Chinazor: Benin vs Yoruba

Chinazor Onianwah :As far back as 1450 AD, the reigning Oba Ewuare of Benin refused to sell slaves to the Portuguese.

Chinazor: Doubting the Passover

Chinazor Onianwah If there is no evidence of Jewish presence in Egypt, how could the Passover have occurred?

Chinazor on Polygamy

I will strongly recommend the same attitude anywhere there is a catastrophic breakdown of family structure. I’m no longer bashful on this. Polygamy is a better option than single-motherhood any time anywhere. It’s the ultimate sacrifice a woman makes for her children, community and natio[...]

Chinazor: Nigeria as Model for US Democracy!

Chinazor Onianwah What is even worse than been a dictator is woeful ineptitude. The world heard a president of the United States, Barack Obama, just days ago, tell the world how he took a nation on the brink of collapse and restored it. We all know he was telling the truth because every government i[...]

Commentary by Chinazor: The girls of Swaziland

Chinazor Onianwah I am one who applaud the enduring beauty and colorful rites of passage for girls in Africa. In the midst of societal presures on girls to grow up faster; bombardment of sexual inuendos projecting them as sexual objects, it is good to know that a celebration of innocence still endur[...]

Chinazor: The Mess That is Nigeria

Chinazor Onianwah News you can use. Nigerians abroad remit to their friends and family a whopping $20b annually. This represents the largest revenue, second to crude oil for Africa’s largest economy.

Corruption in Nigeria

Chinazor Onianwah This requires a full stomach for digestion. Which I promptly did. The reason why corruption thrives in Nigeria at a Jurassic level is because Nigerians are not invested in what they believe is their country. It’s a viscous circle of thieves outmaneuvering thieves. And it̵[...]
