Good news!!!!

We are the last of the broke Africans.

Believe it or not: by the end of this century, every fourth person in the world will be an African. It means that one out of every four humans will be an African.

By the middle of this century—a mere 32 years away—Nigeria will be one of the five most populous nations in the world. And Africa will contribute the largest proportions to the middle and upper middle class in the world.

Nollywood will overtake Hollywood as the numero uno film industry.

And the Lagos Music Award will be where it’s at.

Africa is where to invest now.

You really can’t lose this bet if you buy Africa now.

Why?

Because we are the last of the broke Africans.

NB

Africa will not charge a huge interest when we lend Europe money for development in 2060

In the first week of January 1968, at the tender age of 11, I was torn from my mother’s warm bosom and tossed into a boarding house.

That was the day my depression started.

And it continues even now, more than fifty years later.

I am not alone. It happened to my entire generation.

My depressive experience is typical of all of us between the ages of seventy-five and fifty.

This depression is typical of all of us who are the “elites” of Nigeria.

He almost made it into 2019. I wonder what stopped him.

The last of the soft kleptomaniacs and kleptocrats?

In his days, politicians stole in hundreds of thousands of naira. Or a few couples of million naira.

They were soft kleptomaniacs and kleptocrats.

Now we have hardcore kleptomaniacs and kleptocrats.

The Hausa did not name us Yorùbá.

ByMoyo Okediji

The Hausa did not name us Yorùbá.

The Hausa cannot even pronounce Yorùbá.

They say they pejoratively called us Yarubawa and we creatively changed it to Yorùbá. Rárá o. It’s the other way round.

We call ourselves Yorùbá and they pejoratively call us Yarubawa.

To be able to pronounce Yorùba correctly, you must understand the nuances of our triptych intonation.

CAMPUS TALES

CAMPUS TALES

She said, “I’m certain I’m not a C grade material,” she complained to me. “During my School certificate exam, I scored A grades in most of my courses, and was admitted to the university. Once there, I attended all the lectures, studied really hard and was always ready for the exams. But then, whenever I got my scripts back, I always scored a C grade. I became curious and confused because my friends who did not study, partied throughout the semester and paid no attention to classes, always scored A and B+ grades.”
