I think this lecture should be played to all matriculating students in all universities in Nigeria and played again at all graduating ceremonies of universities. It should also be played at all inaugurations of the lower and upper chambers of the federal legislature and at the inaugurations of the federal executive.

Sir Dike's dexterity is one he couldn't escape from conception. He is art at a crossroad. How much I so love this piece! It's beyond spoken word poetry, this is a living history. Kai! I strongly believe that my motherland will not have a better yesterday now and in yeas to come. God bless Nigeria ❤️✨🔥💯

I am marveled by this presentation. This is connectivity between pre-literal time and contemporary Nigerian history.

Hats off Dike, you're special 🙏. Now we need this to be translated to every Nigerian language and played in every church and mosque, randomly on radios and televisions, government institutions, universities and even secondary school, airports, rail and bus stations e.t.c it's just about time we get it right, let's help each other reapect our sensitivity and grow with the sense of state, we are delaying the comprehensive growth of sub-saharan Africa that heavily relies on our leadership, there's so much beauty in what's brings us together, we are fortunate, god bless Nigeria 🙏

This is good in affecting only the literary perspective becos any thing paradox is paradoxical to remain so till ifinity that is why the resultant effects of all the attempts to harness the positives from the Nigerian diversity conundrum has been re-enforcing the same paradox we have been hopefully trying to solve even from since pre-1914.
