"Sir, I want to walk away from my marriage now before something tragic happens. I had wanted to quit February 2021 but people mounted pressure on me to stay back. They said I should try and pray more saying the situation was not beyond remedy. I agreed not because I hope that anything positive would ensue but just to satisfy those who intervened. More so I didn’t want to portray myself as being rigid or as having a hidden plan for my action. Now it is one year after but the situation has rather gone from bad to worse. Because…
The military conflict between Ukraine and Russia will enter its sixth day on March 1. The war has created new divisions and confrontations on a global scale. It also makes the situation of the battlefield, the European and even the global situation more complicated and uncertain. But we must note that under current circumstances, the door for a peaceful settlement of the Ukrainian issue is not completely closed. A Ukrainian delegation reportedly arrived in Belarus on Monday for negotiations with Russia, and the talk took place in the afternoon of the same day. Although both parties and the outside world…
The emotional and sentimental dishonesty of those who see Russia and Vladimir Putin as the aggressor is just amazing. The act is not only gratuitous, it is preposterous. It is nauseating. It is incredibly absurd. These emotionally and sentimentally dishonest sympathizers of the West believe, hook, line and sinker, all the garbage that the West is serving on this matter without proper understanding of History of invasions of Russia by others throughout its history. They lap up the demonization of a gentleman, a patriot and a reliable defender of his people in Vladimir Putin. They disregarded the efforts of Putin…
Chances are that, when you think of the late former Oyo State Governor, Abiola Ajimobi, your mind also recalls the 2017 “constituted authority” episode. As it happened, he addressed the students of the Ladoke Akintola University of Technology who were protesting the extended closedown of their school. Unwilling to condone their belligerence, Ajimobi launched into a tirade. After reminding them he was not responsible for shutting down their school for eight months, he scolded those student-protesters for not respecting “constituted authority.” Although the flared tempers that heated up that encounter eventually simmered, Ajimobi would go on to wear the tag…

Putin and the apocalypse - Dina Khapaeva

At the end of last year, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced that Russia had completed final testing of an “invincible” new hypersonic nuclear-capable missile, the “Avangard,” calling it “the best New Year gift” for his country. With Putin seeming to up the ante on his increasingly frequent doomsday rhetoric, should the world be bracing itself for a nuclear conflict? In the last year, Putin has spoken about a “nuclear apocalypse” more than any Western leader has over the last decade, causing some to speculate that he may be threatening NATO and the United States. But Putin has blamed the risk…
The spat between the Emir of Kano, Aminu Ado Bayero and Air Peace, one of Nigeria’s major airlines, has once again, among other issues, brought on the front burner the twin issues of delay and cancellation of scheduled flights. More fundamentally, it has also peered searchlight into and serves as a throwback to the awesome powers enjoyed by Nigerian, African traditional monarchies, provoking in its wake a discourse of the relevance of the Nigerian monarchy. Embedded into it is the need to look at the African big man syndrome, otherwise known as the BMS. In it, the bigman, whether in…
Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses ~ 1Timothy 6:12. Introduction: There is an ongoing battle in the world today. It is real, fierce and total in the realm of the spirit. It is a battle between the forces of good, personified and championed by our Lord Jesus Christ, versus the forces of evil, personified by Satan and his minions. Indeed, anyone who is mature and sensitive in the spiritual universe will be quite familiar with this reality. Of a truth, every…
Parents make sacrifices for their children. They go through ordeals so their children will not have to go through them. Not so with Christ. He goes through ordeals because He wants us to also go through them and follow His examples. Accordingly, Jesus denied Himself. Then He says: “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself.” (Matthew 16:24). Jesus denied His exalted throne of glory in heaven to come down to earth as a menial servant of men. The King of glory: “made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the…

How the Ukraine crisis ends - Henry Kissinger

Pubic discussion on Ukraine is all about confrontation. But do we know where we are going? In my life, I have seen four wars begun with great enthusiasm and public support, all of which we did not know how to end and from three of which we withdrew unilaterally. The test of policy is how it ends, not how it begins. Far too often the Ukrainian issue is posed as a showdown: whether Ukraine joins the East or the West. But if Ukraine is to survive and thrive, it must not be either side’s outpost against the other – it…
