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.

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…

However, a lot of horse trading must have taken place before Omisore’s declaration. When we…
We Want Money! – Adewale Sobowale
Anytime I hear the NLC call out workers to go on strike for wage increase, I always laugh. I tend to resort to laughter because it’s evident that the Labour leaders have learnt nothing so they couldn’t have forgotten anything. You don’t give what you don’t have! There have been at least a couple of…
Ao M’erin Joba! – Adewale Sobowale

But was the Buhari administration well positioned to bail out the Nigerian people? Well, the military used its usual force of repression to cow…
