I was watching the movie “Something the Lord made” and I got moved with emotions. I’ll say why. The movie was based on a true life story of one Vivien Thomas who became the first African American without a doctorate degree to perform open heart surgery on a white patient in the United States and who developed the procedures used to treat...

Very many years ago, when Africa was simply geographical statistics to Europe; when the land was divided and passed from on european Nation to the next as gifts regardless of the diversity of those who lived in that geographical region, the church stood alone as a body that had a singular role of developing and building the region. Missionaries from different...

Hi friends, I hit a writer’s block a while ago. I’ve had so many things to write that I’ve not written anything. There’s a passion burning deep within me for the development and emancipation of my country, Nigeria. I’ve been studying the Bible for a while now and I’ve been looking at Nehemiah and his exploits written in the...

I got sent this link while I was networking online. I decided to check it  out immediately especially  because it was sent to me by one of my...

I was told about this song few days ago and I’ve been listening to it relentlessly. It was rendered by John Legend at the Democratic National Convention for the recent Presidential Elections.

That was the activity that culminated the inauguration of the 44th president of the...

If wealth is lost, nothing is lost; if health is lost, something is lost; if character is lost, everything is lost………. I heard that last week, Reuben Abati, a foremost journalist with the Guardian newspapers wrote an article of how his email account was hacked into and his friends had all received emails allegedly from him stating that he was...

I stumbled upon this article by Gani Fawehinmi a few hours ago as I was going through the local news online. I really wasn’t surprised at the contents. Apparently, the weak government of the day in Nigeria had offered to bestow upon him a National Award, Officer of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (OFR) to be specific. Unfortunately for this government, no...

I am attending a meeting somewhere in Ilorin where one of my mentors, Fela Durotoye reiterated that Nigeria by 2025 will undoubtedly be the most desirable Nation to live in. As far reaching as this is, I am absolutely certain of its veracity, not only because he said God told him so but because I sense it in my innermost being. Events that will make this...

I came across this article in the newspapers while reading today and as I’d usually do, I decided to celebrate this guy as one of my own BUSAYOAKANRO.COM Heroes of the year in relation to the CNN Heroes of the year. His vision on empowerment and passion about making it happen at no monetary cost to the beneficiaries fits in well with my definition of a...
