I now pronounce you husband and wife.

ByMoyo Okediji

‘I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may now remove your corona masks and kiss.”

It must be so hard to be a dater now, with your libido on fire.

How are these young folks expected to cope now, in the era of corona?

Or are we now all reduced to just online dating, exchanging emojis and gifs?

And when you find a perfect partner online, how do you meet to nurture your romance? You are actually going to hug….and kiss a stranger!!!!

You better just exchange selfies and forget it–says your doctor.

Self-isolate, my friend.

SOJA GO, SOJA COME

ByMoyo Okediji

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.

***This is a story that my Luo friend told me. She says it’s from among the Luo people of Kenya.

In Yoruba we call it “Àǹfààní àdúgbò.”

Please help me translate Àǹfààní àdúgbò to Oyinbo.

Wife 1: Our husband has not yet returned home?

In the United States, the Zoom classroom is becoming the norm in an abnormal world.

It’s unbelievable that the death toll in the United States is nearing the 250,000 number.

That sort of figure is beyond imagination—one-quarter of a million people dead.

How does one wrap one’s mind around that sort of number, in terms of fallen heroes in a single war that has not yet even lasted one year?.

Whereas in Africa, hardly anyone is dying.

When last week the press reported the fall of Jerry Rawlings to the pandemic, it was so shocking, because in Nigeria, everybody is wining, dining, partying, and marketing as if nothing is going on, and everything is honky-dory.
