How Does Intelligence Kill?


Nigeria suffers from an over addiction to Religion and Intelligence. A nation only willing to pray without taking action, a nation whose definition of education is speaking with a British accent…at least that’s what author Okechukwu Ofili is sha claiming in this Agege bestselling book “How Intelligence Kills” available at http://konga.com/ofilispeaks a frank and honest book on Nigerian issues we are too afraid to talk about.


On Writing Names Of Noisemakers (book excerpt)
let’s stop writing down the names of noise makers! I mean we spend 12 years telling primary and secondary school students to keep quiet, and then we thrust them into the world and tell them to make a change and speak up against social injustice!  And then we are shocked when they can’t.” 



On Speaking in Tongues (book excerpt)
Three years later, I found myself several thousand miles from secondary school at a church in Houston, Texas, but this time nobody was speaking in tongues or binding out demons. Instead they talked to God in gentle whispers, completely the opposite to the yelling and shouting I was used to back at home.
Also, church actually started and finished on time; and on Sunday you could actually go an entire day without some random person asking you the guilt-seeking have-you-gone-to-church question. And my scary dreams? Well, they suddenly disappeared. It was as if the Devil and his whole crew of demons were denied visas at the American Embassy.  And I can totally relate to that…Get the book at http://konga.com/ofilispeaks




On The Forgotten Civil War (book excerpt)
It was as if the war never happened…Or at least we like to act like the war never happened. It was as if we went out of our way to erase every trace of the war from our memory. It is omitted from our history and our educational curriculum. So the only history we have has been largely oral, from the stories of people who experienced the war to others who heard stories from those that experienced the war.
And for years this is how the war has been documented…orally…from generation to generation. And perhaps one day we would all wake up and find the war erased from our memories. But it won’t disappear…because the civil war did not end in 1970, it still goes on today.Get the book at http://konga.com/ofilispeaks
