By Tochukwu Ezukanma | Lagos, Nigeria | October 8, 2018 – I am a preacher without a pulpit. As such, I hardly have the opportunity to preach in a church.

By Tochukwu Ezukanma | Lagos, Nigeria | July 20, 2018- It seemed inconceivable that the President of France will visit the citadel of Afro Beat iconoclasm and activism, the New Afrikan Shrine.

Araba!, meaning secession. The clamorous secessionists were led by a 28 year old army major, Murtala Mohammed. Murtala Mohammed evidently was made giddy by an inebriating mix of […]
