A descent into a deep frenzy Friday night Where youths bury their misery in the light Carried in the wings of the mighty Dionysus They entertain all emotions, including lapsus Flowing freely – birds carried by Dionysian music Clasping each other like on a bottle of an Aphrodisiac tonic For the hope they once had vanished like a water vapour When the cabals beat the country to a state of stupor Leaving...
Who would have believed? That such a wonderful day Will pass under our nose Without great fanfare? How can we ignore you? Our World Book Day A successful love story Of the quill and the papyrus But for a tiny crowned virus Who, in Wuhan, started a coup Initially, like a hide and seek Before sending us into our holes But I must gently doff my cap For whoever...
Voilà qu’on était alors à la fin de l’année 2019 Et, les pauvres humains se disaient très forts Ayant selon eux inventé de grands appareils Et, toutes sortes d’armes de guerre et de grands avions Capables de les transporter aisément sur la lune Ils se disaient même presque prêts à aller sur Mars Et, des nations se mesureraient sur des frivolités Certains de la capacité de leurs armes nucléaires Et, les uns...
Just think about this: You have heard that The Chinese plan to invade you with COVID-19-contaminated face masks. Is that not creepy? So, let’s assume it is true. But how can China do that? If it takes up to 10 days to send a cargo of medical equipment to the US, how long will it take to send it to Nigeria? Let’s say 15 days. And we have not talked about the...

Usually in Igboland and many other parts of Nigeria, there are two marriage celebrations: the traditional marriage and the Christian marriage (wedding). I have argued on several occasions about the superfluousness of these unnecessary and wasteful multiplications. The use of the so-called canonical form is required to validate a Christian marriage. A priest or a deacon (or even a lay person as the case may be), being present, asks a man and...
Introduction Theology as a science was made possible through the efforts of different theologians who sacrificed their time to put into writing our relationship with God. They are numerous and from different continents. Even though they were inspired by the word of God, they were also influenced by their different cultural backgrounds. Almost all civilizations played one important role in this quest, except for a few who did play little or no...
What this is not: It is not the history of Catholicism nor is it a trial of history of civilization. It is not even an evaluation of Nigerian Catholicism, etc. It is, simply, a personal historical-social analysis of why we, as African Catholics in general and Nigerian Catholics in particular, continue to romance certain circles in the Catholic Church instead of joining the Francis Effect that the Church is experiencing presently. Christianity...
