Citizens’ prayer By Olatunji Ololade

jesus-statue-690x450
Creator, we have come forth, when heaven lies at the tick of a bomb, when hell blazes in the spoken word. We come for hope and truth’s pure ray. We come to wish our strife away. Life was not what we prayed for under Goodluck Ebele Jonathan – it got worse every hour. It is still not we prayed for under Muhammadu Buhari, every second, it gets harder.
Jonathan, the boy who had no shoes managed to snatch our dog-eared shoes from our feet. That self-confessed son of a poor fisherman came to snatch the few fingerlings we had in our nets. When we protested, he dished us tadpoles to eat and called it the rarest kind of nutritious fish. The one we hoped would accord us a breath of fresh air emerged to blow as another clean breath of fresh stench.

The Enemies Within By Muiywa Adetiba

MILITANTS-buhari-300x182A manufacturing company did the unusual when it sent emails to its staff to tell them that the enemy of the company had been captured. Those who were interested in its identity should proceed to the conference room. Those who went found a life sized coffin. Inside it was a big mirror. The message was not lost on the staff.

The Beauty of Corruption By Dr. Ugoji Egbujo

Corruption-Beautiful
Nigeria, where everybody is God-fearing. You steal enough, you are beyond reproach. Because you will constitute governments. And have public officials validating not only your innocence but even your righteousness. Aren’t the gods what they are because they make things happen? So you deserve worship. But just in case you get on the wrong side of things and they come for you, you can mess up the investigation. You know, introduce shabbiness into the habitually sloppy process with the injection of cash.

Happy Family Day By Francis Ewherido

Tomorrow, the world celebrates the World Family Day, a day set aside by the United Nations to draw attention to the importance of the family. The day was also declared in response to changing social and economic structures which have affected and still affect the structure and stability of families in Africa and other parts of the world. After God, the family comes next. It is good to have a successful career, hang out with the guys/girls, but nothing comes near the family. Great wealth without great children to manage it after your retirement/demise often becomes a term activity.
