EventsRe: Remembering FESTAC 77, Nigeria's Biggest Party by Reflect7(op):
FESTAC VILLAGE

I remember FESTAC VILLAGE as it was when it was first built for the 20,000 black diaspora who stormed Nigeria for the event. From Ghana, South Africa, Malawi, Tanzania, Kenya, Ethiopia, Jamaica, USA, Barbados, Cuba, Brazil, Antigua, Haiti, Trinidad & Tobago, Guyana, Grenada, Bahamas, etc etc.

When you entered FESTAC then, it was like somewhere in Los Angeles! Clean roads with sidewalks, and folks strolling around, taking pictures etc.

IN FACT, THE WHOLE OF LAGOS WAS BUBBLING. YANKEE PEOPLE EVERYWHERE, IN THE CLUBS, BARS, HOTELS, RESTAURANTS, THE BEACH, THE STREETS, EVERYWHERE.


Facilities

''A housing estate known as Festac Village was constructed as accommodation for about 17,000 participants. However, the long-term objective of the village under the Federal Housing Programme was to relieve some of the housing pressure in Lagos. The housing estate was proposed for construction within two years, with more than 40 contractors working on different sites of the project. In total 5,088 dwelling units were built prior to the festival and an additional 5,687 were to be completed by the end of 1977. During the festival, the housing estate was the venue for performance rehearsals and interaction by participants as various troupes rehearsed their routines in the day and at night.

For hosting the performances and lectures, a state-of-the-art multipurpose national theatre was built, to serve also as a lasting centre of African art and culture. The theatre's design was based on the Palace of Culture and Sports in Varna, Bulgaria. The new complex had two exhibition halls, a 5,000-capacity performance and event hall, a conference hall with 1,600 seats and two cinema halls. The theatre hosted dance, music, art exhibitions, cinema, drama and the colloquium.'' - Wiki

EventsRemembering FESTAC 77, Nigeria's Biggest Party by Reflect7(op):
''In early 1977, more than 15,000 artists, intellectuals, and performers from 55 nations worldwide gathered in Lagos, Nigeria for the Second World Black and African Festival of Arts and Culture, also known as FESTAC ‘77. Taking place in the heyday of Nigeria’s oil wealth and known as one of the largest cultural and political events in the history of decolonisation, the event was the peak of Pan-Africanist expression.''

''Festac '77, also known as the Second World Black and African Festival of Arts and Culture (the first was in Dakar, 1966), was a major international festival held in Lagos, Nigeria, from 15 January 1977 to 12 February 1977. The month-long event celebrated African culture and showcased to the world African music, fine art, literature, drama, dance and religion. About 16,000 participants, representing 56 African nations and countries of the African Diaspora, performed at the event.

Artists who performed at the festival included Stevie Wonder from the United States, Gilberto Gil from Brazil, Bembeya Jazz National from Guinea, Mighty Sparrow from Trinidad and Tobago, Les Ballets Africains, South African Miriam Makeba, and Franco Luambo Makiadi.

At the time it was held, it was the largest Pan-African gathering to ever take place.

The official emblem of the festival was a replica crafted by Erhabor Emokpae of the royal ivory mask of Benin. The hosting of the festival led to the establishment of the Nigerian National Council of Arts and Culture, Festac Village and the National Theatre, Iganmu, Lagos. Most of the events were held in four main venues: the National Theatre, National Stadium, Surulere, Lagos City Hall and Tafawa Balewa Square.

- Wiki

........................

FESTAC '77 was a big deal when it happened.

A very big deal nationally and internationally.


In fact they were doubts internationally as to whether an African country could successfully host such a gigantic international event.

This was right in the middle of the great Nigerian Oil Boom of the 1970s which saw the once agrarian nation rise to become one of the Africa's leading powers.

At its helm, Lt. General Olusegun Obasanjo, who had succeeded only a year earlier, the assassinated nationalist military leader, Gen Murtala Ramat Muhammed.

The US civil rights movement of the 1960s which culminated in the assassination of Dr Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X in the USA had a reverberating effect across the black world, with African history, Pan Africanism, and the call to identify with African consciousness, the predominant voice of black discourse leading through the 1970s.

In fact at this time, the apartheid regime was in power in South Africa, with Nelson Mandela and other activists in jail in Robben Island, as the regime received tacit support from the United States and Britain.

It was an era in which the black identity needed desperately to be reaffirmed on this Earth.

In stepped the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Nigeria's oil wealth provided a practical means of expressing those world black ideals and objectives in FESTAC '77, and the country executed it to perfection, in a memorable celebration of blackness that lived in the minds of the world for many years afterwards, and continues to influence the Pan Africanist movement to this day.

But FESTAC '77 was not all smooth sailing. Nigeria being Nigeria, there was disagreement as to the cost of the event, and the ways the funds were used etc etc.

Afrobeat legend and social crusader, Fela Kuti drove around in this battered Volkswagen during that time, to highlight the plight of the masses, even as the Obasanjo regime soldiered on in its determination to host a credible, successful FESTAC, and place Nigeria at the height of international reckoning.

Nosayer:
This thing seems to pain you this much?


Were you this pained when Buhari left Nigeria to Britain to tell the whole world "Nigerian youths are lazy, always looking for free money"?


Were you this pained when Buhari made known his biases against the Igbos when je said "I can't treat the ones that gave me 5% and the ones that gave me 97% the same way".


Y'all be ranting because someone made a choice that has no national value and the President and his gang have been making bad choices with generational consequences for the entire nation, all these your reasoning didn't come to play.

You know one thing about authors, most of their actions are ideologically based including their works. If you understand that clearly, you'd know that Adichie didn't do that because of morality (she's not that qualified), she did that because of her solidarity with her own people who feel mistreated by Buhari.
But her people were mistreated more by the AMERICANS.

Are you aware how many millions of Igbos were carted off as slaves and how many were thrown out into the open sea when the ships started to leak?

Over a 400 year period?

More recently, did the US allies, the British, not supply arms and fighter jets to the Nigerian govt to prosecute the Biafran war, which killed millions of ''her people''?

So why is she collecting awards from all these countries which were instrumental to the suffering of her people?

Or is she unaware of the nefarious roles these nations have played in the history of ''her people''?

In fact those imperialist powers are the REAL threats to her people, as they prop up the local stooges who implement their imperialist agenda.

Adichie frowns upon, and shuns the local stooges, while sucking up to the REAL Imperialist oppressors who pull the strings, and gleefully accepts their awards.

Why?
PoliticsRe: The Hypocrisy Of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie by Reflect7(op):
gidgiddy:
Can you truly compare America, Canada, Uk and Australia with Nigeria? If we are to follow your logic, nobody would recieve any award from any country in the world as there are no Saints

However, when you talk about Nigeria and these other countries, when you compare human rights, human development, democracy, rule of law, quality if life, security and capital development between these countries and a country like Nigeria, you will weep

Nigeria has become poverty capital of the world, second most terrorised country on earth, ranks low on human rights and the rule of law

So I dont blame Ngozi Adichie for not accepting the award, she probably felt that an award from such a failed country was meaningless, and I agree with her
This is your inferiority complex talking.

Leave aside the fact that Nigeria is a developing country like 80% of countries on Earth, with an annual budget of 38 billion dollars compared to the USA's 7.6 trillion dollars (making comparisons between the two truly foolish), there are MANY indices you can judge Nigeria by, which are not negative. Africa's largest economy with a GDP of 1.2 trillion dollars calculated by Purchasing Power Parity, the largest and fastest growing middle class in Africa, largest film industry, largest music, fashion and entertainment industry, 4th most powerful military after Egypt, SA, and Morocco, startup and tech capital of Africa, major sporting power of Africa, the cultural capital of Africa, Africa's best educated population and a rising manufacturing power, with substantial manufacturing plants in the motor vehicle industry, ship building, chemicals, iron and steel, petrochemicals, fertilizer, urea, and other sectors. A country projected to become the 3rd most populous nation on Earth after China and India by 2050, meaning she is a veritable magnet for world class level investment in the decades ahead.

There is a LOT to be positive about Nigeria and its prospects if you and Adichie cast aside your endless disgruntlement, bitterness, and holier-than-thou pretend piety predicated on nothing.

My opinion though.
Oh, so it's not a question of 'principle' then?

If it's really a question of political convenience etc, that's different, but she predicates her shunning of Nigerian awards on PRINCIPLE and her 'VALUES'.

So the question remains, are her values and principles limited to what goes on in that tiny space of the world called NIgeria?

They almost did it during COVID 19, let's hope something worse doesn't come again. That is when you will know that you don't have a Government. They're just in Abuja to share money. That's why your country doesn't have any survivial model. There's nothing to protect you from diseases or even alien invasions. Does Lai Mohammad know anything about alien invasions??

Her mentor, Achebe was the same. He rejected Nigerian awards but received awards from all these imperialist countries - Britain, USA, France, Australia, Canada etc.

These are the same countries that enslaved Africans, colonised and looted African resources for over 500 years.

Countries that today retain the looted funds by their stooges in power in Africa, and refuse to return them.

Countries that allow their banks to serve as Accessories After Theft by receiving and storing looted African funds.

Countries that hold and exhibit our looted ancient artefacts and treasures in their museums, from the Benin bronzes to the Ife bronzes, and refuse to return them despite repeated appeals by the Nigerian government.

So HOW is it that you can be receiving awards from these countries whose crimes against humanity are on a whole different scale entirely, while rejecting national awards from your own country?

What did Nigeria do to you that those countries did not do 1000 times more of?

TAKING AWARDS FROM THEM IS THE VERY HEIGHT OF HYPOCRISY.

The hands of the genocidal criminal Tyrant Buhari is soaked with the pure blood of thousands of innocent Nigerian civilians brutally murdered by this bloodthirsty killer.

Sometimes, I wondered if some people are senseless. Peter Obi, to me, seems not strategic enough. It's evidently clear that the south is 90% rooting for him, so, why picking a southerner as his DG. He should know that the north don't outrightly trust the south, especially the Igbos, at the moment. So, to succeed, they (north) needs to be pacified, so as to gain their trust, love and support. That list, to be very honest, is too south-inclined. How does he intend to earn their trust, if from the beginning, he's encircling himself with the southerners. That list doesn't speak of inclusiveness. If there's anything that can be done about that list, it better be done now, before it will negatively ploriferate the minds of the northern electorates.
Well spoken.

Surely, Obi and his team must have known the outcry that would follow such a skewed list, so why go ahead and do it?
