USA Africa Dialogue Series - Re: [Naijaintellects] Re: THE OJUKWU WILL: TO MEA

Nebu:

By the way, one can understand the otherwise inscrutable Bianca
phrasing "this time around" only under the notion that there was an
earlier will (rumored or real) that was more disappointing to her
than the present one, but presumably one that did not mention the
mysterious Ms. Haman. Also Jubilee Hotel is apparently now called
"New Salama Suites", so it may be more swank than you knew it back in
1987.

There you have it.
