Nigeria: O Tempora O Mores, Sic Transit Gloria Mundi



Nigeria: O Tempora O Mores, Sic Transit Gloria Mundi

There is an epidemic of intellectual ignorance among the majority of Nigerians in Nigeria, including those who claim to be graduates of tertiary institutions, but are still intellectually challenged in logical and rational analysis of the vicissitudes of life and the essence of human civilization. 

Then there is a facade of conceit and deceit by the elites who are posing and posturing in affluence and opulence of the luxuries of the status symbols of their hypocritical society.
Money can buy lifestyle of luxury.
But money cannot buy class.
You don't need to be rich to have class.
You cannot have class without dignity, integrity and nobility.
You must appreciate the high values of the virtues of life.

A Fraudster can afford to live in a palatial mansion and buy expensive posh cars and SUVs and fly on private jets and dress in Gucci, Dior, Armani.and Versace and drink Champagne. But the Fraudster is still beneath the men and women of dignity, integrity and nobility.
All that glitters is not gold.

You must understand the difference between a life of pretence and a life that is the true essence of human existence.
You must know the difference between fallacy and legacy.

In the next 100 to.1000 years in the world if the Earth is still in existence, students.and scholars will be reading and studying Wole Soyinka and his peers and the intelligentsia of our generation. But all the mobs of the intellectually retarded and multitudes of this generation would be forgotten in the sands of time. 
I know the time frame of everyone and everything in Nigeria and the rest of the world in the history of civilization.

Everyone has a story.
But not everyone will make history.

NFT of A Fulani Woman in Lagos

New #NFT

Portrait of A Nomadic Fulani Woman in Lagos

This is an itinerant nomadic Fulani woman who is a native herbalist hawking on the streets of Lagos in Nigeria. I met with her in front of my office on Thursday April 28, 2011. She allowed me to photograph her and she is just one of the numerous nomadic Hausa Fulani women who have been hawking medicinal herbs for decades. She was articulate and bold as we discussed in Pidgin English.
