The hurly burly of Lagos The hurly burly of Lagos can either bring out the best or the worst in you.   Or how else can you judge the piece below from Chinenye Uzo-Mbaukwu.   Chinenye contributed the piece as part of a discussion on “Nigeria’s wasted generations” on the WhatsApp chat group of the Society of Igbo Professionals (SIP).   We couldn’t resist bringing you the beautiful piece: “I am caught in traffic in Lekki warily watching the swarm of sweat soaked hawkers, ragged child beggars darting about like flies to press bodies against cars as though to tap energy.   “For many of the people on the street, the only way to read them is to look into their eyes because their faces are dark, blackened by the sun like an obsidian disk.

Abeokuta, always making history The ancient city of Abeokuta has always played special roles in the history of Nigeria.   Not just because of the riots that chased an Alake out of his palace.   Not just because this great ancient city has given Nigeria two Heads of State (and a two-term President).   It is because of all that and ma
