Sound sultan who sang Ajo o dabi Ile was buried in a foreign land...that one really touch me... We can only HOPE for a better NIGERIA. GOD helping us!!!
Great writing as always Stephen. I am glad you are putting yourself first and taking time off to rest. I am sending you a thousand virtual flowers. You have earned it. There is nothing celebratory about Nigeria's independence day and I must add that Nigerians are too occupied fighting hunger and trying to earn more as our economy declines to worry about people dying and various injustices left, right, center, everywhere really. Na who don chop get power to fight. Our leaders know this and use it to control the masses. I don't blame those who love Nigeria from afar. It is exhausting. However, I am cautiously optimistic as you are. We can only try after all. Enjoy your recess. I can't wait to hear what exciting things you decide to do in the next phase of your life. Cheers to clarity.
Thank you very much for these words Miriam, they are warmly received.
People wonder why I maintain a measure of optimism despite everything happening around. One way I like to respond is that the only way from where we are at the moment is up. When one is seated at the bottom of the table, the only focus is up. So I'm setting my eyes on the future albeit cautiously.
Even I am unsure of what happens next, but I'm going one day at a time. Small wins here and there that would hopefully build up to greater successes. I simply won't allow myself to be dejected. We will press on and we will overcome, surely.
