Re: USA Africa Dialogue Series - Today's Quote - The Enemies of Nigeria?

Dear Chidi,

This really hurts; I'm so sorry. My most humble apologies (although I blame it on so much confusion about the various apps and what not. I thought that I had responded to you in the Africa Lit. section and to tell you the truth , I was hopping mad when I couldn't find it after I had searched for it everywhere and thought ( forgive me) that you, like a dictator (Saddam Hussein) had impishly deleted my comment, perhaps because you didn't like it. And again, to tell you the honest truth, even then I was a little puzzled because I think that it's not at all like Chidi to delete someone's comment because he doesn't like the particular sequence of words....

Well, here it is again in all its innocuous glory:

"Highly rated" by the electorate ? The Senate? The Sycophants? Praise Singers? Pastor Adeboye? Church Choir ? Adejobi? Mosque Prayer Leaders ? Criminal Justice System? The Swedish Academy?"

To Funso Afolayan :

Ai beg, enough of negativity, pessimism and despair. Nigeria has a lot of talent when it comes to manpower qualifications ( even within the military) , to overcome all frustrations and to move Nigeria forward. When it comes to that kind of potential, the rest of Africa South of the Sahara, is second to Nigeria.

Here's one of many illustrious examples: Ben Murray-Bruce

Something to dance to : SYLVAIN LUC Nomad's Land -

Africa dance

African dance

As Patrick Wilmot wrote in that 1981 article that appeared in the Guardian  Nigerian) - about Nigeria going nuclear , we must also learn to dance  "mathematical rhythms"

(Funsho Afolayan)

Yes, we have always known them.

CAO.
