BAM BAM L’AYO! WE’RE OVERFED!! – Adewale Sobowale
When I was a kid, I can still remember situations when I refused to eat. It normally happened when I was annoyed. Whenever that happened, my mother wouldn’t utter a word. She would have her meal, and for what I then thought was an overkill, she would begin singing, Bamubamu la yoAwa o mo p’ebiNpo’mo…

Lords checkmate Rwanda plan!
The U.K.’s Upper House has passed five amendments on the Rwanda bill. If the amendments are ratified, it would make it harder for the lower house to declare Rwanda a “safe” country. It would therefore require the government to comply with domestic and in international laws. The amendments would also severely affect the main purpose…

Trump’s claims of a migrant crime wave are not supported by national data
When Donald Trump speaks at the southern border in Texas on Thursday, you can expect to hear him talk about “migrant crime,” a category he has coined and defined as a terrifying binge of criminal activity committed by undocumented immigrants spreading across the country. “You know, in New York, what’s happening with crime is it’s…

When I was a kid, I can still remember situations when for one reason or the other, I refused to eat. It normally happened when I was annoyed. Whenever that happened, my mother wouldn’t utter any word. She would go have her own meal and for what I then thought was an overkill, she would…
An acquiescent people! – Adewale Sobowale
Our people in Nigeria seem to have resigned to fate. I say this with a lot of distaste. Distaste because I just feel that under no circumstances, must a dislike for evil deeds be stopped. But our people seem to have lost their voices. I’m referring specifically to the recent kidnap of over 200 pupils…
Many colours, one light! – Adewale Sobowale
I’ve long become convinced that human beings – no matter their pigmentation, economic situation, ability or otherwise, height or weight, are either good or bad!

6 = <0.5 – Adewale Sobowale
I’m not a mathematician, but I know that the six Yoruba state governors, in the actual sense, are really less than half of a whole number. We all know the federal government is of little use to the common man. I stand to be corrected, we’ve never had it so bad at the center. Even…
Ogede Nbaje! – Adewale Sobowale
So, killings are now the order of the day in Nigeria. I really wonder how we got to this state of things in Nigerian society. In the Nigeria of my childhood, criminality was scorned. There’s no society that’s crime-free, but the frequency of crimes in Nigeria is alarming. Those involving human lives are simply pathetic….
