STATISTICS on the health of Nigerian children are dreadful, dreary, depressing, and deadening. Death surrounds our children from conception to birth, for those who make it out alive. The Federal Government is disinterested in these issues that compromise the future - if there is any - of Nigeria.

For decades, the Onwa Esaa festival of Obollo land, which is an ancient lunar ritual niched in ancestral veneration, struggled to maintain its sanctity amidst a disturbing wave of violence, masquerade-induced terror, and social disorder. What was once the heartbeat of traditional spirituality in Obollo gradually became a season of fear and chaos, hijacked by the radicalization of Akatakpa masquerade operators who had lost sight of the sacred norms that once guided the cult.

Who will restore Warri back to its glorious days? A city that was once the pride of all Wafarians, is now a shadow of itself, rusty and reeking with aroma of poverty occasioned by systemic decline with people cocooned in deprivation and squalor. Warri is allusively known as Wafi, making the people and residents of the city identified as Wafarians.

European leaders often portray Russian President Vladimir Putin as a tyrant, a land grabber, and a Russian bear. And following the outbreak of the Russia-Ukraine War three years ago, the deadliest in Europe since World War II, Putin has gone from being a bad guy in Western European eyes to being something worse: a war criminal.

I met Professor Jacob Olupona on the Board of Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba, Ondo State. Then, he often travelled down from Harvard University for the Board meetings and always seemed in a hurry to go back. He is profoundly deep and introspective; it is no surprise that he is a professor and a member of the faculty at one of the world's most prestigious universities. I also noticed that Olupona is folksy. I found that he relished in breaking down complex concepts and reassembling them in a way that would make even a moron grasp his gist. He is like Neil deGrasse Tyson, the African-American astrophysicist who often makes space science seem like a piece of cake.
