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

Yèyé

“Iya Oyo,” I called, after polishing the bowl of amala she made for me, “what does Yèyé mean? Is it different from Ìyá, which means mother?”

It was Baba Oyo who answered me, raising his glasses and looking up from a book without a cover that he was reading. Because I had also read that book on his table, I knew the book was titled “Ogboju Ode Ninu Igbo Irunlole,” by D.O. Fagunwa, one of the old books he had in his library.

When a man is talking.

ByMoyo Okediji

“When a man is talking, the woman must shut up,” the young bricklayer was yelling. His colleague confirmed, “Yes, this is man to man talk. You need to keep quiet and let us settle this matter.”

My jaw was hanging in disbelief. I’ve been away too long from Nigeria. Nobody spoke to and about women like this when I was growing up. Now these young men drooling blasphemous vomit, where did they drop from? Am I hearing these statements, or am I dreaming? Is it just my imagination, or what?
