1. Many people recoil when you tell them about the holocaust. And rightly so. But when you tell them about the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade and colonialism, they tell you to "get over it."
2. Many African scholars are silent or indifferent to the iniquities being committed by African leaders. But whenever there is a coup, they can't stop shouting and theorizing.
3. When was the last time you poured libation for your ancestors?
4. In 1985 Charles Taylor escaped prison in Massachusetts, crosses into Mexico, and then heads to Liberia. Who made it possible?
5. Biafra or O'odua Nation? The idea of dividing Nigeria into separate entities is nothing but mere fantasy. Nigeria is indivisible.
6. Don't let them tell you "Money can't buy love or happiness or that money is the root of all evil." There is nothing $$$ can't buy.
7. Trump tasted presidential power and won't let go. Now he is like some gods in antiquity who became ravenous once they tasted blood.
