Now that the Federal Road Safety Corps have withdrawn from Southeastern roads in fear of the i.p.o.b, I'm afraid drivers will be overspeeding anyhow.

Nigerians like to create problems for themselves.

May the souls of the deceased rest in peace.

DMerciful:
Why not put number to the GDP? Where did he met it, what is it now?, Infrastructure? Which Infrastructure?, corruption ? What was the corruption perception index he met and what is it now?

How is diaspora remittance an achievement of government?

Give analysis like someone who has gone through higher institution

DMerciful:
Mention just two area that Tinubu has improved

DMerciful:
No data support your beer parlour talks.

Tinubu is a big flop and he will be booted out on or before 2027

heIinue:
The Osu state...

Why can't Anambra be merged with Delta state instead of creating a new state in South East?

Coolsperm:
Even me as a Yoruba Muslim will never vote Tinubu again, I dey mad?

DMerciful:
Tinubu is by far the worst illegitimate president Nigeria ever had

DMerciful:
Obi cannot be as terrible as Tinubu

gidgiddy:
Nigeria is a highly insecure country, and any life lost to it is always regrettable. But what I find nauseating is when people like Reno Omokiri use insecurity for the game of politics.

I'm from Anambra and pretty much know what goes on in my state. On Monday 17th June, Anambra Vigilantee Group(AVG) foiled a kidnap attempt at a Hotel in Nnewi. They chased the kidnappers to the boundary between Nnewi and neighbouring Nnobi where they engaged the kidnappers in a shootout. Unfortunately, a young girl who was caught in the crossfire, and a member of the Vigilantee team, were both killed.

The video of the aftermath is below

A week later, Reno Omokiri and other peddlers of false news have reduced this unfortunate incident to mean that IPOB was enforcing sit at home and killed the girl, all in a shameful bid to call out Peter Obi. Rather than talking about what can be done to stem the tide of insecurity, people are busy selling false narratives just to score cheap political points.

Terrible

DMerciful:
When Obi gets presidential powers, you'd know why the elites have been ganging against him. He will use his presidential powers to the fullest

princepeter566:
Nigeria don cast.
Nothing interest me anymore

Owaincouncil:
This people are funny. They can't chose a performing governor to lead them. In fact, I still prefer soludo as chairman than thus darudapo

Makavelli001:
I think the comparision of Wole Soyinka and Chinua Achebe is mischievous at best.

There is no comparison really.

I like to think that what makes someone a SPECTACULAR writer is their ability to tell stories that finds a home in your heart.

I left secondary school MANY YEARS AGO, and I can tell you, that there are literatures I read back then, that I can still remember today... I can remember the dialogues... Incidents...Names... And even the pictures I created in my mind of what I think the writer was trying to portray.

I only read Wole Soyinka because I needed to pass my literature exams.
I remember how we had to debate The Lion and the jewel in our literature class... Soyinka portrayed Africa like a helpless continent that needed western civilization to survive.
I have never opened any of his books since after secondary school.

But I have read Things fall apart by Chinua Achebe more than 10 times.
I have read The Concubine by Elechi Amadi more than 15 times.

I mean, from start to end.

I have replayed different scenarios and different endings in my head.

I have thought about A Things Fall Apart where Ikemefuna did not die...
A concubine where Ihuoma's children didn't hunt lizards on the very day Ekwume came visiting...

These are memories that will remain with me forever because a writer dared intrude my subconscious and made a home there.

I will chose to read Efuru by Flora Nwapa over any of Woke Soyinka "finest works".

There are at least 10 African writers who I'll read first before I pick any Wole Soyinkas books, like;
Ngugi wa Thiongo
Cyprian Ekwensi
Mongo Beti
Buchi Emecheta
Aye Kwei Armah
Etc.

And No, my submission is NOT because of the politics of "ANYWHERE BELLE FACE' Wole Soyinka has subjected himself to, which has made him a nuisance/laughing stock right now, it's just how I have always felt about his works.
I never connected to ANY of his books, I had to struggle to read, to relate, or even understand them and I have read over 200 books from African writers series alone.

Many Nigerians will easily remember Ikemefuna and Okonkwo more than they can remember any character in Wole Soyinka's books, this is because of RELATABILITY, a writer speaking to the reader in a familiar language.

Chinua Achebe is NIGERIA'S GREATEST LITERARY EXPORT to the world and there is a reason he is called THE GODFATHER OF AFRICAN LITERATURE...

I mean, THINGS FALL APART alone has been translated into 57 Languages!!!

It is not news that the reason why Achebe was snubbed for a Nobel Prize for literature was because he was too committed in his support of African culture and the oppressed, instead of using his platform to serve the interests of big powers in the west who were and are still our puppet masters.

Like the late Nelson Mandela once said; paraphrased, Achebe is the writer in whose company the prison walls fell down.

Achebe is THE GOAT.
There is NO COMPARISON.
Kapish?
