Soludo must feel like a necromancer, you said what everyone knows mate doesn't make you special

It's easier for tinubu to stop bedwetting than Obi to win 2023 elections.

Obi will drop out of the race latest January 28

Atiku is coming

Legacy.
Good market no need advert

If only the people in this current administration had allowed the then government remove fuel subsidy, this menace would have long been behind us. It's really crazy how politicians gamble with the lives and wellbeing of it's citizens all for their own selfish gains.

I truly understand your point though

Kobonaire234:
On the other hand pretending that fuel is cheap has added to our debt due to us taking loans to cover the deficit left by rising subsidy costs.

Pay market price for fuel at the pump or pay it at the World Bank is what it boils down to

Do I blame you. Feeding big on the commonwealth of hardworking Nigerians, and here y'all saying it's not bad. How many Nigerians can boast of above ₦2,000 daily.

You can't just sit in Abuja and decide, go to the inner cities and see for yourself the ugly hardship this your administration has dragged the citizens into. It's really obscene.

And, no let's stop the comparison with other countries. How many of these countries we are comparing ourselves with have the kind of wealth and resources Nigeria has? How many?

Ichie Chimamanda, Odeluwa 1. Nwanyi ka nwoke ike. Ada obodo dike. Congratulations to her. I love to see the evolution of culture.

Uncle, please tell us story.

It's really disheartening how shameless these people can be. I have said it repeatedly, it will be political business as usual if APC wins next year, which I strongly believe they won't. What nonsense these people keep saying. I'm just so happy the masses have woken up from their slumber and ready to take back this country.

In all, vote wisely

Okay

so the name is what is more important now?

well said. thumbs up Umahi

HIDDING FROM OUR PAST (BIAFRA) by Ms Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

A generation was robbed of its innocence. The war was the seminal event in Nigeria’s modern history, but I learned little about it in school. “Biafra” was wrapped in mystery. At home, my parents spoke of it rarely and obliquely; I heard many stories about my grandfathers’ wisdom and humor, but few stories about how they had died.

By the time that Biafra was defeated, in 1970, at least a million people were dead, including my grandfathers proud, titled Igbo men who were buried in the unmarked graves of refugee camps. My parents lost other relatives, and everything they owned. On the margins of my happy childhood, there was a shadow: the Biafran war. I was born seven years after it ended, and did not experience any material deprivations, I had a bicycle, dolls, books but my family was scarred by it.

In 1967, after massacres in northern Nigeria that targeted southeastern Igbo people, the southeast seceded and formed an independent nation called Biafra. Nigeria went to war to prevent the secession.

I became haunted by history. I spent years researching and writing “Half of a Yellow Sun,” a novel about human relationships during the war, centered on a young, privileged woman and her professor lover. It was a deeply personal project based on interviews with family members who were generous enough to mine their pain, yet I knew that it would, for many Nigerians of my generation, be as much history as literature. In 2006, my publisher and I were braced for the Nigerian publication, unsure of how it would be received. We were pleasantly surprised: “Half of a Yellow Sun” became one of the best-selling Nigerian novels published in the past fifty years. It cut across different ethnic groups, started conversations, served as a catalyst for previously untold stories. I was heartened to hear from readers whose families had survived Biafra and those whose families had been on the Nigerian side.

But the Biafran war is still wrapped in a formal silence. There are no major memorials, and it is hardly taught in schools. This week, the South eastern region had set aside today as a remembrance day for those who died at the war front, and the government is trying to prevent these citizens from their right because, according to them, it might incite violence in the country; it is now up to the State Security Service to make a decision.

Partly the result of an unexamined past and partly of the trauma of years of military dictatorship, a sustained and often unnecessary sense of secrecy is the norm in Nigerian public life. We talk often of the “sensitivity” of issues as a justification for a lack of transparency. Conspiracy theories
thrive. Soldiers are hostile to video cameras in public. Officials who were yesterday known as thieves are widely celebrated today. It is not unusual to hear Nigerians speak of “moving forward,” as though it might be possible merely
to wish away the unpleasant past.

But we cannot hide from our history. Many of Nigeria’s present problems are, arguably, consequences of an ahistorical culture. As a child, I sometimes found rusted bullets in our garden, reminders of how recent the war had
been. My parents are still unable to talk in detail about certain war experiences. The past is present, and we are better off acknowledging it and, hopefully, learning from it.

😃😃😃 Awesome
