Tinubu’s Injudicious Governance Template In A Heterogeneous Society

 By Ikechukwu Amaechi

In his seminal offering last Sunday titled, “Whose president is Tinubu, anyway?” TheNiche columnist, Dr. Chidi Amuta, concluded in a rather cautionary note: “Tinubu’s current quandary as to his real national constituency may end in greater confusion unless he is ready to rediscover the source of his original sin and redress it. That original sin is that he has failed to rise to the lofty height of the nation. Instead, he has spent two years struggling to reduce a great nation to the limited size of his stature, vision and politics. To discover his mission, Tinubu has to rise to the magnitude of his national canvass.”

*Tinubu

It was a well-intentioned advisory, which, if heeded, will do President Tinubu a world of good and soothe frayed nerves in the country. But knowing him, it is an advisory he will treat with derision.

Government Of The Deaf And Dumb!

 By Kenneth Okonkwo

attended one high profile birthday celebration in Abuja sometime ago. In that celebration, some physically challenged persons were invited too. I picked interest in one pretty lady among them. My attention was drawn to her when one young guy wanted to chat her up but she wasn’t replying. 

*Tinubu and Shettima 

When the guy noticed that she was using sign language, the guy apologised to her and their leader and confessed to the leader that he didn’t know that she was deaf and dumb. The young girl was mad when she perceived what the young guy told their leader. She quipped, the mere fact that I am deaf, doesn’t imply that I am dumb. It dawned on me that if you call a person dumb, it doesn’t necessarily mean that the person is temporarily unable or unwilling to speak, it means the person is showing a lack of intelligence.
