There is a Yoruba proverbs that says: k'é̩ni iwájú má d'ẹni ẹ̀yìn. Around 1953, South Korea was described as an “impoverished nation”. During the regional system of Nigeria, the Western region, under the premiership of the sage Awolowo, South Korea used to seek advice and recommendation from the western region.
South Korea was among the (new) nations Awolowo used to send delegates to, to educate them about development, governance, etc. That was then.
Imagine what we would have become by now, where we would be, if this system had continued from then till date.
Alas, now, South Korea has to come and be educating us about what our pry-sec. school pupil should know. Apparently, the advice comes from what South Korea is seeing us do.
America really went into a country. Killed scores. Kidnapped the President. And is now siphoning its oil.
The world is silent.
If Venezuelans organize & fight back, attacking US interests, they’ll be labeled “t3rrorists”, correct?

So, where did Francis Duru get his story of "Igbos built Nollywood but Yorubas have become dominant" from?
Canon Josiah Jesse Ransome-Kuti, the first Nigerian to release a recorded music album.
He released the 43-track album in 1925 under Zonophone Records (now part of Warner Music Group).
Fela was born in 1938. Music runs in the Kuti family, but it didn't start with Fela.
Fela studied music at the Trinity College of Music in London, specifically composition and music theory.
If you've ever wondered how Fela could perfectly perform complex, multi-layered arrangements for up to 45 minutes, here's your answer.
