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 and read it this time around as a conscious soul, not a soul designed to just pass an exam.

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.

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

The Merchant of Venice

I got to the point of deliberately using movies as an extension of my library. It was 2 weeks to the exam and the book "Merchant of Venice" would not enter my skull no matter how hard I tried, it was a book written by Shakespeare and like the usual Shakespeare style of writing this would be a bit technical also because of its settings (in literature setting means the actual place and time of an event). This literature is centred around the old Italian environment. So there were many terminologies used in English that were unclear because of the Italian twist. Don't forget it was 2 weeks before the WAEC (West African Examination Council) Exam. The Twist - So my beautiful literature teacher got informed that there was a premiere of the Merchant of Venice book (the movie) at another school and gave us the update. It was the needed update very sure than any 'maga or fraudsters' update would rely on. It was a turning point in how I would begin seeing and interacting w
