Any time I see this one, I burst out laughing.
It’s not even about the lack of ‘book knowledge’ but also the lack of native intelligence that comes with this package
Nigeria had been blessed with a lot of non-book literate leaders but what stood them out was their native intelligence
The Ibadan strongman Adedibu comes to mind
Listening to him, was an experience. His deep understanding of politics, his delivery mostly in funny English but laced with Yoruba wise anecdotes and wisdom usually leaves the listener with strong admiration despite your revulsion at his tactics
This one that Edo people have blessed Nigeria with, is another matter
Try as you can, you sha must end up in laughter anytime one encounters this Monday
The poor diction is excusable but the base paedophilistic vituperations make you look at the nearest Edo man to laugh
How this ‘chuku chuku’ train represents the great Edo State remains one of the greatest wonders in this our country.
The campaign season was a stand-up comics’ envy.
No comedian including Edo State’s biggest export – I go die could have beaten the delivery from this Monday
It was laughter all the way. The bad English, the lack of understanding of the basic tenets of democratic processes and the ‘roughing’ through made very good light-hearted entertainment.
Pitting this side attraction beside the suave Asue once again forcefully threw up the decadadent nature of our politics and the trajedy of his ‘victory’ and its affirmation by the courts just made one give up
As oga plunders thru, one can see the average Edo intellectual cringe in shame
Tell Obi to….. He screams. I cannot guarantee his safety…. Anything wey he see…
Even Portable the gutter musician is cleaning up his act and coming out a little more elegantly than this Monday who never heralds the beginning of a new week for Edo people.
How Edo people got to this point needs to be studied in all State Universities and those glorified secondary schools lablled Universities that litter the Ibadan- Ife Road in South West Nigeria
One would have recommended a finishing school if the challenge was just finnese but what we are facing here is deeper than that, its a very deep lack of knowledge both book sense and native intelligence that has now combined in making governance in one of my most favourite states a pantomime
The only solution here is to do as they tell us on the plane when we arr about to take off-
Put your hands behind your head, put your head in between your legs and brace for impact and pray to God make one of these ballistic missiles wey Monday dey release every ekwe market day, no go scatter person head one day.
This writer sells watermelon opposite Oba Akenzua Cultural centre in Benin City in case any one is looking for him to beat.
