Condolences to a class act, by Donu Kogbara
Many years ago, I used to go to the Mayr Clinic, a spa that overlooks a beautiful lake in Carinthia, a mountainous part of Austria. It’s a perfect place in which to rest, eat sparingly, focus on your health, go for long walks, inhale fresh Alpine air and be pampered. The Mayr is a modest […]
A great day for Adetona
They categorically did not witness any rancour except the one manufactured in the imagination of the reporter.
Akingrogun Osoba, a veritable reporter, was askance. He did not witness anything of such. Two natural rulers spent about six hours at the reception and did not remember any misbehavior.

Unwise Daniels have come to judgment (1)
Several notable jurists and lawyers have spoken loud and clear about the virus of corruption spreading like HIV among judicial officers.

And this is the nation the dreamers, including Jonathan, expect will be top 20 in 2020!!! He got a No1 shirt in Toronto fit for jesters.
