Dear Toke Makinwa,

I disregard your advice to young girls and I'll tell you why. You might have been tapped out or hormonal. Or maybe you meant something else but ended up with the wrong choice of words to say exactly what you mean. Who are we to know exactly because in this present world, People can do anything, say anything and they have no tinge of regret about it.

I choose not to ignore you, Toke, because let's say you are like an elder Sister. I know you always read Pastor COKER'S GODFESSIONS and you may have missed reading it for some days or so and you derailed from what good you should have said. You are a Christian by the way and you should have known better. I also write because your mind needs to be called back.

Here is what you advised :
"You said, as a lady in early twenties, you 'can' crash a party, have a night stand, or kiss a stranger. You also said that you kissed a stranger when you were within that age."

This advice of yours is worse than murder or suicide. It is even worse than a plane crash because if the objects of your admonition heed to your malnourished words, it will be a total disaster to everyone on the surface of this Nigeria. The far reaching outcomes of a careless life can breakdown this society. Nigeria is already a sick nation, by the way.

Nigeria isn't in the 21st century yet and you want its young girls to befriend clubs and live a care free life till they are 25,then they are licensed to get a job. This advice is silly. It is a reckless one to come from you. On the flipside, you want us to waste our 17-24th year on earth and then get serious at 25. who does that?

For your information, that age bracket is a delicate period in every young Person's life. That is when bulk of the mistakes are made and then fixing starts in the late 20's. It is a phase when young ones would fill an A4 paper with innumerable dreams and aspirations. It is a period when everything seems possible to them. AT that age, if one is mislead, that life is taken aback by several years.

Do you mean that there are no other beneficial ways to enjoy ones 17-24th age? What happened to travelling, reading wide, networking, learning skills, exercising and other healthier choices? Adolf Dassler started Adidas at 20, Frank Carney a co-founder of Pizza hut started at 20, Steve Jobs was 21 when he started Apple, (You won't be a proud owner of an iPhone if he was the man of the club) Ingvar Kamprad was 17 when he started IKEA, a furnishings empire. They did not wait to arrive at 25 to be useful. No. They didn't have to. How about Malala and even our own Emmanuela, should they go on leave to roast their lives in stinking clubs and make a comeback when they clock 25? Ei!! Answer me, Toke.

So maybe you should redress your advice. Unless you want to be that kind of elder Sister that would starve a 17-24 years old for doing something serious.
Enjoying ones life is not a one time thing. It even started from the foetal stage and will end in death. Even upon retirement, old People still want to be useful. Some of them resort to planting a garden and supervising it on daily basis. Each time you look into it, its as though that little farm is swept twice a day.

I therefore erase all the acne and blemishes on the skin of those words that came out of your heart with the pursuit of purpose and significance till death comes knocking.

Big Sis, you should renew your mind and read-up the confessions you missed from that precious book.

Dear Edo People,

Sometimes People do not want to directly tell you to your face the blunt truth. They would paint it in another way and dress it to look so cheerful but they mean another thing and if you get to understand that other 'hidden' meaning, your smiles and laughter will shrink at the spend of light.

Here is exactly what APC means :

1) You are cheap that akara ball can afford you: The akara won't fall to your laps o, you will struggle to catch one. There won't still be orderliness during the distribution. Suddenly, party officials in charge will hide some of the akara balls to feed their dogs. People steal for themselves or for their own and a pet is its owner's own.

2) You are poor: APC won't figure out how to tackle poverty. No doubt, they understand that most of you find it difficult to feed and there best strategy to tackle that is by giving you akara balls. Remember that hundreds of this oil will be fried in the same oil. You won't care about that because you just need to eat.

3) You need any kind of help: The fact that you need help is not what this party should joke about. You need help, the good kind of help. How long will the akara balls keep coming?

4) You should die: To continously feed you with akara balls will land you in malnutrition. This malnutrition will probably not be easily diagnosed by the poorly equipped hospitals. So they want to feed you akara till death do you guys apart.

5) They don't mean you well : The amount of akara balls you all eat from this spot is not free at all. You will pay back in a hundred folds as soon as they get you to vote them in. You will suffer from neglect and the cold shoulders they would give you because as soon as you vote them in, they have to read the fruits of their investments in akara balls and you will pay for that including the firewoods used in frying the balls.

6) They also think you are unintelligent. APC just called you guys (Empty heads) for them to shamelessly showcase this dark shaded benevolence.

Find a way to disagree with them. Vote them out and vote any other party that thinks you are human and deserve some respect. Vote for a party that is not warming up for a masqurade parade. Vote a serious one.

If you think about these things, you should tick them out of your options and watch the rest of the parties till you bring the options down to one which ultimately becomes your choice.

You can't be all these things APC is hiding and expect to be valuable in their eyes.

Do not be gullible, Edo People.

The least any one who considers himself a Nigerian should do is to be able to recite our national anthem and say the pledge. After that, we can now talk about living by the creeds so that what was spoken is not bottled or left in an immobile or infertile state.

Some ambassadorial nominees could not sing the anthem. Apparently they are ignorant of the words, they probably have long considered it a waste of time to store up such lines in their heads. They may as well fling the usual excuse which poor people would :that they are on the look out for stomach infrastructure rather than a more anthem.

But what kind of disease do we call this one? Even primary school students have the anthem on their finger tips , including the very ones who come last in the class can participate without worries, they will even spice it up by drumming on their desks. And I am twenty four hours sure that most of our elected leaders cannot recite the anthem too.

Technology has rescued such people by allowing us have the sound track, People then prefer placing their palm on their chest and allow the track play till finish without them batting their lips. But they usually nod while the sweet sound play.

There is so much ignorance in our seats of power and We keep electing these disappointing figures.

BURNA BOY AND UJU GIRL
For clarity sake, did Burna BOY fail basic science? Who disrupted his brains into thinking that sleeping with a girl once won’t get her pregnant? Even a tiny drop of the sperm can give a woman twins, triplets and above. So, his mockery is meaningless and exposes his unlearned head.
UJU Stella (UJU GIRL) on the other hand is shamelessly forcing it into the throat of concerned and unconcerned Nigerians that her ‘very’ man just left a signature on her inside. What exactly is she looking for? Burna’s money or a small slice of fame or does she want fashion lovers or movie goers to spot her easily anytime she hustles herself to a Party well dressed. What exactly?
Legitimately married couples rejoice at the news that they should be expecting. Most Women would even receive a car gift from their husbands for conceiving because it is a good thing to have a fruit of labour. They go out of their way to make sweet preparations for the unborn baby. But in this case, the hole which willingly or drunkenly accepted the seed from the sower is not happy and theSower is denying ever walking pass the hole more than once. This is a shame.
It is high time Nigerians dissociate themselves from these celebrities whose lives are unhealthy for our advancements. We need to be able to separate good music from garbage. When we gulp down music that erupted from an empty head, we are just speedily reducing our IQs. This kind of drama only lets us know the kind of life the People our Children adore and fantasize about are proudly living. It will not be a surprise if the Children of today end up imitating their careless heroes in future..
As for the Uju GIRL, I’m so sorry for you. With the way you are going about it, I sense that you really wanted him to cultivate you and plant a seed. You have been preparing for the Doctor’s positive result about the fresh pregnancy you just won for yourself. I wish you well in your hustle. But you didn’t know that you were a flower; fragile and deserving respect and beauty. It’s a pity.
Burna BOY and Uju GIRL, when you grow up, you will learn to behave like adults. You will learn from your biology teacher that at least a CONDOM would have allowed you have a safer sex. You would learn from a Pastor that premarital sex is ungodly. But as children, your peers would glory in your terrible ignorance and even applaud you for it.
I hope you find a good godfather for your unborn baby ALMOST –Mr & Mrs Burna boy.

OMAWUNMI IS NO BIGGER THAN THE RUMOUR

SO I laughed out without control after watching the clip of the interview where our WARRI GIRL, who doesn't take shit walked away from an interview. And her last statement (And you will still publish it o) crowned my laughter with a heavier intensity.

How come she couldn't contain the anger boiling on her inside when this sensitive question was asked. She had earlier answered the first about 'the real father of her child' in a gentle way but got fired up when 'weed' was in the same sentence with an assumption. Someone might conclude that she probably smoked the 'weed' before showing up for the interview too. Who knows!!

Though that 'weed question' was not really a question. The interviewer had concluded that she smoked the stuff before asking the warri princess about how she manages that side of her with parenting. Awkward, isn't it. Considering the fact that they have known each other since 2007. For her to have asked that, she probably was asking from her knowledge base, so she unconsciously concluded before asking the real question she asked.

I think that was unprofessional even though celebrities like Selena Gomez and late Joan Rivers have walked out of interviewers as well. That they did that as international selling artists doesn't make it right. It's like committing suicide when life gets tough. A celebrity should always expect certain awkward and tiring questions. They should always be in touch with their professional selves so as to properly answer when such thorny questions are asked. They are not celebrities just to have a trailer load of fans hero-worshipping them or for them to sign autographs.

Beyonce and Lady Gaga are her fellow artists but on a larger scale and these ones constantly face their share of rumours and accusations per second per second. They still find a way to keep a calm demeanor and craft excellent answers rather than creating a drama out of a weird question. Maybe our warri girl should create her own hive as Beyonce's. I suggest she names it " My Area boys and girls" because things from Warri usually have this roughness about them.

Being a celebrity has its sweet and sour sides. It tastes like Ginger and honey and both has its nutritional benefits. She needs to outgrow rumours and be exposed.

LESSONS REVERBERATING IN MY HEAD FROM THE TIWA & TEE BILLZ's TURBULENT MARRIAGE

1) Marriage is never a cure for infidelity. If you perceive the tendency that your partner would cheat, and you can't cope with that, please leave. You might not fix it.

2) Don't marry for sympathy sake. Don't even do it to prove a point or because the fellow claims to have assisted God in creating you. Never.

3) If your partner has spent a lot on You and along the way, you believe you won't make good couple, approach the other person and if force creeps in, ask for the total amount minus your input and then pay the balance, then walk away.

4) When an opposite sex is splashing so much love on you, better be careful and search for any hidden intent. Or find your own route to always compensate. Don't always be a receiver.

5) Don't crucify People whose marriages couldn't work. You might be inviting Karma. Marriage life is not as tasty as orange juice. Just learn.

6) As married couples, always have a round table discussion and spread out your plans and goals. Learn to accept a fault and make amends.

7) Marriage is not a community affair. It's between two persons. Choose for yourself whose shits you can stomach.

Men, treat your women right. Most times they are the ones who perceive the future and I slightest dangers on their inside. Learn to pay rapt attention to whatever they say.

9) Ladies, make sure you have a good source of income such that when trouble shows up and he starts boasting about bringing you out of the bin, you can buy a ticket to London the next day and go for a month or two holiday. You may call him from there. After all, you have the cash.

10) Whether single or married, don't try to live out louder than you are. Stay true to yourself and allow people to choose (not) appreciate you. So that you may not be drenched in brokenness.

11) Don't get married to someone in order to reward him/her. You are not a trophy.

12) Marriage is not for everybody. You can still be single and satisfied.

THE GOVERNOR OF ENUGU STATE SHOULD INHALE AND EXHALE BEFORE TALKING.

WHY would this Governor declare prayer and fasting after he wept at the site of the butchered bodies of his People? I mean, is that all there is inside his head as an option to snatch the weapons of warfare used by the so called fulani herdsmen off them and bring them to justice? This must be a joke.

First of all, I'm a hard core Christian : I read my bible daily, pray and go to church like there was no tomorrow. That said, granted.

The folks who sacrificed the people in Enugu are not the normal cattle rearers we think about when normadic farming is mentioned. These ones are bloodthirsty buffoons who employed the Cattle rearing strategy to commit Unwholesome crimes. They move about wiping out their fellow humans from the surface of this earth.

What are they up to? You see, they executed their wicked plans in Benue state sometime ago and the moved to a neighboring state for another round. Next is Ebonyi or Abia or Imo or who knows where. They are preoccupied with ETHNIC CLEANSING and even the governor is not serious about it.

They are on a mission to know the knooks and crannies of the South and Eastern States in preparation for what I don't exactly now. They are like the spies David would always send out before His army would launch an attack and they come out victorious because of their series of preparations.

This Governor's pronouncement is laughable and burdensome. How in the world does he think that ONLY prayer a d fasting would sort this thing out? Did he embrace prayer a d fasting to win the election? NO. HE must be joking.

You see the kind of leaders we vote into power in this part of the world. Simple things are difficult for them to unravel. How soon will we experience a transformation when a lot of heads without knowledge are hovering around the leadership positions?

Receive Sense, Gov Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi.

Think.

#Askingforsomebody

Fellow Nigerians,

I am pained. Yes. I am really really pained like bad. The stories of inhumane treatments of our fellow countrymen who have experienced some Unwholesome treatments or brutalities is enough. I think it is enough.

The fulani herdsmen are busy slicing human bodies without remorse and the government is treating that case with kids glove. For decades now, the civil servants have been doing their jobs with every shade of laxity and undesirable disposition.

As I write this, I almost see myself and my whole family bundled up in a coaster and I imagine myself waving at the rest of the persons who don't belong to my household as we journey to 'over and away' where sanity dwells. When I mean bundling up, I mean everything that belongs to us including the microscopic male and female gametes. Everything.

But I wouldn't do that. Good should subdue bad and not the other way round. Let's pray:

Lord Jesus, thank you for creating a country such as this. Thank you for having such words like victory, overcoming, jubilation in your stock of words. Thank you.

I come on behalf of my fellow countrymen and the foreign expatriates that reside here to ask for a total cleansing. I ask that you once again drop tiny bits of sense into the brain box of your people here so that we may fully understand the basis of creation. So that people can have respect for their fellow humans and not see them as a piece of meat.

Lord, deliver us all from every evil that pops up its head, please help us wipe away Every element of bad leadership. Let your Angels assist us in pushing away humongous traits of peace and quiet.

All these and many unwritten desires I ask in Jesus name. Amen.

TO BUKOLA SARAKI, WITH LOVE

HOW uncomfortable you must have been over the weeks and months about the true or false allegations by your enemies who are in power with you.

Fighting corruption is mostly an US against YOU battle. We the electorates do not know so much about how you guys dispense the huge frightening billions of naira and dollars from our national atm. We only rely on expository confessions of the enemies of those in power to hear certain gifts before we can weigh in.

But if the battle changes hands to be a you against you kind, it lessens our burden and we can be expectant spectators watching closely and applauding and clicking our fingers.

You might say you were accused, but its either a true fault or sin. Who knows!!
If you are guilty of looting funds and/or other atrocities caused by your association with power, I'm sorry you have to face it.

I understand anti-party politics would not let you breathe plus the fact that it might be fellow criminals or Saints that are shouting "Kill him, kill him". So, we at this end are patiently waiting for the outcome.

I wouldn't be the last man standing for you like Dino Melaye, No. I refuse to be. I want you to face the battle even if it were as a result of your own version of original sin or that from your father who ones swam in power, face it.

I don't have a problem with criminals crucifying their ilks because most of us on this side pray that may those who milk our economy eat their flesh and drink their blood. It is better that way and very easy. Should it be on our court, we'd scream out the rooftops and roll on the muddy ground to have someone in your power congregation face a consequence.

I stopped the taxi and entered for a four minutes drive to my office. The plus sized man whose flesh has been compacted with some weight lifting was driving. I was the only passenger and I was seated in front.

Just about an inch drive, we drove pass a girl whom I guess was coming from a salon. Her hair was freshly coiled.

"Cynthia " the driver called out. The girl didn't stop, she kept moving.

" This girl na rough girl, na club girl be that "this driver said. He was now talking to me as we kept on motion.

I usually don't have much to say in this kind of discussions because he would have promised the girl on the days they met each other how she can count on him and be rest assured no other ear would hear of their adventures. But I was the wrongest person to be told that. Or maybe the right person with an appropriate answer.

"Any club dey this side?" The driver asked me. I was focused and not affirming any of his earlier narratives with a nod or eye contact. But this question must be answered.

"There are churches around this area and I believe they have weekly services and might hold all-night prayer sessions some days in the week.

Guess his response and reaction.

My message have been passed and he wouldn't need another response to shut his mouth and stop those ugly tales about someone else's life.

There are many ways to evangelise.

BEAUTY THERAPY NONSENSE (Aisha Buhari - The first Lady)

IT is a terrible thing that Nigerians have been plagued with comediennes as First ladies. The ones that'll tickle you till your brain is mashed and it drains out of your ears-madness. Let the past one be past but what would one say about this present one launching a beauty therapy book on an awful Memorial day with a supposed humongous purpose ?

How do you shape your mouth to explain this to any rational human being. What climbed into her brains to edge her to get this book out as though she were a fashion icon. And isn't this a tragic poo of a joke at this critical time when Nigerians are not smiling, when people are literally letting down tears from their eyes because of how awful things have become to most Nigerians. How is this the kind of support she can give when International media are all 'Chibok - chibok' and indirectly pointing fingers at our incapable leaders who don't give a cowdung about its people while she wants to launch a book on beauty same day.

I won't spare her this atrocity. So she wants the unfortunate victims of terror to beautify themselves despite the microscopic progress of today's government. It will sound better if Yemi Alade launches a Palmflet about hair or Rita Dominic sends an sms to Nigerians on 'keeping your skin silky' or Omoni Oboli talking about natural hair today since the are not directly responsible for rescuing the missing girls. This First lady 'haf started her own drama in a bookish way'.

The most heartbreaking one is where the reporter informs his readers that this book and it's launch was borne out of CONCERN for the missing Chibok girls and the 40 secondary school students murdered.
What kind of mockery is that? Rescue the girl's, No. Fake concern. She'd prefer to let them rot in the thorny hands of their ugly hosts. She wants to only celebrate their Memorial.

According to Vanguard, Buhari (The President) noted that proceeds of the book which is a MASTERPIECE on the intricate linkage between Beauty
and wellness therapy as well as improving health conditions of Nigerians, will be dedicated towards charity and bettering the living conditions of families of the embattled girls, parents of the deceased boys and also Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs).

Please read this one and share the burden with yours truly. I think Dame Aisha needs some tutorials . As for the Vp, I'm floored at his 'unnoticeableness' and follow-follow self.

It's 11:53Pm and I need to catch some sleep.
This one is a tragedy. The one that starts eating you up from the first scene.

God bless Nigeria.

To CHIDINMA EKILE,

I was typing your surname and the autocorrect changed Ekile to Eagle. I was wowed and almost wanted to shut the hell up from continuing with what I have to say.

Actually, I'm concerned about you and your journey from being a contestant in Project fame to winning the competition. Flavor was already in the scene and did it turn out you never won, he'd not have winked at you ever since. I think so.

So, it pleases me to tell you not to be his handkerchief or Chihuahua . Please be careful while hanging out with him or having a 'thing' for him. Biko.
You know the world has not been fair to women especially in Africa.

We lost Anna Banner to him and now he kept her in a garage and is looking for another fresh, silky skinned Lady. He found You. Anna Banner was probably lost in a tiny fame plus the pleasure of a King like Flavor asking her out or maybe having his phone number and calling him anytime made her feel like the whole universe should go Gaga for she had found love-a conditional one. Lol.

To remain an Eagle, stay carefull. You can ask your other female colleagues how they manage this kind of thing to their advantage.

PROFESSOR LALE, YOUR STUDENTS ARE NOT INSECTS.

I'M aware you are an entomologist (a person who studied insects) but that shouldn't get in the way of proper conflict resolution or reasoning together with the SUG of your institution.

Now that they had you-Prof Ndowa Lale as the Vice Chancellor of Uniport, many thought things will change for the better. That word "change" again. Things are toughening the more.

I wonder why Uniport would be an exception when compared to the other Federal universities. Beyond the school fees increase which supercedes that of other federal universities, the Senate came up with a trait to not let students who have not paid their fees to write exams.

This is not the kind of pace the school should set. After all, nothing much has happened for years except the construction of office buildings and uncomfortable old lecture halls.

Dear President BUHARI,

It's me writing from a 'dark' Nigeria :the country you preside over. I have a suggestion to make but I hear you are now far away in China. We have nothing in our treasury but you thought it wise to use the remnants left by GEJ to trot round the world seeking for loans, even from Liberia. Good to know, but...

How do you feel when you have no money or when virtually the prizes of everything you need as a human doubles within minutes and days without the slightest hope of being slashed soonest? The prize of Sachet water, noodles, transportation, fresh peppers, tomatoes and every form of grocery; imported or not. Nigerians can't live anymore. We just can't.
How can you give hope to the People who now have liquid frustration in their teacups in the mornings, plate of gloom at lunch plus a spoonful of tears and distress and heartbreak for dinner.

You fly away in your presidential jet scooping up some governors to go with you. From whose purse? You see, this is the problem with power and free money: greed and the need for luxury creeps in unconsciously. How can you be cruising while the citizens are gnashing their teeth. This is a bad thing. Are you a bad somebody?

Papa, it took you six good months to appoint ministers and we all hoped that you would pick angels to work with you but to our surprises, you picked people who are still apprentices in their portfolio. They almost don't know their job description. It also took you eight months to unveil a budget. You have less than 36 months to CHANGE Nigeria. You either bleach the country or you put us up for adoption by the tens of countries you have visited and the tens you'd visit in the future.

I understand that people feel differently these days. When one feels Chinese, the one flies to China to abort the urge, when one feels Cameroun, the one goes to Cameroun. This is exactly what you are doing. It is not totally bad. It might be worse than bad. Maybe.

I doubt that your frequent travels will benefit Nigerians immensely. This is because the problem of Nigeria is locally brewed. The solution shouldn't come from any other place but here. You know most of my friends in the USA don't believe that we play with malaria here. How we easily recover from it surprises them. I want you to stay here with us and let's figure this thing out. The countries you are visiting have enough problems of their own and they may suggest you sell us all for a slice of bread. You might be motivated to agree with them.

Did you notice that nobody is chanting change anymore. The few optimistic Nigerians are just using the last ounce of it and will soon run out of optimism. Take a look at the queues in the petrol stations, horrible, isn't it? Imagine someone waking up around 3:00AM just to make it to the Frontline and purchase some liters of the PMS for use. This is so bad.

"I will not disappoint Nigerians" is not the goodnews that we seek. We are tired of any whispering and tellings. We want you to show us. That's all. Bring your evidence along with future plans. Please be result oriented.

I'm writing this with a bleeding heart. The NYSC servants have not been paid the stipend called allowance. They are being owed even though they are investing one ripe year of their lives to serve our country. Is this how you pay them back?
Uncles and Aunties are being retrenched, some are resigning because companies are adjusting and cannot cope with these bushels of challenges you baptized us with. Your change policy has polluted everywhere. You have less than three years to lay some bricks. I believe in miracles but you may not work wonders with this your slow process. Take it a step at a time but please do not print posters, come 2019.

Dear Femi Adesina,

How are you? Wait, I'll answer that question for you : you are good, you feel great, and you are basking in the seat of power that came to you and affected your life.

I knew you from Sun newspapers and I enjoyed your column and that of your amazing colleagues like Amanze Obi and Funke Egbemode. By the way, while typing your name, the autocorrect of my phone spelt it thus; Femi a destination. I don't know what that means.

You have fallen the hands of many of us who believed that writers are gods who will call back the sense of mortal men. Immediately a slice of power was offered to you, things came crumbling down. You suddenly revolutionized into the Unimaginable. We Nigerians discovered that we were not on the same page with you anymore. We are disappointed.

When our General Buhari delayed in appointing his ministers, you informed us all that he would do that "in the fullness of time". We never understood fully that that was a hint to the perils that this administration would baptize us with. You unconsciously informed us that CHANGE - a scary word to most Nigerians, would come till God-knows-when.

Late last month, you shut us all up for complaining about constant blackouts. You 'pointed your fingers' and said we should blame pipeline vandals for that. We should therefore fight them if we wanted our bulbs to be lighted by the power stations of this country. Else, we better resought to our generators. Did you hear that the UK will have excess of electricity?

How fast did you join the bandwagon who would always rob on our faces, all of our sacrifices and expectations? How come a small sachet of power (10 naira worth) changed you into a scary Femi? What would have been our portion if a full loaf of 'power' or the equivalent of 500g of cowbell power was in your possession? You would have advised us to fill our pockets with gravel and walk into a nearby river and drown to death like Virginia Woolf.

You need to read 'You have a brain by Ben Carson' and review it with your cohorts in the state house. You should start a tutorial class for everyone that is an appointee up there. Let them all come with their slates and chalk to learn, even if it is in the evenings. The finance minister needs more knowledge of maths, the Nnpc man needs to study petroleum economics. Learning is a good thing, isn't it?

We need you to remember your days at the sun. We need you to have tangible and quality answers to whatever we ask. Put us through like a good teacher would. Don't behave like a 25cl of power can disrupt ones senses and make one to act up.

Please, Femi a destination, don't talk at us. You were once among US. You will surely return to join the class of US someday and maybe return to power in another 35 years or so like your master, the President.

A concerned educator,
Thank-God Eboh.

Dear Femi Adesina,

How are you? Wait, I'll answer that question for you : you are good, you feel great, and you are basking in the seat of power that came to you and affected your life.

I knew you from Sun newspapers and I enjoyed your column and that of your amazing colleagues like Amanze Obi and Funke Egbemode. By the way, while typing your name, the autocorrect of my phone spelt it thus; Femi a destination. I don't know what that means.

You have fallen the hands of many of us who believed that writers are gods who will call back the sense of mortal men. Immediately a slice of power was offered to you, things came crumbling down. You suddenly revolutionized into the Unimaginable. We Nigerians discovered that we were not on the same page with you anymore. We are disappointed.

I tried to read several of the comments here and I
didn't feel any different. The insults didn't even make it to
my brain for interpretation. They went unnoticed just like
you wouldn't feel or know the next person who stepped on
the footprints you left in a marketplace.
I don't hate Wizkid so to say but for a young chap like him
to utter such nonsense and still be applauded by certain humans is a shame to this very generation
that celebrates mediocrity and ill behaviors. I felt it was a
disrespect to womanhood for him to wrongly massacre the
vagina.
My story was one sided, but sometimes one needed to be
brutally talked to before such a person can acquire some
sense.
This is how those who hero-worship him would go about
acting like their mini-god, wizkid.
Our very society needs to flush out every trace of unhealthy
utterances, we have heard a lot and need to start repairing
or trashing certain odds.
Think about this, People.
I crave your indulgence.
