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…

Our Kabioosi Presidency by Adewale Sobowale

That’s because heads of government there neither take steps to perpetuate themselves in power nor seek to play on the people’s intelligence, at least in most cases….
Dead Has Gone! – Adewale Sobowale
I’m always fascinated at the fervour with which we prepare for funerals. So many people get into debts to bury their dead. A Yoruba saying goes that if a fraction of the care and money spent on funerals is spent on the invalid, most people will not be dying unnecessary deaths. And that’s true! The…
Odun Lo De! – Adewale Sobowale
The market places are agog. No seller can honestly say they don’t have would-be buyers. It’s only the actual buyers that may not be forth coming. Even the chicken processors are in good business. See, the Id’el fitri is a chicken celebration. Chicken hawkers are busy, layers, broilers, etc. The chickens themselves are putting up…
