Don't Blame It on Ake: April 17, 2023

The Ills of 1963/Treasonable Felony Trial Live.

If the Yoruba race was a country at independence, his revolution would have been televised, paving the way for real sovereignty and the restoration of a great nation-state.

And if Nigeria was a country, with one tribe, one culture, one language, and faith-neutral pre- and post-independence, his revolution would still have been televised. And second colonialism discredited and aborted, paving the way for real sovereignty and the restoration of a great nation-state.

Until the Nigerian question - the essence of it being a geographical expression - is accepted, and the unitary model is disrupted, thus enabling a healthy competitive spirit among the federating units, don't blame whatever impasse on Ake. The ills of the 1963/Treasonable Felony trial (unhealthy rivalry) live, they are rooted in intolerance.

Anyway, thank God he didn't bid for this. The Nobel Foundation believes he deserves it. Congratulations, once again, Sir. And congratulations also for the successful invasion of a radio state. About 60 years later, the record remains unbroken.
