Have you seen my childhood? (Pt 4): How I became irreligious
The more questions I asked, the more I was told to believe and be born again and seek my own salvation and leave the rest. I couldn't handle it so in 1995 I stopped going to church altogether. It's been 18 years and I haven't gone back since...

Read Frank Nweke Jnr.'s opening speech at Nigerian Entertainment Conference
Entertainment plays a pivotal role in society as a stress and tension diffuser. Many of us will remember a great book, song, beautiful theatrical performance or amazing movie because of the profound impact they had on us at certain moments when we were down or even at such times when we are happy and therefore serve to reinforce our state of emotional well being, however transient it may be...

Chris Ihidero Unedited: Have You Seen My Childhood (3)…Introduction to Rioting
Alhaji Sanni, my school proprietor was an enigma. He stood well over six feet and had a bounce in his strides. He had schooled abroad, I think, and his demeanour was that of a wise old man who knew a lot but said little. If you did something wrong and your issue got to Alhaji Sanni’s table, you knew you would get a fair hearing, and if found guilty, a fairly good beating. Myth had it that if Alhaji Sanni gave you six strokes of the cane, each one will land on exactly the same spot, in a straight line. Many were the tales of students who had suffered ruptures on their backs from being flogged by Alhaji Sanni.

Chris Ihidero Unedited: Have you seen my childhood?
I was 7 years old and in Primary 3 when my mum planned the coup that led to my going to the boarding house (See last week’s piece for details.) My school, Sanni Luba Nursery/Primary School was located in Ijebu-Ode, Ogun-State. By the standards of the 80s it was a good school; actually one of the best in Ogun-State, academically.

SOLILOQUY: Congratulating Annie and 2face, getting inspiration from Nigerian SMEs and wishing Achebe safe journey
The Idibias have given us one more reason to be able to say that love is true, love is real. One more reason to be able to beat our chests and say, no matter the mistakes, no matter the blunders, no matter the distractions, no matter the trials and tribulations, what’s meant to be, will eventually be...

Chris Ihidero Unedited: The great debate: Should prostitution be legalised?
Actually, if truth be told, we are all prostitutes. We shag and are shagged for a fee: whether the fee is a promise to spend the rest of our miserable lives together, whatever our excuses may be, when we get down to the basics, we are all constantly prostituting our bodies, souls and spirits.
