A Nation Bleeding Quietly: The Insecurity Crisis Consuming Nigeria — and How It Has Finally Come for the Southwest There is a particular kind of pain that comes with watching a country you love unravel — slowly at first, then all at once. For too many Nigerians, that pain is no longer abstract. It lives in the empty desks of schoolchildren who never came home. It echoes in the wails of mothers who buried their kings. It stares back from the hollow eyes of communities abandoned by the very government sworn to protect them. Nigeria is bleeding. And it has been bleeding for far too long. The Numbers That Should Shame Every Leader Let us begin with the cold, unfeeling statistics — because sometimes, numbers are the only language power listens to. According to the International Society for Civil Liberties and Rule of Law, terrorists operating in Nigeria killed or abducted 1,402 people between just January 1 and April 6, 2026 alone.  (TheCable) One thousand, four hundred and two human be...

Fela: The Voice of the Streets

Image
Fela Kuti, the lion with a fiery song, A fearless man who stood so strong. With saxophone and beating drum, He made the voice of Africa come. He sang for those without a name, Against corruption, greed, and shame. His music thundered through the night, Calling the poor to rise and fight. From Lagos streets his message spread, Truth and freedom in every thread. Afrobeat danced within his veins, Like pouring fire through heavy chains. The rulers feared his fearless sound, For every word shook sacred ground. Yet Fela stood, both bold and free, A rebel for humanity. His shrine became a place of light, Where minds awoke to truth and right. Though storms arose and pain was near, He never bowed his head to fear. O Fela, spirit of the brave, Your music lives beyond the grave. In every drum, in every cry, Your voice still rises to the sky. Nigeria remembers still, The man whose songs could shake a hill. A patriot with heart of flame, And history shall praise your name.

Colonised Minds

Image
Starting from the Berlin Conference, Where the fate of all African lands Was drawn with no single African man in sight. They wrote our destinies without us knowing. They claimed to own the lands, the same lands our ancestors toiled and lived upon. They claimed to have brought God into our lands While pursuing our gold earnestly, preaching the kingdom of Heaven While chasing the things of the world, leaving Africa to munch on the remnants. The African way of living is referred to as uncivilized. The attire is regarded as awkward, and the traditional shrine is deemed unbefitting. It wasn’t mere acts of bias anymore. It became a total reconstruction of human civilization. There is now little about us that wasn’t shaped by our former colonizers. They altered our way of living, believing their language superior, as though ours could never tell stories of greatness. We may think we are free from the past, but no, we are not. Because they have also colonized our minds. We still sp...
