How to Seduce Straight Guys By Owei Lakemfa HUMANITY in 2020, the year we bade a hurried goodbye to, yesterday, like snails, withdrew into their shells following the outbreak of the corona virus COVID-19 pandemic. It was an instinctive abandonment of multilateralism. Not even the countries that claim to be religious entities, remembered that they are enjoined to be their brother’s keeper. Like Cain in the Holy Book, they would have retorted to any enquiry about their action: Am I my brother’s keeper? However, it was a vain scramble of individualism. Human beings behaved less out of knowledge and more like the child who thought that if war were to break out, all he would need do, is run and hide under his grandmother’s bed, as if the war can never get there. So, it was in the shell of each country’s skin the virus incubated each with its own solitary index case. The result at the close of that troubling year, was that from the seven isolated cases from the Wuhan fish market, humani...

How to Seduce Straight Guys By Mohammed Bello Yunusa IN Nigeria nothing is rational. Everything is instigated. That the cock did not crow this morning, the cock must have been told not to crow so that I don’t wake up early for my duties. Therefore, at all times, as much as you needed someone who knows another one that knows the water board manager to get your house connected to water supply line, you also need the same chain of relationship to react to government policies, errors or make demands on the government as a citizen. The individual citizens have no reasoning capacity, so this type of social capital is required. It cannot be voluntary. The citizens must have been instigated by opponents or other persons that either hate or are not benefitting from the system. This is the fallacy of our collective reasoning that undermines our political and socioeconomic development and national unity. We must revive our collective capacity to see issues as the present themselves. Otherwise...
