No! Abati no!!
No! Abati no!! By Ogbonna Nwuke Monday, I was glued to my TV set. Somehow, I have since formed the nasty habit of watching the Morning Show. I guess my attachment to the show has been borne more out of curiosity. Reuben Abati, one of…
Before I am misunderstood
Ordinarily I would not have bothered to offer an explanation. It is not that I am a man who takes an ego trip. Before I am misunderstood, that is not who I am. Talking has not been one of my best attributes but writing…
Enough of the nonsense
Dimkpa, son of Alikor, thanks for drawing my attention to Tony Okocha’s comment. I haven’t had time in a while to savour such needless thrash, not to talk of nursing thoughts of responding to the usual invectives thrown at us by halfwits who probably believe…
