S.I Magazine Volume 11

Kaabo! Nno! Oboshan! Ibote! Ola le! Sannu da Zuwa! Welcome to our October/November issue. We join millions of Nigerians to celebrate Nigeria’s 57th Independence Day. It is no news that this year’s Independence celebration was clouded with series of events prior it. All events have been attempts to destabilize and send the nation into disarray. SI Magazine on this edition, drew her lenses on the long brewing issue of ETHNOCENTRISM in Nigeria, jabbing our consciousness to arrest the monster before it eats up our nation. Some cultural rituals and habits have been washed away by the tide of time, while a few others have strongly fixed its root
right in the middle of the ocean. The Igbos are famous for a few things, one of which is their ritual kola nut breaking. Find out what makes the ‘Igbo land sacred nut’ so sacred and a bosom friend to time. They say ‘the eyes are the window to the soul’ but not for Mr. Alex, whose hands lay his sight, and from which exudes beauty. Be inspired with our ‘Beating the Odds’ column with ‘Beauty in his hands’ and other interesting and captivating stories.
Thank you for always being there!
