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

Alli + 40 Thieves – Adewale Sobowale
Personally, I think the illegal killing of any Nigerian is a slap on the face of all Nigerians. In fact, it is a sad show of what could befall ANY Nigerian at any point in time. It is even sadder that a government agency had to supervise the murder of Nigerians. I’m referring to the…
Unmajestic Royalties! – Adewale Sobowale

If not for the courts, the former emir would have remained exiled in a state over which the dethroning governor has no authority. I remember putting up a post then concerning what use the traditional…
Bareface! – Adewale Sobowale
I learn an old school in Lagos, Reagan Memorial Baptist, has been renamed. Who else is deserving of that honour than a female senator whose qualification for being in the senate since 2011 is basically due to the fact that she happens to be the wife of the ruling party, APC’s chief carpetbagger. For good…

Have you been condemned? – Adewale Sobowale
So, you’re feeling bad because people have rejected you. I’m so sorry for you! Are they your God? You see, even if the courts of the earth have condemned you and He has not, just relax. Once there’s life, there’s hope. I remember a story written by J.F. Odunjo, I think. There’s this man who…
