One pleasant Sunday

Hello friends, hope you've been good. Here's hoping the week brings lots of goodies.

So, we have been working, thinking - so much about you. Yes you. It is a passion, and we have been enslaved therewith. Yous faithfully have got some great heads on his team, people with whom together we will bring the revolution you've been dreaming about. But you owe us your patience.


We converged yesterday, these great heads. (I know I owe you the images. But I've ignored that for some good reasons). We talked about you. About  all that you don't understand about our government and how to clear all the ambiguities that now cloud your head. We talked about making you understand what democracy truly is - as against every popular gibberish narrative - about your active participation.  Change, truly is you. You have to believe this.

We talked about the decadence that is our societies now and the possible recipes to a saner clime; and the briskness with which hope is disappearing in our time.

And it was beautiful.
And we are hopeful

That's what happened yesterday. And it was a cool, super fabulous Sunday.

Yours faithfully is engaging in something that would outlive him. And he is passionately enthusiastic.

Thanks for trusting. For believing. For stopping by.

Much love from here

I consider Uzoamaka Doris Aniunoh intelligent for the incisiveness in her Balcony story. You may not have heard about Doris, probably you may not even think she is capable of anything. But I tell you of truth, Doris is likely another Nigerian literary topnotch on the rise. Through art man is able to imitate, supplement, and in some cases even counteract the course and works of nature. And that underscores his incontestable brilliance and wittiness. One of the benefits and beauties of literature is that through it we are able see ourselves, our world, as in a mirror, and review our lives. And “Balcony” a succinctly brilliant story by Doris - a sure literary

On Peter Obi: A letter to my friends who lost their cool

Image
The day Nigeria marked her 56th Independence Anniversary; Pastor Poju Oyemade of Covenant Christian Centre gave us a real treat on The Platform. It was a good moment to reflect on the ordeals and trajectories of our nation. Pastor Oyemade assembled a coterie of highly cerebral speakers who seasoned the event. Ever since that day, an eccentric kind of feeling has filled the air, and the social media is awash with certain impetuous hash tags.

Tuface's Cowardice and Nigeria's Waning Democracy

Image
When someone says you are poor, it does not necessarily mean you have a tag of indigence dangling from your neck; lacking food, water or roof over your head and other 'very' basic necessities of life. Poverty too, is the lack of power and choice, especially in a democracy. Last Saturday, Nigerians woke to the dispiriting news of Tuface yielding to pressure; and consequently cancelling the proposed (eagerly awaited by many Nigerians) "one voice protest" that was to hold across major cities in the country. The music maestro was on the verge of making incredible statement, until he burst the bubble that Saturday morning.
