      You have been sick for a while, in and out, in and out. Something your parents said they weren’t sure if you were coming or going. You just lay on the right side of your body, watching things get by. Sometimes, the room will close up on you, like everything is crashing on your head.   Then. You will hear laughter and chatter in the walls. Like a playground of tiny tiny torments.   You get so weak that you no longer go to the hospital. The doctor visits. And it was on one of his visits that he said you needed grace to stay alive. He was too irritated. With you. With your parents. With himself. With this thumping in your head that never recedes. You will shout. You will scream. You will wobble to the walls and bang with your closed fist.   Then. You will curl up on the bed and sing, holding your bony knees to your chest. Sometimes, you sing. Your singing makes the laughter and chatter in the walls get louder. You have always heard it, bu...

  Set up is a means of framing someone by putting up blame on this individual based on the severity or level of abhorrence of the crime committed. This act is so inhumane, disheartening and depression-oriented. In as much as the culprit(s) find no faults in this act, we can liken this to the existing laws against same-sex marriage in the country. There is no doubt that of recent times, the rate of set up in the GAY COMMUNITY has increased tremendously. A lot of factors are considered to be responsible for this inhumane act. However, in this context, we shall discuss possible factors and correctional approach with which the incremental curve of set up rate could be flattened. To achieve a set up free community in the country, we need to observe the following: ACTIVE PARTICIPATION IN POLITICS : Yes, someone might ask, what does politics have to do with set-up? Well, I must tell you that laws guiding this nation were enacted by those in politics/power. The GAY COMMUNITY members should...

Sam Maduka, CEO of Peace Mass Transit recently bought a large area of land in Ekwegbe, Nsukka area. The land is so large that it can be stated to be at least half the size of Nsukka campus of the University of Nigeria or even at the same size. The land according to a person close to me is so large that if you are told to use catapult to reach its limit you cannot do it. This is the beauty of capitalism, and the tragedy as well; a man is buying a land big enough to house a village and some persons cannot boast of a land to call their own. It is laudable that Chief Maduka intends to build an entrepreneurial university on the land, the first of its kind in Nigeria. However, what happened to a free trade zone or an industrial estate or a tech hub or an auto producing estate? All these things are not left for the government alone. And do not come and tell me I should not tell a man how to spend his money? Entrepreneurial university is good, but then what about the real actions and exp...
