Man’s Inhumanity To Man!
The first time I saw a human skeleton other than in the books was in the Biology Laboratory of our school, which I even later found out that it was made of plastic; it did not feel scary anymore. I studied and knew how to draw and label it off hand; I made a lot of coins from my school […]

Who Did It To You?
Growing up with my parents was a wonderful experience. My mum being a nurse and my dad an evangelist. We had maids live with us all through my primary school days because my dad was almost always away for a crusade, I could see him once or twice a week, my mum was always on shifts and came back exhausted.

Ethnic Animosity in Nigeria: A choice to Progress as Friends or Perish as Foes
The level of acrimony between the youths of some ethnic groups in Nigeria is getting out of hand. Sometimes you wonder if they were taught from birth to hate. Methinks it is more natural to love than to hate. I grew up in Makurdi and my childhood friends in my neighbourhood were Igbos, Igalas, Efik etc, but our ethnic differences […]

On MUTA and MUTUK; Tim Nyor
Nobody, I believe, is against these two organisations, what they stand for, and their activities. What is being faulted is the humongous prodigality, monstrous improvidence and the titanic squandering of taxpayers money associated with the annual jamboree in America. If Tivday, in Tivland, is accorded the same regard as its equivalent in the US, not only will our monies be […]

Don’t Live For Only You; I Was Once A Corper in Benue
This is probably the first journey where I’m not the first to sleep inside the vehicle… Journeys give us time to reminisce. While I proceeded to the park, on a motorcycle, I felt the urge to put my two hands up in the air and do the peace sign with my fingers…but I couldn’t, both hands were holding luggage. As […]

Reputation of Benue People Outside Benue State
I have always complained about the reputation of Benue people outside of Benue. In 2015, when I was going for my internship with Nigerian Communications Commission in Abuja, I was warned not to hastily introduce myself as Tiv, as that would likely instigate some bad blood for me before I properly settle. Sadly, I got to NCC and disregarded […]

NKST Church: Is It Really Indigenous?
I knew the NKST church to be a Tiv church but it seemed my knowledge was limited when I discovered the NKST Church in Abeokuta and not just that it was located there but was dominated by the Yoruba. I was propelled to upgrade my knowledge of this church. You may think I am promoting a church, so let me […]
