Now, concerning the Queen...
Dear Nigerian student,
I understand that you must have at this point read up a couple history about the queen's contribution to colonialism
And that your body just won't stop shaking until you air an opinion view on what Leopold Senghor, Ngugi Wa Thiong'o, Fanon and Soyinka said concerning somebody's contribution to anti-colonial struggles
As per scholar that you are na!
Calm down ehn, learn to have what I like to call second order thinking
Oh, it's quite simple!
Just whenever you're compelled to air an opinion, any opinion
Ask this question
“ And then what?”
"What will the consequences of this look like in 10 months? Or in 10 years?"
You see where I'm going with this now, don't you?
Good!
Feel free to have that conversation in your head or in the corner of your room with the roommate who has like you, refused to complete yet another online course
But whatever happens, do not air your unchecked thoughts on this unforgiving space called the internet!
Please!
It is my hope and job via this platform, that you will one day get selected for international opportunities, be asked to give a speech at WTO, or become a CommonWealth representative
The internet is like the standard Nigerian girlfriend you know; it doesn't forget
Life is a game of snakes and ladders, and this, my good friend, is one hell of a Python!
One way to cup the vawulence (violence) brewing in you, is to like the dear Queen, jejely rest in perfect peace
