Comment on Nigeria: a Nation?? at 51 by King Sunny21

I quite agree with the view expressed here. But then the the person who made the statement ‘Nigeria is a state, not yet a nation’ does not quite understand that even a country is also a state especially when it mentioned as part of an entity in a regional organization say AU, ECOWAS, UN e.t.c. For me one must first understand something before even uttering a word. A state also mean part of a nation in the case of the 36 states of Nigeria as well as other countries that divide their countries into states rather than other countries that divide their countries into larger regions or provinces.

So whether Nigeria is a State or a Nation as stated in this article, one need to understand that being in democracy in 12 years cannot undo or repair the damages that the military regimes have brought upon us. Remember that Countries Like USA, China, Britain (UK), Germany, France, Japan e.t.c have either gained independence for a long time or have being in self – democratic governance for a long time. So you can not compare them with Nigeria, which just gained independence in 1960 and is now its 12-year streak of democracy.

Comment on Editorial: Short Works by For Maurice Sendak « ktravula – a travelogue!

For Maurice Sendak « ktravula – a travelogue! — Sat, 12 May 2012 05:41:10 +0000

[...] My editorial commentary in the current issue of Nigerianstalk Litmag briefly touched on the passing of children’s writer Maurice Sendak. Like Dr. Seus, I didn’t know much about Mr. Sendak until I came to the United States, and one of my most remarkable contact with him was through Stephen Colbert in a very recent, every affecting interview (as if either of them knew how short a time the writer had left. He died at 83 on Tuesday). Maurice is the author of the popular children’s book Where the Wild Things Are. He admitted to Colbert that he didn’t see himself much as a “children’s” writer but as someone whose work has been accepted as appealing to children. The second part of that interview is here. [...]
