Food for Thought

My mates at the secondary school called me a foodie.

They served us starvation grade food in the hostels where we were warehoused, and we were always hungry.

The only grace was that there were lots of ill-fated weevils (kòkòrò) cooked with our beans providing us enough animal protein to supplement the plant protein in the beans.

The campaigns for election into the office of the presidency in Nigeria have already begun.

Let us not forget our women and children who suffer under the yoke of patriarchal rule in Nigeria.
