Midway into my secondary school days, the Pacesetter series came up. Passing from hand to hand, we couldn’t get hold of enough of these novels. That was back in the early 1980s. Back then we had the African Writers Series as well, but the Pacesetters series was more appealing.

#Nigeria is choked up with jungles of suspicion & hatred. Let's clear this jungle.

Irrespective of tribe/religion, take a stand against injustice, and govt criminality.

We intermarry, do businness, & have lived together for ages.

For the children's sake, Stop 👉perpetuating cycles of hatred.

By selling democracy and governance issues short, London and Washington have inadvertently undermined their countries’ own interests in political stability, peace and security, socio-economic development, good governance, climate resilience, and expanded trade and investment. https://bit.ly/3C5ccry

No matter how much prop-ups, airlines don"t fly on hurriedly painted colorful wings. Dismiss the naysayers if you wish, but only "bushmen" who have never seen or taken any flight will be dazed by those borrowed colorful wings.

Don't get me wrong. By all means Air Nigeria should succeed. Amen. But let's start by telling ourselves the truth. Because, even kindergarteners can put one and one together.

The devil, who is cunning, took to hating man; man, who is even more cunning, took to loving woman. In this way, he did himself more good than the devil did him harm.

Victor Hugo (1802 - 1885)

“When we allow immature and irresponsible humans to thrive on someone’s good name, they will destroy it along with the channel it is flowing from.” Turning directly to face Paul, he said, “meaning you. Your good name is tarnished, and you will have to fight and pay a high price to retain it.”

Do not sacrifice your personal morality in other to gain group acceptance. Group conformity could be counterproductive to the social good. Know when to follow the norm or reject it. Never sacrifice fundamental personal freedoms for the promise of security because the sacrifices are real and immediate while the shield of future security is a distant illusion.
