Nigeria: Congregation growth by maggot count
Monday, 15 June 2009 5:02 A GMT+01
Sometimes a conversation leaves one oblivious of how to make some coherent sense of the discussion, this one is an example.

Thought Picnic: A world without bad religion
Friday, 24 April 2009 12:52 P GMT+01
My Thought Picnic looks at how the interpretation of religion and religious views takes away from our community of humanity and denigrates womenfolk.
The Audacity of Hope
Tuesday, 30 December 2008 7:03 P GMT+01
The Audacity of Hope reveals in glaring detail the audacity of a politician to think through issues in search of unity rather that division and rancour.
Nigeria: Gone is the Jos I knew
Monday, 1 December 2008 12:26 P GMT+01
My childhood memories of Jos hardly square up with the horrible religious riots that have lead to the death of hundreds.
Our political leaders must have something to pay for these avoidable and unnecessary situations.
The Gambia: They need a sane President
Saturday, 24 May 2008 8:34 P GMT+01
The President of The Gambia is out with another of his stupid pronouncements, last year, it was the cure for AIDS, now he is asking all homosexuals to leave The Gambia or be beheaded.
Don't name the teddy bear
Thursday, 29 November 2007 6:58 P GMT+01
Religious sensibilities offended by benign lapses in judgement or just humorous release are becoming the energy of the idle mob.
Who are the Yoruba?
Wednesday, 5 September 2007 1:29 P GMT+01
In the company of two professors I find out more about my culture considering they are Cubans.
Commending the civic Nigerian
Sunday, 22 April 2007 7:32 A GMT+01
Just a view about the preparations, the vote and the counting in Nigeria.
My Spanish Indecision - Easter in Madrid
Monday, 9 April 2007 3:37 A GMT+01
Visiting Madrid for Easter
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?
Beyond the veil
Tuesday, 17 October 2006 10:04 P GMT+01
In my view, the whole raucous about the veil in the UK is about ease of communication curtailed by the foreign cultures that take advantage of freedoms to create separate societies in a host culture.
Somehow, strange sexualities excite Africans
Friday, 8 September 2006 8:05 P GMT+01
They publish names, accuse people in high places, revile those caught in the act and the elders on the village might just ignore all this because it is just none of their business.
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.
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.
A large body count with no ease as war ceases
Monday, 14 August 2006 5:11 P GMT+01
The people who lost the most from the Israeli-Lebanon conflict are those who were sacrificed in the proxy war between American and Iran, neither Israel nor Lebanon have gained anything - rather they would have to talk to each other.
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.
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.
The people are high on opium - V
Friday, 24 February 2006 10:59 P GMT+01
I am saddened to see that the Mohammed cartoon saga is still costing lives around the world. We now need to examine the conseqences of exercising the freedom of expression. It is time also for Morgenavisen Jyllands-Posten to take some responsibility.
Batter yourself not your wife
Tuesday, 21 February 2006 10:29 A GMT+01
The Vagina Monologues would hopefully be playing in Nigeria in March. It has set blogs alight with issues as diverse as wife battering, rape and genital mutilation. I just address wife battering here.
The people are high on opium - IV
Thursday, 9 February 2006 10:59 P GMT+01
Another installment on my Muslim heritage when I witnessed another face of Islam, that included stuttering, possessions and prophecy - as at that time - it was the strangest thing to witness.
The people are high on opium - III
Wednesday, 8 February 2006 6:29 P GMT+01
My Muslim heritage suffers further scrutiny as I try to reconcile the differences between people of reason and the mob.
The martyrdom of the cartoon
Tuesday, 7 February 2006 10:59 P GMT+01
The people are high on opium - II - I continue my discourse on the cartoon unrests and the unfortunate loss of life as religious leaders fail once again to instruct persuasively on the need for reason.
Reasoning without cartoons
Thursday, 2 February 2006 10:59 P GMT+01
Having to write about the same topic again bothers me as the Mohammedan cartoons consume our attention when religious leaders should be speaking up to cool tempers and encourage temperance. Reason should prevail and stop this religious frenzy.
In search of a humorous God
Wednesday, 1 February 2006 10:59 P GMT+01
Fatwas, demonstrations, recriminations, boycotts, arguments, noise and discord hits Europe against in the clash of secularity with religion. Would we not be at peace if we let God rather than let men?
