I will not trust anybody who respect, adore or is nice to me but rude to a waiter, gateman, cook or cleaner because they will treat me the same way if I were in such position.

Of course, he/she who feels it knows. 

Thanks for bringing Trish Lorenz to our attention and for a possible trashing here.

Otherwise, EndSARS, of course, such a matter of grave concern to all of us with tragic consequences such as the Lekki Massacre of 2020  have been on the front burner and endlessly been boiling in the crucible in this forum and in the Nigerian media since Day One.

 On the other hand, the Soro Soke publication only saw the light of day yesterday ( 11th May 2022 ) along with a plethora of other books authored mainly by Nigerians, books also waiting to be read, reviewed, and discussed.

The fallout may be partly due to her being an oyibo with predictable Besserwisser characteristics of the type Burning Spear laments in Christopher Colombus 

For Dear Wofa Akwasi : Lenny Henry on the importance of " Anansi boys"

Correction. 

Should read :   The Soro Soke publication on the other hand only saw the light of day yesterday ( 11th May 2022 ) along with a plethora of other books authored mainly by Nigerians, books also waiting to be read, reviewed, and discussed.

You don't steal a credit; you earn it. This is laughable. Was she at the Lekki Gate? I wonder how much Yoruba this woman speaks in the first instance. Very soon, she will claim she gave the progenitor of the Yoruba his known name, Oduduwa. Thanks for sharing (and exposing) the false claim.
