I cannot trace back to the roots of the popular Nigerian adage that says “Police is your Friend”. I am sure it has been around for quite long now. I have seen the sign Post in some few Nigerian Movies (that I no longer watch except recommended), but I don’t remember seeing it in person as I seldom make visits to Police Outpost. The experiences I have had by way of being a witness to some scenarios involving the Nigerian Police and ordinary civilians have left me wondering whether police is actually your friend. The recent experience I had happened earlier this week and I think I want to sue some policemen. Solomon Gyang , Martins Obla & Mapis Mathias Mandong , advise me appropriately, please. I accompanied a friend to receive some money from a Nigerian Police Outpost, which they helped him collect by way of mediation from a contract defaulter. After waiting for a few minutes, the officer in-charge arrived and walked into his office. He called out to my frie

Recently, Justin Trudeau was in the province of Quebec for a  town-hall  meeting with citizens. He has been holding townhalls across Canada. An Anglophone Quebecois woman asked him a question in English, he responded in French saying he preferred to respond in the official language of the province. Although French is the language of Quebec, there is an Anglophone minority in that province. English and French being the two official languages of Canada, the Anglophone minority woman deserved to have her question answered in English. The national outrage was swift and major. The Prime Minister was condemned everywhere. Such was the intensity of the nationwide condemnations of the Prime Minister that I almost exclaimed Yorunigerianly: “ki ni Trudeau gbe ki ni won ju gan sef?” Why were Canadians so aghast? It was said that the Prime Minister had disrespected a citizen. And by disrespecting a citizen, he had disrespected his office. Trudeau has since been writing profuse letters of

I’d love to welcome you the New Year. This year unlike previous years, will experience great leaps in the manifestations of scientific and technological advancements which will also affect the general media in every way. Therefore, I am excited to bring varied thought before you as we explore how these moves affect our faith in 2017 and beyond. But before then I’d love to answer a question that I have been asked over and over again as a result of previous topics discussed. I must re-echo that I am not against the general or social media; but have been keen to unveil its downsides and how that is affecting our generation. That’s has inspired a lot of issues we have looked at. Question: "Should a Christian use social networking tools (Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, blogs, etc.)?" This answer is that which was provided by GotQuestion, a bible based online organization providing answers to hard questions. Hundreds of millions of people are running toward social networki
