If people in their 30s were elected into public office back then... They may very much still be alive now

They were quite old, most of them, in 1979 , so expecting them to be alive is basically expecting a lot.

1979 is 44 years ago. Many of them were over 50 years old. Or late 40's. Expecting them to be still alive is a lot.

Gen Z people. There was no Anambra state in 1979. Anambra state was created in 1991.


Hey...dey...time for history lesson

Old Anambra state was created in 1976, ...it included what is now New Anambra, Enugu, and Ebonyi states.

In 1991, it was divided into New Anambra and Enugu state

Then in 1996, Ebonyi was created

Sauce: my old primary school lessons. grin (They used to force us to memorize the states then...)

Life is vanity upon vanity king Solomon in the bible saw it all when he made that statement , you know how many wives and concubines he had plus enormous wealth and power , everything he wants he get it but at the end he looked at all these things and said everything in life is vanity, let's learn to be humble and do the right thing, do good always, don't oppress the person you are better than , nothing dey for this life.
