(1 Kings 3:1-15; 4:29-34; 8:62-66; 9:1-9) Solomon, one of the most remarkable human beings that ever lived was born in Jerusalem. He was the second-born child of David and his wife Bathsheba (widow of Uriah the Hittite). The biblical narrative shows that Solomon served as a peace offering between God and David, due to his adulterous relationship with Bathsheba. When the woman Read More…
Since man left the Garden of Eden, there has been no blight more despicable than the evil of racism. Based on the fallacy that the worth of a person is dependent on the colour of his skin, this tempest has been responsible for countless crimes against humanity and the polarisation of the world based on Read More…
Any idea, no matter how small or banal, can lead to great wealth. Ordinarily, the word “ass”, “buttock” or “bottom” would be scoffed at. But one inspired man took that word in its old Bendel lingo version known as “Ikebe” and made great and enduring wealth out of it. Wale Adenuga, the son of a Read More…
Asides from the fact that having your children share in house chores helps relieve you of some stress, it also has numerous benefits for the kids which many may not be aware of. Sometimes we feel they’re too young and shouldn’t be bothered. Other times we feel like it’s okay and we can handle it Read More…
THE world gathered this week under the United Nations to talk peace, security and socio-economic justice, but hawks circled and beneficiaries of a skewed world sat silent in cold complicity. It was the 78th Session of the United Nations General Assembly, UNGA, and even as the world on Thursday, September 21, complemented the UN objectives Read More…

In many ways, High Chief Olusegun Matthew Okikiola Ogunboye Aremu Obasanjo is a great man. In many ways, too, his plebeian irascibility makes him look like a medieval proletarian who gatecrashed into modern high society and feels obliged to play Orunmila. In case you didn’t know, Orunmila is the Yoruba god of wisdom and knowledge. Read More…
Review by Olatoun Gabi-Williams Up until “A Woman Alone”, I had not read any of Bessie Head’s books. The image I carried of one of Africa’s finest writers was not of a producer of literary works but of a mixed-race woman in a black-and-white photograph. Her swarthy face would be matronly were it not for Read More…
I am not in the habit of poking my nose into affairs that don’t concern me, except that when a fart is released in one corner of the room, it will inevitably spread around in obedience to the direction of the wind. Ogun State may be comparatively small in the Nigerian community of states, but Read More…
The first country I visited outside Nigeria was the United States. We were a group and it was a business vacation. Interestingly, we eat a lot of foreign cuisines in Nigeria thanks to fast food joints and also intercontinental restaurants. But trying these foods on foreign soil is a whole new experience. On the first Read More…
