It's Alright For Some! "13, Unlucky For Some!"...01-04

While we are still at it, I might as well unfurl the scroll to reveal the rest of my offerings on the under-age marriage controversy when it first broke out three years ago…

Things Haven't Really Changed: Lies, Damned Lies And Statistics

Another work in progress....

Things Haven't Really Changed...! "13, Unlucky for Some!"

Once again, I am bringing an old cartoon back into focus under the title: Things haven’t really changed. Usually when I repeat a cartoon, the purpose is not necessarily to vindicate the cartoon or show how prophetic it has turned out to be. No.  One of the purposes is to refresh our memories.

But the main purpose is to continue with the debate from where it was left off; knowing that whatever inspired the making of the cartoon in the first place would not have changed. In fact, with our politicians, things can only get worse! Thus, I consider every cartoon I make a work in progress, an unfinished work waiting to be updated whenever the need arises. Now you know!

Still On The Akure Jailbreak....

Reacting to the claim by the Ondo State Police command that they rearrested 54 out of the reported 175 inmates that escaped from Olokuta Prison in Akure, the leader of a Security Awareness Network in Ondo State said:  “This claim is total falsehood as we believe only a few of the prisoners who are still loitering around the prison yard were taken back into their cells, and not any of the fleeing criminals.”

…And to the model prisoner in the cartoon, I say “hang in there, man!”

Political Calculations

Thisday columnist, Olusegun Adeniyi wrote last Thursday that we have become so disingenuously calculating that today “…..16 is officially recognized as a bigger number than 19 while a “majority” of five is now enough to impeach a speaker in a House of Assembly where there are 32 members”

Check out this Dec 2008 cartoon. It is the closest reminder that our politicians have been very dexterous at manipulating figures for a long time and they are not about to change. Does anybody remember the details of the event that inspired the cartoon?

The Brain-Washing Power Of Commercials

I dug out this cartoon as my contribution to a thread in a LinkedIn forum EVERYTHINGJOURNALISM group. The topic is: “How do you read Nigerian-made adverts” …and I suppose, TV commercials.
