Nigeria at 49

ditor’s note
How does it feel to be 49? Honestly, this isa question I cannot answer because I don’thave a personal experience yet. But our dearcountry Nigeria clocks 49 this month and Ibelieve I can borrow a leaf from that.Well, you may not know the magnitudeof that double-digit number until you try
counting them on your ngers and toes. This
may not be an easy task at all. This reinforcesthe fact that Nigeria has come a long way,49 years of independence is no joke and thequestion that has been on the lips of manyNigerians is: what do we have to show forbeing 49 years old? A fool at 40, the popularadage says, is a fool forever. Nigeria at 49is what? This is a question that our coverpersonality, Ifeoma Williams seeks to answer.As an image consultant, Ifeoma talks aboutthe Nigerian image at 49, it’s past, presentand future.Also, in this same spirit of independence, themain feature story titled: When the streetsbecome the only option looks at the painsand frustrations of street hawkers includingtheir plans for the future. Bamidele Odufuye,The Young Entrepreneur in this issue, offersanother dimension to the Nigerian struggleas he narrates his success as an entrepreneur.In the same vein, astute poet and literarycritic, Odia Ofeimun talks about the booksthat made him.Of course, this edition will be incompletewithout the Mysterious Shopper, who hasgone mystery shopping since last month inother to serve you another interesting story.These and more are in this independenceedition. Happy independence! Goodbye andsee you again next month.
