It's Flirting Time Again....02

For The Sake Of Continuity?

Generally, Nigerian politicians and political office holders refer to themselves as “patriots” rendering “selfless services to their fatherland” as if the rest of us are traitors, idlers and freeloaders. When they go about pleading that the president be allowed to serve a second term, it is not lost on us that it is because they want to continue to serve in the administration of the president. They sure know which side their bread is buttered!

It's Flirting Time Again

Yes, you guessed right! The caption of this cartoon is adapted from the famous Ray Charles song: CRYING TIME. For effect, let me go further than the first line. Please, replace CRYIN’ with FLIRTING to see how it applies to the current/recurrent activities of our political players in our political landscape.

Oh, it's cryin’ time again, you're gonna leave me
I can see that far away look in your eyes
I can tell by the way you hold me darlin' Oooh
That it won't be long before it's cryin' time

The New Wetin You Carry

A couple of days ago, the Lagos State Commissioner of Police announced sanctimoniously ( shouldn’t that be remorsefully?) to the press that the Nigeria Police was scandalized and horrified that one of theirs was caught on video soliciting for a bribe of N25,000. He went on to say: “henceforth, any officer caught red-handed” will be dealt with in the same manner, if not harsher.

There you go, officers, don’t be caught red-handed! Do whatever it takes not to be caught red-handed!
