  • Essay / Undercooked Humans, Undercooked Spirits - 820

    One day, God was practicing his culinary skills in his kitchen. He decided to cook his people and give them names. He first wrote these names on a sheet of paper. With his handy kitchen utensils and fresh ingredients, he began molding and shaping the dough he created into humans. He lined, brushed with butter and dusted the mold with flour. He transferred and lined up the raw humans in the baking dish. He put them in the LG oven preheated to a temperature of 150° Fahrenheit.

This is how the British colonized the country, Nigeria. They have erased the identity and culture (chalk writing) of Nigerians (blackboard) through the use of what the blackboard, chalk and eraser represent in simple terms, education.
