POEM - WHAT WOULD NIGERIANS DO?

Image
What will Nigerians do? When every day begins with a thousand of worries  Yet the streets hums with laughter _ Rising every day even when it feels like lifting stones. What will Nigerians do? When the leaders barter our dreams for their ambition  Corruption stands as the watch word of our leaders  And still - we dream of a country that listens. What will Nigerians do? When economy bites and survival becomes a full time job Prices towering like a skyscraper  Yet we try to survive even when it is no longer surviving. What will Nigerians do? When injustice walks freely in daylight  Silence becomes the mother tongue of the poor  We refuse to bow, so we rise again in protest, in unity and in defiance. What will the youths do? When they find themselves stuck between dreams and reality? Unsure! Whether to remain at home or japa   Praying our wings or our roots will not betray us. What will Nigerians do? When faith becomes our last currency of cour...

A Time In History: The Nok Civilization

Image
THE NOK CIVILIZATION The Nok Civilization is one of the earliest known cultures in Nigeria and West Africa. It existed a very long time ago, around 1000 BC to 300 AD, in what is today's Northern Nigeria. The people of Nok were known for their intelligence, creativity, and unique way of life. Even though they lived thousands of years ago, their achievements still surprise historians today. One of the most outstanding things about the Nok people was their terracotta sculpture-clay figures that they're made by hand and then baked to make them strong. The sculptures were very detailed and beautiful. These artworks are some of the oldest in Africa and prove that the Nok people had advanced artistic skills. The Nok people, who lived in organized communities, were farmers who grew crops like millet and sorghum. They kept animals such as goats and cattle. Their farming skills helped them survive and build a stable society. Archaeologists also discovered that the Nok people ...

Kebbi Schoolgirls Freed After Harrowing Ordeal: Questions Langer Over Release Details Abuja, Nigeria — In a mix of relief and controversy, the 24 schoolgirls abducted from Government Girls Comprehensive Secondary School in Maga, Kebbi State, on November 17, 2025, were released on November 26. The Federal Government hailed the operation as a "successful rescue," but whispers of a possible negotiation with the kidnappers have sparked debate. The girls, taken in a brazen attack that shook the nation, were returned to their families in good health, with authorities assuring they suffered no sexual abuse. The operation, directed by President Bola Tinubu and coordinated by Minister of State for Defence Bello Matawalle, involved the Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA) and the Department of State Services (DSS). However, a leaked video suggests the release might have involved a "peace deal" with the bandits, casting doubt on the government’s narrativ...

The Rwandan Genocide of 1994.

Image
THE RWANDAN GENOCIDE OF 1994 The Rwandan Genocide of 1994 remains one of the darkest moments in African and world history. In just one hundred days, nearly 800,000 people, mainly Tutsis and some moderate Hutus, were killed. The roots of this tragedy stretched back to the colonial era when Belgium divided the population into Hutus and Tutsis and favoured the Tutsi minority with political and social privileges. Even after independence, tension and resentment continued, and political leaders used these divisions to maintain power, instead of promoting unity and healing. By the early 1990s, Rwanda was unstable. Economic challenges and political disagreements grew worse, while radio broadcasts spread hateful propaganda that described Tutsis as enemies. Everything changed on April 6th, 1994, when the president’s plane was shot down. This event triggered a violent wave of killings across the country. Militias and ordinary citizens were encouraged to attack their neighbours based ...
