Why Big Brother Naija TV Show is Culturally Disastrous to Nigerians

Image
  People of different races in the world - white, black, half-caste hold in high esteem different things about their life; outlook, lifestyle, choice/preference among other options. As regards things about oneself, there are some things that should be private to an extent; physically, socially, spiritually, financially and all the``-ly`` you can ever think of. But when what is supposed to be private has been aired, then it is no more private except when it is without the permission of the victim, then, it is simply invasion of privacy which attracts legal implication. Gone are those days when the human genitals have pride and sexual intercourse was private, done with dignity and enjoyed by wedded couples but now, reverse is the case. I don't have a problem with anyone having s3x with an unmarried person or even animals (only God will cleanse the land) . What I have a problem with is having s3x and publicizing it. We now have more porn stars than graduates, I mean what i

Forbidden Fruits Ate by Nigerians in Diaspora; Tips and Considerations

"Home, sweet home" they say. Whenever the home is not rosy or palatable for the homies (dwellers), hope lies outside the beloved "home" for their survival and development. Nigerians regardless of their complexities; ethnic groups, religion, race spread across the face of the

Why You Must Think Beyond Valentine's Day Celebration

Image
The special day celebration of Saint Valentine mostly called Valentine's Day anywhere in the World is nothing but a reflection of beautiful moments of love as roses (and other pleasant things) keep flying in and out before the d-day and afterwards from one locality to the other. I begin to ask myself why much preference is attached to this day when it's not the Christmas, the Boxing Day or even the New Year celebration. An idea immediately popped up like my friend, Ayo Bankole would say -" its the season of love". Since love is the first and binding of all laws, I succumb to the day's celebration and the excitement it gives its' celebrants (ladies and gentleman). For an everlasting enjoyment of the goodies attached to the day, CUNCAR must be considered by the lovers involved. CUNCAR here implies; C - Care UN- Understanding CA - Caution R - Reasoning SEE ALSO; Why Ladies Fall to Wrong Guys Repeatedly  Care and Understanding can sustain

Worries and Shame of Celebrating Ex-Convict with the Caption "Lion is Back"

Image
The return of the former Governor of Delta State, Chief James Ibori, from UK jail has been applauded as a great defeat by his kinsmen. The Oghara born was welcomed with great celebration, ranging from thanksgiving to congratulatory messages on the media, even after serving a 13-year jail term in the United Kingdom. Personally, I have less issue with people (of Delta state) painting the whole town red to celebrate his “victorious” return, what I'm mostly concerned about is the metaphor used to describe him in a congratulatory message in one of the Nigerian dailies-“the lion is back”.  SEE ALSO; President Muhammadu Buhari Death Rumour - Tips and Considerations I cannot but be perplexed at the pride, effrontery, and encouragement these people have given him to do more.  What is so “ lionable ” in being an ex-convict? A disgrace to the nation,  A bad example to the youth,  A  living testimony of corruption -  who used looted public funds to buy luxury homes; fleet o

President Muhammadu Buhari Death Rumour; Tips and Considerations

Image
Arguably, the death of a poor man in the society has no meaning and account to the general public while the sojourn of a rich popular person raises a lot of eyebrows. Simply put, the irony of life is like a chameleon full of dramas where life is light while the opposite (death) is "darkness". The respect given to the life of an individual is directly connected to their position in the society (profession, occupation, national duties/assignment), which therefore grants them the same respect at their demise. Death rumour in Nigeria's politics is not a new development to the updated/informed being from inception till date (except for cases withheld for traditional rites). Among the list of the death-rumoured dignitaries who lived afterwards were;  Awujale of Ijebu Land - Oba Sikiru Adetona, Ooni of Ile Ife - Oba Sijuade Okunade ,  Governor of Kogi State - Yahaya Bello Former Delta State Governor - Dr Emmanuel Uduaghan, Former President - Ibrahim Babangida,  Form

Why Trumpism Ideology Will Harm Americans Unexpectedly

Image
The greatness of America as a nation today has a connection with the contribution of people of different races (white, black or half cast) from earliest time till date. Since Rome was not built in a day, special praises should be given to appropriate contributors - governor, president, entrepreneur, inventor, e.t.c. Noticeably, the arrow head of the United States of America,the President had been instrumental in the struggle for development from the days of George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, John Kennedy, George Bush's, Bill Clinton, Barrack Obama, and recently Donald Trump. Outcome of  the 2016 Presidential election left people (within and outside the states) shocked as the World anticipated for the first Female President due to poll results and debate.
