My Trip to Ekiti

I returned a couple of hours ago from my state of origin. The good old Ekiti-kete. The fountain of knowledge with a lot of excitement.

Obasanjo’s Bachelor’s Degree of Suffering

Jan 9, 2009

Perharps, had he gotten it earlier, the country may have benefited from his experience in a higher institution. Albeit, I don’t think the receipt of a degree by a former president...
