My country is indeed an interesting place! I read with consternation as a couple of women reportedly emerged on social media to announce to the world what their spouses do and whatnots. I believe the whole noise came off one of the events on the ongoing BBNaija show where one of the contestants reportedly washed the pants of his love interest. And the dying-to-be-distracted throng of Nigerian youths started another session of tantrum throwing on the internet over whether Neo (so is his name) should have or have not washed Vee's (I hope am correct) panties. And the stuff even made it to Premium Times and BBC . So much noise about nothing, if you ask me! This is not the first time this is happening. In a previous season of BBNaija, another housemate sparked controversies for washing the undies of his love interest. A lot of internet perfectionists came out with condemnations or adulations. Others came with nothing. I call it the dying-to-be-distracted throng. The mass of...
I had to swallow a good number of things before summoning the creative courage to write this. What was it that I swallowed, you may ask? Well, my pride! I had to swallow several doses of my pride before I could muster the impetus to say that I may have judged Jega too hastily. As you read this, I want you to please note the date stamp on it.

The cancellation of the NASS elections in Nigeria yesterday (Saturday, 2nd April 2011), irked me so much that I poured my venom, like folks of my generation, on Facebook and Twitter. At times, I wonder why it is called Facebook, when it is permanently asking: "What's on your mind?" It should rather be called Mindbook. Or better still, Complaintbook, for the numerous unsolicited complaints its commodious memory galaxy has been inundated with. Most recently, it has suddently become Prayerbook. Ask me why. ...
http://www.reception-wedding.com/wedding_rings.htm I have been refusing to blog on this for a long time for fear of being misunderstood. But the barrage of complaints for a number of affected friends has not abated. Let me use this story to buttress my point. Please note that the names have been changed not to point at any individual living or dead. Adaku has always been a reserved girl. Right through Secondary School and her early university days, she kept away from associating with certain kind of friends especially girls who do not think like she does and guys. Her upbringing has been under the strict and conservative instructions of her parents. But in the university she meets Haruna, a handsome, intelligent and promising young man who was a year ahead of her in the University. One thing leads to another and before long, they were dating steadily. Their relationship continued from her 3rd year in the university till seven years afterwards. Now, Adaku isn't very sure ...
