Anyone who has monitored Nigerian political punditry in the institutional news media and on social media in the last few weeks would be led to suppose that only candidates of the improperly named All Progressives Congress (APC)—who are actually a bunch of opportunistic,...
conservative fascists— would be participating in the 2023 presidential election.
The bulk of traditional and social media commentary on the presidential election has devolved into a pointless internecine feud between supporters of Bola Tinubu and Yemi Osinbajo.
Even the reportorial ambition and inquisitiveness of our traditional newspapers have been circumscribed by the unwarranted presumption that the choice before Nigeria in 2023 would be between Tinubu and Osinbajo.

Thread.

As a young boy in the 1970s, I witnessed, aside from stories I heard, women marrying fellow women in my town. It was strange, but it happened.
I was to find out why the elders of my town allowed such acts that have become outlawed because of how it has been repackaged and sold to Africans as lesbianism.
Under Nnewi native law and customs, a woman could marry a fellow woman under the following situations:
TO PRESERVE INHERITANCE: An only girl-child who was traditionally licensed to procreate in her father's house (Nhachi) without marriage and who has been unable to sire a male child or have as many male children as desired can marry a fellow woman of her choice to help her...
