USA Africa Dialogue Series - Re: Not absolutely crazy : Some self-control in moderating our own words

Chidi,

Isn't the criticism of poetry an everyday affair?

Again, I was only joking; it's not meant as a personal attack on anybody. Some of my best friends are my most useful critics...

Last night as in that song by Brian Wilson : Child child is father of the man

I watched Seun Kuti on Mezzo

Here's something else : Homage to Fela Kuti

I'm going on holidays ( London, Casablanca Jerusalem ) and won't be back to the forum until after Santa Claus gives me a present . And don't forget that our beloved moderator's birthday is on 1st January , just in case you want to slap or kiss him with the truth or ( smile)  just like me you want to wish him a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year in advance...

Mazi Cornelius,
You are overemphasising the Obi Nwakamma comments on Odia Ofeimum's poems. That was just his (Obi Nwakamma's) personal opinion and he is entitled to it.

CAO.
