Where is Mama Nigeria?

ByMoyo Okediji

Where is Mama Nigeria?

Is the nation motherless?

Where is the Helen Sirleaf Johnson of Nigeria?

Where is her champion?

Are there no women in Nigeria to intervene and save Nigeria from the testosterone-driven men who have been running Nigeria since 1960, and have only brought woe, poverty, disillusionment and hunger on the country?

Where is Mama Nigeria?

A conversation between the publisher of the Sahara Online media, and a minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

The debate has started for the soul of Nigeria.

Ẹyẹ: Bird

Ẹyẹ: Bird I told Iya Oyo that I was scared when a couple of birds perched on top of the large tree in front of the house and were making loud sounds, one calling and the other responding.“You are afraid of birds?” Iya Oyo asked me.“Yes,” I said. “My playmates told me they are witches, àjẹ́.”

LOVE AND HATE

LOVE AND HATE

ByMoyo Okediji

Our generation is the “love” generation.

How?

We choose people to “fall in love” with and may even marry them.

The children of those born this year

will not endure the pangs of love and romance.

Two generations ago, families organized marriages for people.

It was not about love.

Muhamadu Buhari, the president of our terminally sick Nigeria, just did what soldiers have been doing since I was ten years old—he kicked out some old soldiers, and replaced them with some old soldiers.

Buhari kicked out Chief of Defence Staff, General Abayomi Olonisakin;

Chief of Army Staff, Lt-Gen. Tukur Buratai;

Chief of Naval Staff, Vice Admiral Ibok Ekwe Ibas;

and Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar.

or a living.

As an art historian, I talk for a living.

Politicians, lawyers, teachers and other professionals also make a living from talking.

But many people actually have to make something to earn a living.
