bolafez:
this BBC people sef are promoting BIAFRA, why will a book written to split Nigeria be awarded?
Same was said about Chinua "There was a country". How does a book which fore tells the truth about the scam of a country Nigeria be said to actually written to split it up? Come to think of it. Was Nigeria even almagated on the opinion of the masses or for the interest of a certain region?

A man and his wife never fought for 25yrs of their marriage. A friend asked him how he had managed to make it possible. He narrated, "We went for our Honeymoon in Australia 25years ago, and while riding on a horse, my wife's horse jumped and my wife fell down. She then got up, patted the Horse's back and said 'this is your first time'. After a while,it happened again. She patted the horse again and said 'this is your second time". The horse did it again the 3rd time,she brought out a gun and shot the horse dead. I was so shocked and shouted at her, 'Are you crazy!' What's wrong with you? Why did you kill the horse? She gave me a grave look and said this is your first time. Since then.....
