I was watching the evening news on Monday night when two presenters used a word at different times that jolted me. I’ve heard and seen that word used often, especially by millennials and Gen Z, but I didn’t entirely pay heed because they were mostly in informal settings.

I was vacationing in the United States of America with my family in October of 2024 (in addition to some work on the Harris-Walz Campaign) when I received confirmation about the dates of the upcoming celebrations of Professor Ibrahim Agboola Gambari's 80th birthday. There would first be a public presentation of a festschrift in his honor in Ilorin on November 21, 2024. Then there would be a commemorative event at the Savannah Centre in Abuja (the headquarters of the Savannah Centre for Diplomacy, Democracy and Development), which Gambari founded and established. And then there would be the grand finale on November 24, 2024 - the actual 80th anniversary date of his eventful birth.

“Even the darkest night will end and the sun will rise” - Victor Hugo (in "Le Hus Miserables").
Is Biafra an idea whose time has come? Victor Hugo (26 February, 1802 - 22 May, 1885) says “Nothing else in the world… not all the armies… is so powerful as an idea whose time has come”. Another variant of the same quotation says: “There is one thing stronger than all the armies in the world, and that is an idea whose time has come” (Hugo in "The Future of Man").

One year ago, on November 15, 2023, the Nigerian Guild of Editors (NGE) invited me to speak on “Nigerian Media, Sustainability and Existential Threats by Big Tech.” Being asked again this year is a privilege, but I won’t be surprised if this is my last invitation.
