Death of the heroine;
Division in a Family;
Sacred Nature of Marriage;
And other sub-themes.
Chief Mrs Kiara Adesewa Adelakun
(Nee Gerrard),a jewel to behold as a
mother,grandmother,Great
grandmother,sister
and
aunt died on the 14th of August,2008. At the
very
ripe Age of 96. Four months
later,families,friends
and well wishers gathered at the St.
Micheal’s
Catholic Church to celebrate her life well
spent.
But to many who were not close,did not
know
how
her family was,the hatred amidst her
children
and
the ‘dis-unity’ amongst them.
My grandfather and I went on the 15th July
to
pay
a visit to Mrs. Kiara’s home at Agege. Only
God
can tell what prompted my grandpa for a
visit
that
very sunday,unplanned for.
Find out in this outstanding story of how the
themes and sub-themes appeal to the
emotion,Leading a great deal of morals for
family
building.
It was a sunday morning, I woke up to the
warmth
the early morning sun could offer, never did I
know
how the day would go. I did some chores,
took my
bathe, brushed and was dressed for Mass(as
in
service).
I had gone to meet my Grandpa for money I
would
use in purchasing ‘bulletin’ and give during
offertory
when he informed me, we would pay a visit
to
Mama kiara’s.
The driver was around, he had gotten the
car
ready
and I was the person delaying the visit due
to
the
fact I was heading to church but they knew,
they
had to wait for me.
I was the ‘choir-master’/president of the
children/
youth choir and without me, it would be very
obvious at mass I wasn’t around,–so I left
for
church giving ‘Papa’ an “Okay, Sir!.” for ‘an’
answer.
Immediately I got back from church at about
10:30am, we were set to leave. We drove on
the
Third Mainland Bridge and Papa ‘slit’ his
Rosary out
of his pocket, praying!.
I used the opportunity to contemplate on two
(2)
things. One of which was Mr. Gbenro, papa’s
driver!.
A dark in complexion with grey hairs already
appearing on his head and jaw. He is a
reserved
man but to me too sluggish and dull that
anybody
could easily take him for granted.
The man I was having these thoughts about
would,
or should be at least 20 years older than my
dad.
Enough to be my dad and in some other
parts
of
this country, my grandfather. I knew it was
wrong
to have those thoughts but I was not
someone who
cared so long they were thoughts.
****************************************
On the other hand, I was thinking what
prompted
Papa on a visit to Mama’s house, someone
we
visited almost a year ago.
Immediately he was done praying his Rosary,
I
inquired!.
“Papa, why are we visiting Mama?”. His
sister!.
“A mind drew me to her place and I felt, we
should
pay her a visit,” was his reply!.
“Okay, Sir!. It’s cool”.
I adjusted on the back seat and sank into
thought
again. Well, old people always have that urge
when
something is happening at the other end or
about
to happen.
I was still trying to guess what might have
happened since the last time we paid a visit
to
Mama.
Would her house still wear that same old
look
of its
outer part but dazzles inside?.
Would she have Chin-chin for us?.
Would the last maid still be serving her?.
How might she be coping in the house?.
Because she lives in such a big house with
only a
maid, those types of maid that would come
lying,–
they would not steal, lie but take care of
Mama as
theirs’, but spending not up to 2 months,
they
were
gone!.
I could not help my thoughts, could not hear
what
Grandpa said, I was totally lost, I asked!.
“Kini e so sir (what did you say)?.”
“Man yi ma ti so wa nu ke (Mr. Gbenro had
missed
the road/way and we were lost)!!!.”
I lifted my head, looked out of the window
may be I
could recognise where we were, all to no
avail, I
couldn’t tell but Mr. Gbenro drove on.
****************************************
Where was Mr Gbenro headed??……only time
would
tell.

– Governor Al-Makura of Nasarawa state
said nobody can challenge the decisions of
President Buhari
– The governor was reacting to criticisms
over Buhari’s reversal on his electoral
propmise
– Buhari is at liberty to change his mind
and take decisions, Al-Makura said
The governor of Nasarawa state, Alhaji
Tanko Al-Makura, said Nigerians cannot
challenge the decision of President
Muhammadu Buhari’s not to fulfill his
government’s pledge of paying N5000
monthly allowances to unemployed citizens.
Gov Al-Makura says nobody can challenge
Buhari
Briefing State House correspondents after
meeting with Vice President Yemi Osinbajo
at the Presidential Villa, Abuja on Monday,
February 29, the governor said Buhari had
the right to review his party’s electoral
promise, The Punch reports.
He said: “ The president is the person that can
tell you precisely how he is working on
promises and interventions that he has created
by his ingenuity. And if at any point in time
the president is reviewing that issue, I think he
is the only person to that because what he is
doing is in the best interest of the country.
And so, it is not challengeable by anybody
whatever his position.”

Ahead of the 2015 presidential election, one
of the electoral promises of Buhari and his
party, the All Progressives Congress (APC)
was that a monthly allowance of N5,000 will
be paid to unemployed youths in the
country.
But, at the weekend, Buhari had during an
interactive session in Saudi Arabia described
the N5,000 stipend as largesse which was
not on his priority list. He stated that he
would rather channel resources into the
building of infrastructure, education,
agriculture and mining to create employment
opportunities for able bodied young men.
According to Al-Makura, if Buhari decided to
change his mind over his electoral promise,
it was for the good of the country based on
prevailing realities.
On what he discussed with Osinbajo, the
Nasarawa governor said they talked about
the security situation in his state and that of
Benue state which had led to bloody clashes
between herdsmen and farmers.
On his part, the Imo state governor and
chairman of the Progressives Governors’
Forum, Rochas Okorocha, said that the
promise will be implemented one way or the
other, The Nation reports.

He noted that more problems are sometimes
created by physical cash, saying the
president has saved the money for
unemployed youths to produce further
wealth.
“ The very poor people who have to ensure a
lot of social inconveniences to pay school fees
are no longer dong that, what has happened is
that he has saved that money to produce
further wealth, so if you keep money through
that system, it creates more impact than
physical cash ,” Okorocha said.
Buhari’s reversal on his electoral promise
has been trailed with condemnable criticisms
from many Nigerians.
Meanwhile, Lai Mohammed, the information
minister said Buhari has to downsize some
of its campaign promises because the
realities on ground are now different from
what it was during the campaigning period.
He explained that the price of crude was
$100 a barrel then, but now it is $30 a
barrel.

social media attacks from Nigerians
following the manner he shook hands with
the Senate president, Bukola Saraki.

out by a renowned oil magnet, Jide
Omokere.
Sen Bassey Albert Akpan almost kissing the
hand of Senate president Bukola Saraki
Senator Albert is expected back at the anti-
graft office this week for further questioning
on the matter. His extreme loyalty to Saraki,
who has attained the peak of his political
career, might not be unconnected with
political backing as well as to tap from the
sphere of influence Saraki wields.
The embattled Senator was pictured shaking
the Senate president in a manner some
Nigerians perceived as master and boy
relationship though some are also of the
opinion that Albert was just been respectful
and unintentionally bringing it to the fore.

Saraki’s unwelcoming handshake and the
senator’s hand, don’t want to let it go.”
Sani Mohammed Audu says: “How can a
senator bowing down to greet another senator
as If he is God – This is unnecessary and
primitive exaltation of the office and person of
Senate president.”
Ojomo Michael says: “Power 2 much 4
senator bassey to bowl like that hmmmm”
Pwagyang Nash says: “Who cares, he can
leak the hand.”
Moses Musa says: “Eyaa house boy mentality
indeed.”
Nogosa Oghobaghase says: “Slave…they have
so made Saraki a god which he is not…
whaaaaooo.”
Adamu Dallatu says: “Too sheme or maybe
he needs to appoint as chairman Senate
committee on finance.”
Martins Emeritus says “An act of cowardice
and gangsterism. Grow up Sen. Bassey
Albert.”
Elijah Michael says: “This shows that some
senators are houseboys.”
Adams Yakubu says: “Loyal clown with his
president ya.”
Baba Ahmed says: “Shameful fool!!”
Farouq Umar says: “Uhmm…. Very bad.”
Honor Felix says: “What concern Umana with
UBA. Best I pity you.”
Danjuma Adamu Aliyu says: “Terrible”
Popoola Ajose Kazeem says: “Forget na eye
service him de do jare.”
Buhari Wase Mumu says: “senator escorts.”
Omoleye Moses Adedotun says: “Shameful
act.”
Ibrahim Jibrin says: “Embarassing…”
Aminu A. Musa says: “Hah wonders shall
never end ooo”
Tchaik Nwabueze says: “This is absurd !!!!
Jawando Jawando says: “Saraki’s lapdog”
Imam AbdulGaffar Saad Jawondo says:
“Stupidity.”
Akogwu Abah Johnson says: “He may be
corrupt but this is a sign of respect to the
senate president.”
Jafar Abubakar says: “Apc your sentiments
are too much what is wrong with that? is
ameachi ,fashola, el rufai, an co not corrupt?
pls let this man be enough is enough.”
Mal SB Statistics says: “Yana gyara
Miyansane! So do u think he support saraki’s
impeachment.”
Mark Ojile says: “All animals are equal but
some are more equal than others.”

Truth O

– Okonjo-Iweala attended the conference on
immunisation in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
– The chair of the Global Vaccine Alliance
Board observed the immunisation of babies
and children at the health centre in Addis
Ababa
– Nigerians have reacted to the former
finance minister’s visit to Ethiopia
Nigerians have continued their reactions
regarding Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala’s visit to the
ministerial conference on immunisation in
Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
Iweala who is chairperson of the Gavi
Vaccine Alliance board, and a former finance
minister of Nigeria observed the
administration of vaccines to babies and
children while at the Ethiopian capital.
Following news regarding the Iweala’s trip,
many Nigerians took to socio-media to
speak for and against the ex-minister who in
recent times have come under heavy
criticisms.
Below are the mixed-reactions of some
Nigerians on Facebook.
Okonjo-Iweala on her visit to Ethiopia
“Innocent children were killed under her
watch”
“They killed Nigerian children by diverting
money under her watch,” those were the
words of Samuel Ola Bakare who was
furious that Iweala was helping Ethiopian
children when many Nigerian children
reportedly perished under the Goodluck
Jonathan administration in which she served.
Tajudeen Muyiwa also echoed Bakare’s
claims saying: “Heartless woman! She didn’t
see the need to improve the lots of Nigerians
she impoverished through unbridled
corruption under her watch as the minister of
finance and coordinating minister of economy.
She has forgotten that if she is not brought to
book in this world, she would account for all
the atrocities in the hereafter.”
Another furious Facebook user, Serenagold
Onaibre said: “How has she affected the lives
of agwashi uku people”.
Uwaoma Sonma took the argument a bit
further, saying: “She can’t help Nigerians,
maybe she is targeting their finance. Ethiopia
should be careful of minister of
mismanagement, all she knows is to blow big
economic grammar that has no effect in youur
country’s. economy.”

In line with what Sonma had said, another
user named Uche Anazodo Zodos said: “The
Ethiopians should be very careful with her
before she warms her way into the government
circles to be in a position to wreck their
economy for them. Africans are yet to know
who is who among certain individuals
occupying positions in government whose
interest they protect and who their pay
masters are.”
The great woman whose potentials Nigeria
has refused to utilise
Amarachi Ugochi Hisgrace extolled the
potentials of Iweala, while taking a swipe at
Kemi Adeosun the current finance minister.
“Great woman since 9ja doesn’t need u
anymore please fly higher and higher
internationally, I always see you at the top,”
Amarachi said. Adding: “But have you heard
the latest change from the present finance
minister? 16+6=24.”
Ikpoaku Odinikpoaku Nwaku who reacted to
Iweala being called a corrupt official, told
other users to desist from labeling the ex-
minister as corrupt. Ikpoaku argued that
even President Muhammdu Buhari has said
he has no prove to persecute her.
On her part, Mirian Igwegbe noted that
complaining all the time will not solve the
Nigerian problem. She stressed that the
incessant complaints of Nigerians is a factor
which is impeding growth of the nation. She
concluded by warning that Iweala be left
alone as to allow the focus remain on the
present administration and what can be done
to deliver change.

– Buhari given probable ways of saving national currency – Utomi revelas what Nigerians need to do very, very quickly Professor Pat Utomi, one of prominent Nigerian economists, has given advises to President Muhammadu Buhari on how to save naira. The Central Bank of Nigeria has taken measures to improve the value of naira on the black market. In recent times, the currency changed for N400 to a dollar and had been fluctuating between N300 and N395 ever since. READ ALSO: 5 Reasons Why Naira Rate Will Begin To Fall As at the time of filing this report, naira was changing for N320 to a dollar on the parallel market, and N197 to a dollar at the inter- bank rate. Utomi in the interview granted to the City People proposes Buhari and his economic team a new perspective as to the possible ways of saving the naira. He said: “ 4 months ago, I said look, the drop in oil prices will lead to some exchange rate challenge, in terms of widening gap between the official market being defended, by the Central Bank and the so called Open Market. “What we need to do very, very quickly is that we should go to a managed floating exchange rate, don’t be fastidious about saying we would not let the naira fall, let it just lie gradually. At that time the Purchasing Power Parity which is really your true exchange rate and the simplest measure of it is if you produce a product which is the same in every country, the same with exact ingredients, if it costs you N10 to produce one in Nigeria, and cost you 2 pounds to produce one in London, and cost you 3 dollars to produce one in the US. That is the exchange rate.
“How much of your currency produces that same exact thing? That is the Purchasing Power Parity (PPD). How you measure what the exchange rate is, realistic or not, is how it diverges from that PPP line. At that very point in time, a measure, that Bismark Rewane Offered, is that difference from the PPP line was only N6. So if we had allowed a managed floating exchange rate, it will depreciate gradually people won’t even notice much that anything is moving but immediately while that is happening you should recognize that you have a financing gap. You knew that this will not go on forever, you are planning to do this, you are planning to do that, you will begin to put your plan in place. Shoot term, Low hanging fruits of diversification, maybe Tourism, get customs men immigration officer to be more, service people to be more alert and sell it to travel agents abroad, longer term, factor endowment based development of value chains from different part of Nigeria to focus on 4 or 5 major endowment of Nigeria, maybe sesimieseed in middle Belt, Hydrocarbon Value Chain in the South-South, some Agric based value chain in the North West and take your game plan and go out to London, to New York, to the major financial centers this is what we are doing things are going to be ok and people will feel this guy is ok, they are doing well.”

– Senate president, Bukola Saraki pledges
to help President Muhammadu Buhari revive
Nigeria’s economy
– Professor Olugbenga Okunola extolled the
8th Senate
Senate president, Bukola Saraki promised to
help President Muhammadu Buhari revive
the economy.
Senate president, Bukola Saraki, has
promised to work with President
Muhammadu Buhari to revive Nigeria’s
economy.
Today ng reports that the Senate president
made the pledge on February 28 when he
played host to the national executive of the
Nigerian Mining and Geosciences Society
(NMGS) led by its president, Professor
Olugbenga Okunola.
In a statement issued in Abuja by his chief
press secretary, Sanni Onogu, Saraki said
the 8th Senate will cooperate with the
executive to make sure that the policies and
programmes of the present government
towards reviving the economy are sustained
on a long term.
Saraki said the Senate was on a mission to
ensure that the country harnessed her non-
oil resources and achieved full diversification
of the economy.
“For us in the 8th Senate we have said it that
our focus is to continue to give support to
those sectors of our economy that will provide
employment, increase the earnings of
government and the growth of the economy in
general.
“And if you are talking about the growth of the
economy, you have to give particular
consideration to the mining sector. And what
do we need to do to get that done? I want to
assure you that the message I will like you to
take away is that the 8th Senate is ready to
give all the support in ensuring that we truly
begin to harness the hitherto the unexplored
and neglected potentials that we have.
“We have been talking about these potentials
for a long time. It is time to talk about
realising the potentials and translating them to
economic power. how to bring. That is our
own vision and mission.
“We have all seen the downside of being a
mono-product economy. We are all suffering
from it now. When you see what is happening
to our revenues, our foreign exchange inflows
and particularly what is happening to even the
foreign exchange rate due to our over
dependence on crude oil.
“The projection that it is going to be down for
a couple of years means that any serious
minded country needs to look at the options
available. And some of the things we are
seeing now is because there is a lot of
speculation out there,” he said.
Saraki said a lot of speculators believe that
the Senate doesn’t have the political will to
see through some of the policies and
programmes aimed at diversifying the
economy, saying that is why some people
are betting against the Naira.
He said the Naira is now rebounding
because such people are beginning to
realise that the present administration is
committed on its policy.
“I want to assure you that we are committed.
The political will is there. We are very
determined to see that we diversify. All these
things you are talking about are well known to
a lot of us. The frustration has been that we
have not been able to see it through. I want to
assure you that this Senate is committed to
ensure that we support the executive in
sustaining these long term polices. This is
important and that is where we must start
from,” Saraki said.
Speaking earlier, Okunola said the society
visited Saraki to appreciate what the 8th
Senate has been doing.
“We have been talking about diversification of
the nation’s economy over the years….I think
as a society, as professionals, this is what we
have been clamouring for over the years that
we are sitting on buried riches and that the
government is now saying that they want to
take this serious gladdens us.

Lagosinurface among others
The first edition of the Lagos Barbecue
Series (LBBQs) held on Tuesday, February
23 in Ikoyi, Lagos and it was an evening of
fun, music and refreshment.
The LBBQs is basically a “meet and relate”
evening between fans and their favourite
celebrities.


Chocolate City rapper and executive MI
Abaga was the guest celebrity and
headlining artiste for the event, and he
treated fans to a cool session wherein he
provided answers to some intimate
questions revolving around him and his
career as well as Chocolate City
entertainment company in general.
The rapper connected with his fans and they
got to see him in a different light from the
enigmatic rapper on screens.
A brief and fun interview session took place
with the LBBQS hosts Dola and Dapo drilling
The Chairman with questions, most of which
he didn’t expect. He responded to these
questions and it was a fun evening.

on Twitter MI is another concept, right here MI
is an idea. This is how it goes and switches
based on the situation.”
He managed to crack the audience up with
his response on this as well as on other
questions through the night.
In response to the issue of fellow Chocolate
City rapper and label executive Ice Prince
Zamani and the allegations of his girlfriend’s
infidelity, MI said Ice Prince was a very
smart man in the whole issue.

the most logical way possible given the
issue in question which was a really good
thing.

last even though he would be relaxing on a
lot of personal projects to focus more on
running Chocolate City.

gathered on the night that he has a joint
album with Cobhams and 2Baba already
almost done, as well as a personal album

how many completed songs he has.

Arewa, fresh from a recently concluded

Naira while the rapper himself took charge

@ soulpeppersoup I support yah motion over this issue

Terry68:
price of pure water has almost nothing to do with the government. most Nigerians always take opportunity at every disaster(if am allowed) just to enable them exploit others.

I visited the village to buy a bunch of plantain but was surprise to hear an added price. when I asked the old woman selling, why the increment? she simply replied; "my Pikin call me yesterday say things don dey cost for town make I add money"

what has common plantain in d village got to do with dollar?

some things just tire person for this country.

If Plantain is Cost and you don't have the money won't you Na Wa o? please all we need is a positive change in naija coz not everyone as the money to spend, some people do manage, some don't have job, some hasn't eaten, please say what is right ....

a heated debate over the current
value of the Naira on the parallel market
– The naira has strengthened against the
dollar for the third consecutive day
-Nigerians share divided opinions on the
nation’s economy
– Governor Ambode calls for development of
local manufacturing as Femi Falana seeks
restrain orders against CBN
Reports on Wednesday, February 24,
suggested that the naira strengthened
further against the dollar on the parallel
market.
Some reports claimed that the naira traded
at about 305 to a dollar , while others
disclosed that the nation’s currency traded
between 250-270/dollar.
Goodnews it was to a teeming number of
Nigerians, however, others were of very
divergent views. Both factions took to socio-
media to air their views on the news of the
naira’s unsteady fluctuation on the parallel
market.
Below are the views of Nigerians in reaction
to the reported appreciation of the naira.
Buhari, APC-government berated
Rita Jean Rita said: “For those who claim to
love Nigeria, advise Buhari to step down or
recall okonji iwuala otherwise naira wil
continue to fall so never rejoice on this news.”
“Common pure water in my area in Ikom LG of
cross River state is now sold at N20, what a
country oh God,” Evalsam David James
lamented. Adding: “My father please come
and help us because we don’t know were
Buhari and his APC-party is taking this country
to”
Matt Oke said: “We don’t have good
commodity like the u s therefore why should
we run after the price of dollar? When you say
APC change, is this the change you talk
about?”
The appreciation of naira on Wednesday,
February 24, stirred controversy on socio-
media
McMayowa sarcastically said: “If with
corruption, 1 dollar was 180, and now without
corruption, 1 dollar is 405; then ladies and
Gentlemen, you all will agree with me that we
need corruption in this country.
#bringbackcorruption”
Positive thinkers and Prayer warrior’s corner
Dr Golden said: “They were mere
speculations, but intel from reliable source
disclose that PMB wants us to be self
sufficient by producing our made in Nigeria
matchsticks, chewing sticks to shoe made in
Aba and Ankara just to mention a few. Read
up How China and Singapore got to where
they are today.”
Gbolahan Olugbemi said: “Our oil is now sold
for $36 as against $150, Naira will continue to
fall except the price of oil jumps up. We now
have less dollars from crude oil and demand
for dollars by Naira remain d same. What
Jonathan did to suppress fall of Naira was to
spend our foreign reserves. The only country
that can assist our Naira is Saudi, if it can
reduce its supply of crude oil to increase our
supply then all may yet get back to normal”
Oby Chioma was of the opinion that some
Nigerians have a very big problem. She said:
“For the past few weeks or months everybody
was shouting dollar is high, now it is coming
down again some are asking if it will last?”
“Na wahooo!,” she stressed, adding: “I was
expecting to hear thank God for that and lets
hope for the best from some of us , but rather
from dollar now to crude oil, Okonji Iwula , we
don’t have good commodity , pure water
matter enter, agriculture follow am… Haba, no
be dollar matter again wey don come down bi
de news ?”
“Lets be praying for our country and
government too, God is still the God that rules
in our affairs,” Chioma concluded.
A certain Iyke was of the opinion that: “The
responsibility of everyone of us is to pray for
Nigeria and if I may ask, how many of us are
doing that? How many of us remember this
country in our devotional prayers? Even the
president considers this necessary yet we do
more of online attacks than to pray for our
country.”
In reaction to the economic hardship
currently being faced by Nigerians, Governor
Akinwunmi Ambode has advocated for the
development of local manufacturing as a
way of developing the economy. The Lagos
state governor expressed optimism that the
foreign exchange crisis plaguing the country
which has resulted in naira depreciation is
solvable .
Meanwhile, on Wednesday, February 24,
Femi Falana (SAN) approached the Federal
High Court in Abuja seeking an order
restraining the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN)
from allowing market forces to determine
the exchange rate of Naira. In his suit, the
human rights lawyer prays the court compels
CBN to stop the use of the United States of
America’s dollar as a legal tender in Nigeria
Naij.com urges you to let your voice be
heard on the pressing issue, what do you
think of the naira appreciation and the move
to stop the use of dollars as legal tender in
our country?

Ifeanyi Ubah, says that he has the ability
to restore $1 To 200naira against the dollar
in one month – only if consulted by the
Nigeria President Muhammadu Buhari with
the naira currently exchanging with N384 to

have the potential idea to prove his world
real
Ubah, who was speaking on Channels TV’s
Politics Today In Nigeria, said that the fall of
Naira and the rise of Dollar is not as a result
of the activities of the Bureau De Change
(BDC) operators.
“Look at the economy, look at the position
of the naira today; some of us have ideas on
how we can restore this,” he said. “Do you
know how many Burea De Change people
who food has been taken out of their
families because of this? If you say they are
the ones causing it, then where are you
today? “It needs strategic management. It
won’t take me one month, if you give me
part of that consultancy, naira would come
back to 200. “I can bet my life with it, naira
would come back to N200.
If you call me for that consultancy, I would
put naira back to 200.”
This speech Was still in consideration of
some leaders mind who heard him but all we
have to do is to keep praying to God for a
great intervention – By Anuka John

Professor Wole Soyinka has said that the
lust for power drove certain politicians to
support Boko Haram
Soyinka described the issues surrounding the
disappearance of over 200 Chibok girls as a
grievous dereliction of responsibility on the
part of the Goodluck Jonathan
administration, which was in government at
the time of their abduction.
He recalled that when the girls were first
declared missing, there was a cynical
approach to the information on their
kidnapping.
“The government refused to accept this fact
until it was too late… For at least two weeks, it
would have been possible from all reports to
rescue those girls,” he stressed.
Soyinka, who was defeated in his bid to
become the Professor of poetry at Oxford
University in the UK, attributed his defeat to
inexperience on his part.
“I think this is the first time I have really been
involved in a serious contest. I was nominated
by people and I felt that was a marvelous idea
to retire into poetry. I like what some of my
detractors said; I took it quite seriously.
“When things got a bit tough, I said listen, we
are experienced in Nigeria in electioneering, let
me bring our experts, they would rig this
election and I would emerge victorious
overnight. But they won’t listen to me and we
lost,” he responded.
In response to a question on the agitation by
some students in Oxford University for the
removal of the statue of Cecil Rhodes, the
19th century mining magnate and British
imperialist who once served as the Prime
Minister of the Cape Colony (present day
South Africa and Namibia) and later founded
Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe and Zambia), at
the Ivy League university, Soyinka said: “For
me, I am not prone to one side more than
the other. I believe very much in history.
“History is not just what is written down, it is
also culture. The painful part of history is how
a people or a community came to be.
“I told a story when I was a Fellow in Churchill
College, Cambridge, and I was there for about
a year. Every time I came down to have a
drink or go for breakfast or dinner and I saw
the statue of Winston Churchill, I had to
overcome the feeling of giving it a sharp blow
to send it crashing.
“For me, that is perfectly natural and at the
same time I must confess that academically
speaking, that this is part of the shameful and
embarrassing history,” Soyinka said.
The man-of-letters said he disliked Churchill
because he was a “master colonialist”, but
acknowledged that the British would never
subscribe to the feelings that he held
against Churchill.
He said: “I am looking at that history from my
point of view. But he is part of that history of
the United Kingdom.”
When asked on his views on racism, Soyinka
said: “Globally, Britain, America, Europe and
even their “poorer European cousins”, all
amounts to colour.
“I think we are going backwards. There was a
time when the sense of humanity became
globalised. What Martin Lurther King fought for
is not yet over.”
