'On Sanusi, the Opposition and Fifth Columnists' - By Reno Omokri

Image
A rticle written by Reno Omokri, Special Assistant to President Jonathan on New Media. Find below The recent suspension of the erstwhile Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria has ignited a debate on Social Media and as has become typical with many pundits, the discourse has been dominated by sentiments rather than facts. As Sanusi has indicated that he will be challenging his suspension in court, I will not make this piece about him and recent events surrounding him. Yes, I will cite some examples of double standards as regards the approach taken by some analysts, but in my view, the matter is now best left to the courts.

Must read! Chimamanda Adichie writes on the anti-gay law

Image
Article written by award winning writer Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie titled 'Why can’t he just be like everyone else?'  Find it below... I will call him Sochukwuma. A thin, smiling boy who liked to play with us girls at the university primary school in Nsukka. We were young. We knew he was different, we said, ‘he’s not like the other boys.’ But his was a benign and unquestioned difference; it was simply what it was. We did not have a name for him. We did not know the word ‘gay.’ He was Sochukwuma and he was friendly and he played oga so well that his side always won. In secondary school, some boys in his class tried to throw Sochukwuma off a second floor balcony. They were strapping teenagers who had learned to notice, and fear, difference. They had a name for him. Homo. They mocked him because his hips swayed when he walked and his hands fluttered when he spoke. He brushed away their taunts, silently, sometimes grinning an uncomfortable grin. He must ha

Image
  Colombian singer Shakira has revealed she had asked permission from her footballer partner Gerard Piqué before filming a racy music video with pop star Rihanna which has been recently blasted for “ promoting lesbianism .” In an interview with U.S. radio presenter Ryan Seacrest, Shakira said: “I told him. I asked him if he agreed with everything and he agreed. I wanted to make sure because he’s super jealous. He’s a man. He’s territorial. He wants to know everything is under control.” The music video for her new single “Can’t Remember to Forget you” had not been given the nod of approval by many music critics and social media users alike after it showed the South American rolling around in bed with Rihanna, while smoking cigars. Arab commentators  in particular vented their anger at Shakira, pointing to her Lebanese origins; the star’s paternal grandparents emigrated from Lebanon to New York City, where her father was born. “It’s a lesbianist music vide
