The truth stands naked in the United Nations, by Owei Lakemfa
Africa shall have its day
The Nile that unites should not divide
A souless, leaderless world
Fellow Nigerians and governors they do not deserve
Look not upon me, because I am Black
Governance not based on personal relationships
When an antelope prised itself from a lion’s mouth
Standing up to be counted
America’s pointless battles against WHO
Death does not kill
The world will not be destroyed by fire or virus
Nigerians either surrender to soldiers or control them
Inhumanity in the season of human tragedies
Come and I will increase your heavy burden

If today, there are no leopards left in that part, it is not because […]
Is it peace in Afghanistan, oh Donald, son of Trump?
By Owei Lakemfa THE Afghanistan government of President Ashraf Ghani had to be pulled by the ears and dragged to the peace-implementation table where its American masters are seated with their old adversaries, the Taliban rebels. The complaint of the Afghan government and why it opposed the peace deal for the country was because it […]
Eyinnaya Abaribe: No Nigerian should kneel for anybody
By Owei Lakemfa IN a land sycophancy struts. A clime truth is forced to walk on its head. Terrestrial men and women say yes to power.
