Nigeria and the Ethnic Bias
I love Nigeria. Her diversity, composition, cultures and spirit. Yes, her spirit.

Even Great Men Struggle
Sometimes I wonder how Elijah got to the point of telling God he wanted to die – the point where he felt he was no better than his fathers. He must have felt helpless. That moment of his life was no doubt an unbelievable contradiction. Here was a man who held a whole nation to […]
