prime Minister, it is possible they have been put up to it by the Chancellor of the Executor - who knows?
The raid on Peking, London
Saturday, 2 September 2006 8:04 P GMT+01
The raid on a Chinese restaurant in London shows how this war on terror is impacting seriously on our way of life.
Ahmedinejad-Bush coming to your television
Tuesday, 29 August 2006 10:59 P GMT+01
The Iranian doctor of engineering invites a one-time failed oil businessman to a debate about world issues. I want a front row seat, who is selling the tickets? bin Laden might also already be dead so what fuels the war on terror?
My contribution to the war on terror - suspicion
Monday, 28 August 2006 6:57 P GMT+01
This war on terror is turning me into a vulnerable, suspicious, jittery bigot ready to view any seemingly unacceptable observation as anti-social and hence having terrorist tendencies. Are we all getting programmed that way?
I take this opportunity
Sunday, 27 August 2006 10:59 P GMT+01
This was the preamble to an invitation to the high table of a 50th Birthday party I attended and I think I am a lot less Nigerian than I thought I was.
The job just comes
Sunday, 27 August 2006 8:45 P GMT+01
I write about my good fortune in terms of looking for work and how most of my appointments have been through the network of previous associations and contracts.

Saturday, 26 August 2006 1:53 P GMT+01
The minister in charge of safety and security in South Africa suggests that the police should ride donkeys to crime scenes.
Made in America - just in your backyard

Back to James Blake and Rosa Parks - 1955 to 2006
Friday, 25 August 2006 1:50 A GMT+01
Black students are asked to give up their seats for white students 51 years after Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat. America, we've got a serious problem.
A coffee blend bereft of Java beans
Monday, 7 August 2006 3:07 A GMT+01
I just could not find the heart or inspiration to embark on a Java course, so that venture is postponed for 24 days whilst I seek some therapy through going on holiday.
Condi knows nothing about birth pangs
Saturday, 29 July 2006 2:04 A GMT+01
Bombs and hostilities continue as birth pangs of a new Middle-East as the midwife returns to the woman in travail and extended labour to probably deliver the baby still-born. No new Middle-East can emerge with this belligerence.
Explaining a stolen lunchbox
Thursday, 27 July 2006 11:59 A GMT+01
A hapless stranger gets mobbed and killed because some other stranger believes that his manhood has been stolen. This a part of reality in some parts of Nigeria. Unbelievable but true.
Evidence of good medical research
Tuesday, 25 July 2006 7:02 P GMT+01
That testtube baby is 28 today - that was research done in Europe for the benefit of all - hopefully, America and see through the emotion of stem cell research just as Europe did yesterday.
Tone blind
Tuesday, 18 July 2006 12:29 P GMT+01
Skin darkening (tanning) and skin lightening (toning) all get a look in as the sun tans some and the heat leads others to expose their toning mishaps. The Summer season is here at last.
The new ball order - Football meritocracy
Friday, 23 June 2006 5:31 A GMT+01
The World Cup levels the playing field of political powers and undue influence - little countries make minced meat of behemoths and if you cannot play you get beaten and go home. The Olympics has nothing on the World Cup.
Arise! Sir easy
Saturday, 17 June 2006 11:37 P GMT+01
The Chairman of easyGroup of companies is knighted in the Queen's birthday honours list- I suppose a new business can come out of this accolade - easyHonours?
The Joy of Living
Friday, 16 June 2006 9:19 P GMT+01
20 years ago, a group of Christian joined in the United Artistes for Africa project to raise money for the Ethiopian famine victims. I remember only so much.
Insemination Tax Credit
Tuesday, 6 June 2006 5:08 P GMT+01
If the President of the United States is really serious about strong marriages, he should stop going after gay marriage and rather strengthen marriage through Insemination Tax Credits.
Diplomatic tactlessness
Tuesday, 9 May 2006 9:35 A GMT+01
The Iranian President writes to George Bush - they read and castigate - are there not other ways to reply to a letter? The US could have been more discrete, sensitive and mature about this episode - Unlikely!!
Old-age Rum's field day
Friday, 5 May 2006 9:43 P GMT+01
A hapless septuagenarian was heckled during an important speech to his supporters, then accused of lying. How rotten! This is in empathetic concern and commiseration. Why badger a poor old man?
Parachuting into Antwerp
Sunday, 30 April 2006 1:12 P GMT+01
Your mind is a parachute, it works better when open; is the open minded lesson I learnt from Antwerp this weekend.
Why Brussels doesn't work
Sunday, 23 April 2006 8:25 A GMT+01
Europe and Brussels are synonymous, Brussels is a microcosm of Europe. What works works and what doesn't grates. We, the people of Europe have to protest vehemently to be heard but no guarantee of good results. This is Europe through storage lockers.
