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…

Results! – Adewale Sobowale
I love people who are reflective. People who are reflective don’t act impulsively. Rather, they think of the consequences of their actions before embarking on them! Nigerians have generally voted in Mr Buhari for another four years. Whether or not the election was as a result of deep thought does not matter now. We have…
We’ll Chase You! – Adewale Sobowale
So you think you can just die like that. Who gave you permission to transform to eternity? The news that Sergei Mavrodi has died will give many people mixed feelings. Mavrodi was the founder of the ponzi scheme called M.M.M. A ponzi scheme is a fraudulent scheme where early investors are paid with the money…
…Takes A Bastard… – Adewale Sobowale
At the rate the Yoruba people are going, the number of bastards will eventually be much more than those born genuinely! Well, should ‘genuinely’ even be the right word? Why? So many proponents of Oduduwa or Odua or Yoruba or, even, Lamurudu Republic are ‘short fused’ (remember that phrase?) when others differ from their opinion….
Court! – Adewale Sobowale

While praising the justice system for doing the needful, I would have thought it better for justice to have some comical effects. For instance, if she couldn’t serve as petroleum minister, why not as a gas…
