This title should remind us of Charles Dickens’s “A tale of two cities”, especially for those of us who are “old school.” To refresh our memory, “A tale of two cities” is an 1859 historical novel set in London and Paris before and during the French Revolution of 1789.
Here, Dickens asserted his belief in the possibility of resurrection and transformation on personal as well as societal level. The death of Sydney Carton secures a new, peaceful life for Lucie, Manette, Charles Darnay, and even Carton himself. Applied to our own situation, who – or what – will die for Nigeria’s resurrection and transformation, as it were? Is there still a possibility of Nigeria being saved from itself and against itself? Can we still secure a new, peaceful life for Nigeria and Nigerians or are we too far down the hill?
