Control: The EP by Becky Olotu (Review)

The collection of songs by this talented young lady is surely one of the better works I have heard from by an upcoming artist in Nigeria. The single Shekere is the one that stands out for me and has gotten some great reviews on social media. We hope to hear more from her in the coming months. Credit also has to go to the producer, Maffy Beats for the song, great collaboration from the two talented young Nigerians!

Life in Danger

When I settled that I would write about water, the first thought that came to my mind was the lyrics of Fela's hit song; ' If you fight am unless say you wan die! water... e no get enemy' it goes on about the near omnipotence of the earth's most prominent substance, its characteristic neutrality and our non-negotiable dependence on it. The human body contains up to 70 percent water. According to HH Mitchell, Journal of Biological Chemistry , Our brain and heart comprise 73 percent water, while our lungs are around 83 percent water. The skin has up to 64 percent water, muscles and kidneys are 79 percent, while our least watery parts, bones comprise 31 percent water. {usgs.gov} . If I may put it in this context, you are about 20 percent shy of being as much 'water' as a watermelon. The health benefits of drinking enough water are numerous, from improved organ functionality to better skin and even improved mental health. Studies have shown that drinking at least ...

Who I Am

The more things change, the more the stay the same. This is the story of the world we live in today as we seem to be stagnated in a constant flux between the hopeful possibility of a better, more peaceful, healthier future and a cataclysmic devolution into irreversible anarchy. The handwritings are on the walls and pretty much everywhere else you look. Global Warming is ravaging the earth - no thanks to our collective irresponsibility. Global warfare on another note has spiralled out of control, with the institutions of state facing new kinds of enemies - the faceless kinds who are happy enough to just spread the gospel of fear. Global population is on an uncontrollable rise and we all keep saying the same things, attributing our actions and inactions to the will of the almighty. It all has to be part of THE PLAN. We pretend that the world is some kind of fictional place where all our actions have pre determined consequences of which we need not take responsibility and when they turn ...

How to Sell Bullshit

  Let us gather the bullshit. I mean all the bullshit in the street. If you live in one of the less trespassed areas in Nigeria then perhaps this article is arguably further away from home for you than for many others but feel free to participate, there is enough bullshit to go round. One of the most provable truths of man’s existence is that at the heart of every problem lies a practical attainable solution which more often than not represents opportunity. Sometimes it is merely a small matter of finding the compromise and the willingness to consider flipping the script. The Nomadic Cattle farmers popularly known as ‘Fulani Herdsmen’ for the longest time imaginable (at least since the amalgamation, which is when we started keeping score), have been the poster boys of controversy relating to grazing control. Some of the more severe issues involve the damaging of crops. While that is a slightly more complex problem to solve, there is also the problem of pollution which is a l...
