| The Duck Dynasty Fiasco Says More About Our Bigotry Than Phil's |
| Why is our go-to political strategy for beating our opponents to silence them? Why do we dismiss, rather than engage them? |

The Louvre
Some modern monuments are right under most tourists’ noses, in the
city’s historic center. One of the newest is the Louvre’s Islamic Art

This prescriptive wish list reminds us of the gap between theory and practice in Nigerian politics; it makes you pine for the likes of Achebe to govern. But sadly, he's not writing a manifesto; instead, we have in There Was A Country an elegy from a master storyteller who has witnessed the undulating fortunes of a nation, which – unlike young "Dictionary" – has yet to fulfil its potential.
In "The Leopard," when the Prince is hunting near the fictional Donnafugata, really Santa Margherita, he looks out over the landscape and sees it "aridly undulating to the horizon in hillock after hillock, comfortless and irrational, with no lines that the mind could grasp, conceived apparently in a delirious moment of creation; a sea suddenly petrified when a change of wind had flung the waves into a frenzy."
