Chris Ihidero Unedited: Stella Oduah-  Forgive her for she knows not what she’s doing

							


			
			
 This minister of aviation, like many before her, does not know what she's doing. Or, perhaps, she knows what she's doing when it comes to siphoning money from government coffers, but clearly, it is the madness that this country continues to exhibit that allows someone like her to become a minister in the first instance. This, of course, says a lot about the president but, as you all probably know already, I have no faith in the abilities of this president in any capacity whatsoever.

Chris Ihidero Unedited: Nigeria at 53 – Lovesongs for my wasteland

							


			
			
Actually, that’s not entirely true. I know how I feel but I can’t seem to come to terms with the fact that things have come to such a terrible state between us. I’m in an abusive relationship with my country.  I’m the abused and my country my abuser.  For reasons I can’t explain, beyond national pride or patriotism, I’m attracted to my abuser; in fact, it may be said that I am intricately tied to my abuser, perhaps eternally...

Chris Ihidero Unedited: Hustling 101- like Jay Z, like Nollywood

							


			
			
There's nothing wrong with seeing an artistic expression as nothing more than a legitimate hustle.  Purists would rather artistes starve to death in the service of art, forbidding them from extracting maximum value from their artistic work, making profit sound like a bad thing where art is concerned. I do not deny that Nollywood needs improvement in many areas. In fact I often say that some of the films many of my colleagues put forth are preposterous, to say the least.
