Sizwe Banzi is Dead

  "Sizwe Banzi is Dead" - A play that exposed the apartheid system in South Africa. How people who were taught this in school, are not awakened is still a bother. Well, the banking educational system did the damage with partnerships from some of its cohorts also. In the book, Modern Africa Drama - Adefolaju Adeseke explained the plot of the drama "Apartheid policy which is the political system by which different races co-exist within the same nation but do not have equal political, social, and economic rights, (Oyetunde in Fugard et al: 1991) negates the fundamental human rights of black people. In apartheid South Africa, blacks did not have the right to participate in politics, good employment opportunities, and qualitative education. The blacks could not move freely in areas designated for the whites; they could not attend the same church with the whites let alone shopping in the same supermarket with them." My plea go back to the African written plays, and novels

Agba No Sense

'Agba ki n wa loja, ko ri omotutun wo' - An elder cannot be present without producing the much-needed order even in the most disorganized places.  The question is where are our elders(political, religious, economic, etc)?  And don't get it twisted, by the result we can see, we have only produced old people (void of wisdom - extremely daft people with numbers on their side), and our people understand elders not just as numbers, but with wisdom playing an essential part of being an elder. If you like just continue in the part of these charlatans to age, no go get sense... There is no respect for a wasteful past - maybe young stupid folks like them but not from me definitely.

Time Validates

Hey there. Let's set the alarm for a productive day ahead. Before diving in, let's acknowledge the date, which might vary depending on where you're tuning in from. Now, let's get to it. But first, a word on the political and economic landscape here in Nigeria. It's crucial to recognize that the political elite often prioritizes their own interests over those of the people. Trusting them blindly is akin to living in a cycle of déjà vu, where they justify their actions while contradicting the interests of the people. Remember the proposal some time back that all politicians should educate their kids within Nigeria? The dismissive response to that idea was telling. It's clear they prioritize their own convenience over the needs of the people. We mustn't be naive to think they have our best interests at heart. It's imperative for us, the citizens, to organize and protect our own interests. Unity among us is paramount, transcending divisions based on religion
