I just returned from the homeland where I’d gone with other members of our town union to attend the funeral of a member and former executive of the women wing of our town union. This one was particular important for me because it involved the burial of widow, who had no child for her late […]
Migration is as old as mankind. It must be that once man realised himself, he simply moved, even if it was for no just cause besides curiosity. Today, most of us live in places different from where our parents once lived, sometimes to be reunited with them, only in death with what is left of […]
Just last year, in the post (TEN YEARS OF MADUKOVICH’S COGITATIONS | https://madukovich.wordpress.com/2023/05/18/ten-years-of-madukovichs-cogitations/) I made for my ten years of blogging on this platform, I raised the fear of what ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE, AI might mean for blogging.

Once a while, the conversation around tradition and westernisation arises amongst Africans. With my Igbo friends the topic could be so emotive that had most of these conversations not been on social media, we could as well be exchanging blows.

Truly, Jewish feasts aren’t meant in any way to be loved one over another, but each time I glean into the significance of this feast I cannot but help thinking it the best. Well, until passover […]
I haven’t been in the North for a while now. Five years should be approximately the last time I visited. Each time I travel to the North though, I encounter something new, which is not unusual seeing as the longest I’ve stayed, apart from the long periods of visits to my uncles and the one […]
