This has been the toughest birthday tribute I have attempted to scribble. A lot of wonderful things have been penned about Bart Nnaji whose birthday both Nigerians from all walks of life and foreigners we are celebrating this weekend in Enugu, and they are true. He is absolutely a wonderful person, near superhuman. World-class achievers are like that, except that many are not as caring and humane and generous and egalitarian as he is.

South Africa has been crowned the world's most generous nation for everyday kindness, empathy, and emotional support. But a fierce debate is raging across social media: is the spirit of Ubuntu—the profound African philosophy of shared humanity—still alive, or is it "on pause"?

​The Three-Month Sprint was initially conceived as a two-part series.

​In the first part, I journeyed back to the formative moments that shaped my intellectual vocation, from a chance discovery of Sigmund Freud in the University of Calabar Library to the enduring influence of Edward Said and Antonio Gramsci. The essay explored how a journalist's persistent quest to understand why Nigeria persistently bleeds eventually produced three original frameworks that have now entered global scholarly discourse.

This is the concluding part of this write-up, originally published on April 25, 2022. Following the publication of parts one and two over the past two weeks, I have revisited this article because its message remains as relevant and timely today as it was when it was first published. Only that it is now: "No one is safe", not only "Nowhere", with generals being killed on the roads (read General Alkali), abducted from their fortified homes (read General Tsafe), or whisked away on highways (read General Rabe), and killed in the bushes, not while on active service or as Prisoners of War (POWs), but as shackled captives.

Someone accosted me recently and asked the question: Why are you Yoruba always the troublers of Nigeria? And my mind immediately went to the same question King Ahab had asked Prophet Elijah in the Bible! “And it came to pass, when (King) Ahab saw (Prophet) Elijah, that Ahab said unto him, Art thou he that troubleth Israel? And he (Elijah) answered, I have not troubled Israel; but thou, and thy father’s house, in that you have forsaken the commandments of the Lord, and thou hast followed Baalim” (1 Kings 18: 17 & 18).
