Abati’s unnecessary necessity

Reuben Abati

By: Victor Ehikhamenor

As much as I cringed reading some of Dr. Reuben Abati’s words this past Sunday in The Guardian newspaper, a sense of eiyaaa overwhelmed me. It was so obvious that the task before the erudite ex-columnist was to catch a porcupine with bare hands.

Abati’s piece reminded me of my mother when I was in primary school. I was flogged silly by the labour master for not bringing “handwork” to school one time and hell almost broke loose.

Handwork required tedious work, and it was a necessity and part of the school program. At this particular occasion I came to school empty handed and the labour master could not bear my audacity of hoping he would not ask me for it.

Of Jonathan and The E- Presidency.

I simply don’t understand this noise about the absence of Mr. President and his ‘diplomatic’ duties at Rio, Brazil. Why should anyone care about his where about? Why do we make Mr. President feel we miss him? We do not, at least I don’t: except the condolence messages came a little late and I certainly miss the rage that runs through me when he makes those unintelligible statements; knowing well that he knows he does not mean the promises.   

Seriously, Nigerians should not be those who border about Jonathan’s where about. It should be his cohorts. His presence at home makes no significant difference, except that the condolence messages may be spot on. So who cares if he begins a world tour from Brazil?

Of Cassava Bread, Agege Bread and the Transformation Agenda.

Ma’am, are you aware we have refuted claims that Cassava Bread is unhealthy for diabetic patients?

How does that concerns me? I am not diabetes and I am not eat cassava bread. I see it only on News papers and TV when they pose with it at the Federal Executive Council meetings. I also remember that Joe once said he has changed his menu to cassava bread. Well, maybe he now eats out.

Do you mean you don’t serve him cassava bread?

Ask your head.

WHO IS IN-CHARGE OF NIGERIA: MY Husband Or...?

By Olusesan Ogunyooye

Patience: These Boko Harams; who born them? Is it not a women? Look at how they have turned innocent children to widows?

Reuben: Your Excellency, I have warned that it is better you leave me to do all the talking instead of creating this national embarrassment. The world is laughing at us!

Patience: I warned Joe boy before he brought you into this government. I told him that your mouth is full of words and you have insulted me too much when you were a Editor-in-chief in your newspapers. But he won’t listen to me. Look, let me tell you, me is the first lady of the Federal Republic of Nigeria; and your wife with all are certificates is not better than the grass in my compound.
