Today, after 3 years, I defended my thesis and rounded up my PhD in Population and Development Studies at the University of Calabar. My research provided further understanding to the effects of socio-ecological drivers of the pastoralists-farmers conflicts in Nigeria.

I wrote a book about my father - AHUKANNA
It reaches far beyond biography. Teaches how to live right, love beyond ethnic lines...
A must-read! Reflects everyday realities. If you're Nigerian, when you read, it 'll mirror who you are – or not.

@AfricaFirsts I wrote an article about what Nigeria can learn from this Kenya's nature-based tourism model
What can Nigeria learn from Kenya’s nature-based tourism?

Christianity is a really funny religion, man…
Imagine thinking that whatever it is that created this majestic and possibly infinite universe, in all its complexity, scale, and structure, impregnated a Jewish girl somewhere in Palestine 2,000 years ago,can get jealous of other gods,can regret its actions,can command one tribe to commit genocide against another,endorses slavery,gets angry,thinks blood sacrifice is a rational route to forgiveness and creates eternal suffering for people who do not believe very unconvincing stories in a book.
Think about how completely ridiculous that leap is.
Christianity (and its little sister, Islam, which believes the language of this concept of a creator is Arabic…in light of the thousands of beautiful and rich languages on the planet) really is an insult to whatever majestic being created the universe, if there is indeed one. And images like these below actually solidify the position of atheists or the non-religious…in fact, it is exactly why they are atheists.
The sheer majesty and complexity of the universe don’t push atheists or any rational, non-indoctrinated mind, for that matter toward religion…It often does the opposite. It highlights just how implausible and, at times, absurd many religious doctrines appear by comparison.
Because they hold such a concept…that which would create this universe…to such a high standard, that organized religions and their books, when you read them, end up looking really, really silly.
It was a pleasure to see a report on the 2026 APDD Writing and Dissemination Workshop on the Ivory Coast’s National TV Network News, with Hamza Diaby reporting.
