African Complicity in the Slave Trades and Its Lingering Effects: By Prof Joseph C. A. Agbakoba
It is important to note that the locally brewed gin from the raffia palm juice, mostly known by such names as kaikai or ekpeteshi, did not predate the colonial era but rather arose out of scarcity of hot drinks during the Great Depression following which the importation of alcoholic beverages declined. In 1927, for instance, the Protectorate of Southern Nigeria imported 548,128 gallons of gin
Let’s Talk About Rape: By Mazi Nnamdi Nwigwe
The media is agog once again with incredible reports of the horrific and rapacious acts of men who should be living in the caves and wild forests.
Rape is the talking point now even though this is not the first time. Remember the sad story of the misguided and naive daughter of a retired army officer who was brutally raped and murdered by heartless business prospects who ensnared her to her doom. The media shouted and howled; the perpetrators were quickly apprehended, but the matter was soon forgotten. Can any of our (investigative) journalists tell us the status of the trial of those beasts long after they had been arrested and charged to court? Your guess is as good as mine!

He held me by the hand and pulled me back with, ‘Where you think say you dey go?’

African Complicity in the Slave Trades and Its Lingering Effects: By Prof Joseph C. A. Agbakoba
The responsibility to nurture the population by the State is the basis of the numerous rights that people could claim in the State and their demands on the State.
The ideology that informed the [African] State and its policies included the culti¬vation of population growth by the integration of immigrants, war captives, and so on, on the grounds that “people shield the king or the community as the case may be”. In other words, more people meant more security and prosperity in all spheres – economic, military, and so on.
How Blacks Can End Racism & Prejudice
There is something fundamentally wrong with the current approach of the Black Lives Matter movement. It is marching the streets of the US and Europe asking the perpetrators and beneficiaries of racism to willingly give up their privileges. It is pressing for legislation and “reforms” to change human attitudes. Both are not likely to happen, however well-intentioned. It is like taking painkillers in the hope of treating a brain tumor.
Nigeria police farce: who did this to us?
This is not an undercover report by BBC. This is an open cover report by a Nigerian citizen in distress. Recently, my WhatsApp number was hacked into by cyber criminals who went on to use my ID to solicit funds for a childish Ponzi scheme from my chat groups. Luckily, no one was fooled.
Racial spring in America
Spring is a season of transition. It brings forth the first flicker of warmth, after the chills of a frigid Winter. It is a time when fresh flowers bloom and new leaves sprout. It is a period when strong ice melts and frozen earth thaws. Days become longer and nights, shorter.
