Yes, October 1, 2012. Independence Day came and went in my household, without a muster or fanfare. I vowed two years ago, that future Nigeria’s Independence Day at least, in my household, is not a time for whimsicalities but one of quiet contemplation.

Logically speaking, ‘exists’ is a verb: it is not a predicate that can be added or removed from a connoting expression in a manner that makes an ontological difference.
