In the 1960s, for example, there was a popular American dance style called Twist. It soon caught on globally and Nigerians also started dancing Twist. In the United States, nobody died Twisting on the dance floor, but in Nigeria, people started slumping on the dance floor and dying; our people managed to turn an otherwise graceful and stylish dance movement into something suicidal as they twisted themselves to death! And most recently, when a Danish cartoonist was accused of having offended Moslems with a certain irreverent cartoon, nobody died in Europe as a result of that cartoon. There were protests across Europe yes, but all within the scope of decency. In Nigeria, churches and mosques were burnt by Moslem and Christian warriors, people were murdered on account of a cartoon that nobody had seen. No Nigerian newspaper had published the controversial cartoon; most of the gladiators did not even know what they were fighting for
