Great, heard him speak at the NLF event in March, I will be there. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteOkey's a Special One.

I will be there too. It is good to hear some articulation of the Nigerian situation. It is good for the mind - if not the soul.
ReplyDeleteOkey is a highly gifted and engaging writer/story-teller. I am sure attendees at these events will have a swell time!
ReplyDeleteOkey Ndibe consistently displays an astonishing clarity of vision that is evidently rare in someone as young as he is.
ReplyDeletehe does not mince his words, as Obasanjo and the other Nigerian clowns have found out to their utter discomfort.Nigeria is in dire need of more like him.

Okey may be described in many words all of which are positive. A gifted writer with exceptional humility. At my age I will readily accept to be enrolled in his class if the opportunity drops at my feet. ------Chgo.
