You are the living word

“THE TRUE PATRIOT”
(He Slumped And Never Got Up)

Fatherless at age 5, his mother saved to send him to Italy to study because of his exceptional brilliance.

By 23 he already had both LL.B(Bachelors Degree) & LL.M(Masters Degree) in Law and at 25 he was going for his Doctorate in law then something happened!!!

The year is 1966 and the country is Nigeria. A Murtala Mohammed led mutiny had just eliminated the then HoS, Aguiyi Ironsi. Murtala & Co weren’t planning to lead Nigeria, they just wanted vengeance for northern leaders killed earlier in Jan. The plan was simple: burn everything

A firm belonging to the son of Nigeria’s president-elect bought an $11 million London mansion that his predecessor’s government was seeking to confiscate as part of a corruption probe, documents show https://t.co/It0nNGfHrd

Once you leave Nigeria and step away from being fully immersed in Nigerianness you realize how much extreme violence has been normalized in interpersonal relations, even among friends and family, talk less of strangers. Verbal violence, physical violence, sexual violence.

Someone somewhere is wide awake drafting a 'Dear Chimamanda' rebuttal full of ethnic baiting non sequiturs.

[Whole Women Network Co-op @wwncoop]

Chimamanda Adichie's article ought to be shared like bulletin, & as mini booklets to all. Schools, Religious places, Markets, Blogs, Tiktok, read on radio in excerpts, animated versions, translated to different languages, including pidgin, to all town unions, Prof associations,..

Dear @NGRSenate, if you're going to pass a bill preventing doctors from getting licensed till 5 years have passed

Kindly pass another bill preventing any serving government official from accessing healthcare outside the country until their service have elapsed

Good for goose...

While the igbos should start thinking of investing in the east & stop accepting that rinse, repeat & rinse strategy they do by inciting tribal division & begging everytime, listen to what he said.

Think home

Before I go to bed, I want to remind Nigerians, especially, ndị Igbo, something. It is history. At this point in my life, I ain't scared of stating the obvious.

The January 15th 1966 coup was championed by junior officers, across Nigeria. But they called it Igbo coup.

[Kili Kili Star ✨ @Zioraife]

I used to wonder why okporoko isn't as popular in other Nigerian tribes' cuisine as it is in the Igbo cuisine.

Found out it's because Norway would ship okporoko to us during the genocide to provide protein towards curbing Kwashirokor that was ravaging Biafran children.

[Whole Women Network Co-op @wwncoop]

I love that #EBEANO Supermarket is thinking globally, beyond Nigeria. This is the mindset I hope more of us cultivate - to build excellent brands locally and then expand them internationally.

EBEANO Supermarket🛒 is currently in Canada in the city of St Catharines, and growing.

Those who tell you 'Do not put too much politics in your art' are not being honest. If you look very carefully you will see that they are the same people who are quite happy with the situation as it is. What they are saying is don't upset the system." - Chinua Achebe

[Wale Lawal @WalleLawal]

You’d think that after the civil war most people would know that nobody benefits from tribalism but here we are. An entire region’s wealth was wiped out and seized and as horrific as that is, if we’re serious people, we should also be asking ourselves where all that wealth went.

[Ukamaka Olisakwe; Or, Ngalakwesili @MsOlisakwe]

During the '91 Bonnke riots in Kano, my dad escaped a lynching by pretending he wasn't Igbo. While he was running for his life, I watched a mob behead a man. I was barely 9 years old.

Today, Nigerians are being disenfranchised in Lagos because they look "Igbo."

I'm so angry.

Basically a summary of EVERY conversation you’ll have with anybody who supported the nonsense that happened yesterday.
