In Lagos, where the air tastes of diesel fumes and ambition, there stood a federal teaching hospital—a crumbling monument to a nation’s fraying promises. Its gates sagged on rusted hinges, and the signboard out front, once declaring it a “Center of Excellence,” had faded to a ghostly whisper. This was where hope came to duel with despair. My friend Adaora, a schoolteacher with hands calloused from grading papers and scrubbing floors, arrived here one sweltering morning with her son Emeka.

In the bustling heart of Nollywood, where stories mirror the pulse of the nation, filmmaker Omoni Oboli’s Love in Every Word emerges not merely as a romantic drama but as a profound allegory for Nigeria’s enduring love affair with itself. The film, which follows Chioma—a Lagos career woman torn between her past and an unexpected romance—unfolds like a parable for the Nigerian condition: a nation grappling with inherited flaws, societal storms, and a love so fierce it borders on obsession.

It reads: “Our flag shall be a symbol that truth and justice reign… To hand on to our children; A banner without stain.”The President always emphasised the last line -to hand to our children a banner without stain.

Writing on what passes for Nigerian politics today is a pathetic attempt at making meaning out of wretched absurdity. To lift the spirit, one has to take a recourse to literature where there is a measure of elevation in the undertaking of Nigeria’s creative writers across the decades.

It was a call to stewardship and righteousness…not like the god of men, or the fabled men of god. Grace, mercy, and peace be multiplied unto you, beloved brethren, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ, who holds the keys of authority and whose eyes behold the plight of the oppressed. I write not as one ignorant of your struggles but as a fellow labourer in this vineyard called Nigeria, imploring you in the spirit of Paul’s epistles: Awake to wisdom, for the hour demands it.
