It is interesting to note in passing that today there are 17.5 million Nigerians who belong to the Anglican Church, a quarter of the worldwide communion; one wonders what Achebe would make of the largely conservative influence that they exert on the much smaller church at the centre of the empire that was.

That’s why we are sticking to doing the original bidding with the festival,” Ogidi ninsisted.With several medals on offer in track and field, this will definitely remain a battle ground by states wishing to push for a fair chunk of the number, to boost their standing on the medals table.
Certainly, the hues and cries trailing the desecration of the festival by states who fielded ineligible athletes in order to win at the last edition in Abuja two years ago, did not diminish Edo State’s chances.
