Tomorrow (Sunday, October 1, 2023) is our National Day. Nobody will be clicking celebratory glasses on the day. To do that will be to celebrate something akin to failure. To do that will be to see any development or any figure that is not in the negative as a pass mark. To do that will be to set the lowest of bars and have the lowest of self-esteem. It wasn’t always so. The bar we set for ourselves and the nation at independence was high.

Patty was in pain, deep searing pain. She was not supposed to be in this place, end up at this sorry pass. She gave Alhaji her all, the relationship her everything. Relationship? Was what they had even worth calling a relationship because looking back from her balcony of grief, all she could see now was a one-winged flight that eventually crashed spectacularly. The pain wracking her body and soul was made worse by the feeling of foolishness. You know how you feel when you finally realised you’ve been used, had, taken advantage of and you allowed it all happen, with your eyes wide open.
