- Ruben Abati *Emi lokan, awa lokan’ and the discontent*  By Reuben Abati  “BROS, how body? Have you seen what I have seen?” “No. How do you expect me to see what you have seen, when my eyes are different from yours? I use my own eyes. The evidence of my own ocular facility, not what other people see in a country where most people are either depressed, half-blind, hungry or sick. Every man for himself or herself.” “Ok. Ok, if you would just allow me to talk. You always think you know it all. But there are certain things other people see, and hear that you may not be aware of.” “Okay. What?
