Ah, are you not living in this federation? Check out any nearby dilapidated government school and you'll be shocked to the marrow. Politicians have destroyed everything. As one european historian said, democracy has little virtue on its own - in the hands of good men, it works; but, it in the hands of evil men, it only brings on disaster.

Democracy is not an abstract concept on its own.
The way it is depends on how much the people are invested in it. The more of them who invest, the better and vice versa.

The ambience looks lovely. Back then when I was still in my undergraduate level I was always frequenting underbridge to see if I could find Jagua Nana. Unfortunately I couldn't and still can't till date. I was told it has been out of print for a very long time
Jagua Nana's daughter by Cyprian Ekwensi. one of my favorite novels back in the days.

There's something that I forgot to include in that post.


Memories (1983 or 1984).

There were a bunch of people sitting around a circular table in my living room. There were Indians, Americans, Nigerians and Ghanaians. They were playing a card game in front of the TV set.


I can't remember what the sequence was, but I think it was that the person that won the card game would then get a turn at playing video games. Or was it the person that lost? Anyway, the card game determined who played the video game.

I played either Spiderman or Maze Craze whenever it was my turn.






I forgot to write about the board games and card games!

The board games that I can remember were Ludo, Cluedo, Risk, Monopoly, Snakes and Ladders and scrabble.


The card games that I can remember are Whot and Slap Jack (Slap Jack was my absolute favourite).

It's a very wonderful piece of literature.

"That was how Emenike died."

That was the last line in the novel. I still remember those saddening words after reading that novel more than five times in my teenage years.

I was sad for almost a week the first time I finished that book.

Its was a bit of romance with suspense and it was highly rated among literary scholars
