On a serious note, I've not come across a relatively well-known philosopher from Igbo culture in modern times.
I don't think Nigeria has produced any reputable philosopher. Pre~colonial & post colonial era in Igboland, education was not free, though there was a scholarship system for the bright students. Probably, the government or community was not willing to sponsor candidates majoring in philosophy. If e no be law, medicine or engineer then e better make u go become Rev Father.


Later, I've come to realise that Xtianity also played a huge role. Most of the federal universities in the South, half of the academic staff in philosophy dept are populated by Rev Fathers, sisters, Deaconess, pastors e.t.c. You can not plant cassava & harvest potato.

On a lighter note, I think that book was a really formative one for me in my early days. This administration already has its Snowball in Ajuri Ngelale. When I reached adulthood, I realized the book was a veiled allegory for the formation of a socialist state that morphs into totalitarian communism with figures such as Lenin and Trotsky replaced with characters from the book. I learned to be skeptical about religion because Moses the Raven sounded exactly like our current day religious leaders telling tales of "sugarcandy-mountain"

Another deeply allegorical book was the Jonathan Swift classic, Gullivers travels.

I really love what you’re doing for your kids with your treasure trove of eBooks. I visited a friend who has a considerable collection and already has books on the must-read list for his future kids grin

Thank God the world is not made of low quotient low value twats such as yourself.

You remind me of some of the laziest most useless most good for nothing people I had the misfortune of working with.

Those who threw up their hands the moment they hit a road block. Those who could never make any positive contribution and who had an inbred programmed to fail mentality.

Did you actually think it would be easy?

Simple minded dunce.

However bad things may be, they are infinitely better than what would we would have had if your beer slinging loss making Clown had been in the office.

Daft stupid dunce. Who let you out of the Mohbad riot? That is where you belong. That is what the peanut in your skull is suited for. Arguing about blood in a corpse. Stupid clout chasing slowpoke.

The country is broke. Things are going to get worse before they get better.

Now run off and go and join your fellow jobless clowns and block a road.

I could not remember the quote so I had to look

A truly great book should be read in youth, again in maturity and once more in old age, as a fine building should be seen by morning light, at noon and by moonlight.
Robertson Davies
The book hits different the older you grow. As a child it was basically a fairy story.

Give me another 20 years and I will possibly be cynical and indifferent like Benjamin. cry

Lilliputians and Bigendians lol. I'm yet to read any of George Orwell's. I just don't know why.

Pls if you don’t mind what make Gulliver Travels an Allegory?
I read it in my early years in secondary school and still remember sketchy details here or there but I never saw the similarities with Animal farm.

Was it Bigendians or Blesfucians? Maybe Blesfuc was the land of the giants. I read a somewhat abridged version of Gulliver's travels, my wife brought a copy home recently (abridged in its own way still), and I saw the one I read growing up skipped a lot of the politics between Lilliput and the rival kingdom and dwelt more on the peculiarities of the miniature humans, and the giants on his second travel.

Maybe bureaucracy of the Lilliputians. Asking Gulliver to fight their enemies he knew zilch about.

Yeah, my bad.
Actually Lilliputians and Bigendians were different factions in the land of the dwarfs.

Not even Loki of the original Norse mythology can match his silver tongue. The dude lies as easily as he breathes.


And apparently he's a pastor too.

I heard Tinubu was scammed by some "third-party event organizer" who lied to him about the NASDAQ bell thingy, and convinced him and his team that he was the first African leader to ring the bell for the close of business.

Thanks I’ve browsed the internet to checked it out. Read it as a kid and obviously the allegory didn’t really stand out for some one of my age then.

You should. Animal Farm and 1984 are must-reads.

The Big-endians vs the Little-endians was a clear reference to the silliness of the schism between religious factions of Catholicism and Protestantism.

Also important to note that the Blefuscans waging war with Lilliput was basically a reference to all the squabbling between the French and the English.

Jonathan Swift satirized the entirety of humanity in the stories of the voyage to the Land of intelligent horses called the Houyughneims (I’m not sure i spelled that correctly as this is my recollections of a book I last read as a pre-pubescent)

That guy layered a lot of allegory into his work and that’s the best thing to do at a time when directly sharing such ideas would earn you a kiss from the hangman’s noose

I really should read 1984 at least once. Societal dystopia will always be a fascinating read

The book is really good, although it is easy to see why it didn't catch on with kids unlike Animal Farm. People use his terms every day without knowing it. Terms like Big Brother, Though Police, stem from his writings. 1984 is overall a darker novel than Animal Farm.
