 I've never felt at home in Nigeria nor felt at home for years. Guess this world or Nigeria is just not my home.

Blood Law and the Nigerian Police

Image
Many a Nigerian have never come across nor heard about the concept of 'blood law', or what it means. Blood law also known as blood revenge refers to the custom in many societies where the responsibility for the death or murder of a person falls on his/her close relatives and must be carried out to restore and create balance. It's might not be necessitated by anger or revenge but a need for balance and order, because as many know and believe life is sacred and only a life can atone for another life so as to create balance in nature. In current times, the Nigerian police has become a pain in the flesh of Nigerians, its corrupt and devious personnels mainly preoccupy themselves with extorting, maiming, killing and generally terrorizing Nigerians, without anything being done or said by the police authorities nor the Nigerian government. On a ranking of the most hated Nigerian public institutions, the Nigerian police definitely will come tops, showing the hatred and aver...

A tale of suicide and a failed country

Image
Suicide and death have become the solace of many a Nigerian, citizens battered, depressed and frustrated have now reached a point where death and rest from the failures of the country and it's system have become their only respite.

I have never had any hope in Nigeria, knowing the calibre of it's citizens and leaders.  I'm yet to travel outside the country but from those that have, when one travels outside Nigeria, your disgust for th...

An Atlas is born.

Being born a Nigerian is hard, gut wrenching and almost being ill prepared for life, which many Nigerians will accept as the truth and nothing more. Foreigners and those in the Western world hardly know the extent of what we go through, especially the ordinary and common Nigerians. Life in Nigeria is truly short, nasty and brutish.       I was born in a family that could be said to be middle class, my father a government worker, my mother a business woman, I was the second child of the family. Lower/primary school was pretty much uneventful, was used to coming top of my class, receiving awards, secondary school/middle and high school too were uneventful, though I was just an average student by then except in few subjects  I was still coming tops in. Finished and got admitted into one of the first and foremost universities in Nigeria, into a course I didn't apply for or had heard about before then, but which I and my family were extremely happy for, knowing the s...
