i have read thia article over and over in the past months since it was published. and it hit me so strongly. The subject of our story, is us… and am not talkin about the average nigerian striving to thrive, clutching desperately at the straw of lost values, i mean us the unfamiliar part of us… the real us. İ realise that it is almost impossible to relate unfamiliar stories to familiar ears. Because our real stories are outlandish, disappointing, full of lessons, clouded with some insanity, dotted with hurt, failures and victories… and it may sound attractive till you tell it… and no one wants to relate to it… not because they cant but because people dont think they can afford to identify with the reality they have masked. ? (its hard tellin these kind of stories u speak of eghosa)
