"Like-I-Said-Before" TV.....01

Have you noticed when Nigerians watch Local TV programmes, particularly current affairs and personality interview shows, they talk, make side comments about guests, make and take phone calls, play loud music in the background, dash in and out of the room and yet, after the programme, they are able to tell you what the discussants have said word-for-word! How?

You will find the answer in the cartoon above.

If The NFF Fire Was On Account Of The books....

Corrupt government officials have been making fire to cook books from time immemorial. Up until recently, fire was necessary to destroy evidence in order to frustrate police investigations. Why, because the police then were tough on crime and would go to the end of the earth to investigate and prosecute suspects.

However, the regime of impunity under which we live today has made it totally unnecessary for corrupt government officials to torch their accounts departments. Why bother burning books which the authorities have no interest in examining?

GAZA STRIPped

After a seven-week war between Israel and Hamas, both parties finally agreed to an open ended ceasefire last week Tuesday. Immediately after the announcement, Palestinians thronged the streets of Gaza to celebrate their “victory”, despite the fact that majority of the over 2,200 that got killed and over 11,000 wounded were Palestinians. Should they be celebrating a ceasefire that may not, in the final analysis translate to a certainty? 

"Original" Copycats

Here’s a cartoon I made five years ago in reaction to what I actually experienced. Since then, the imposture bit has occurred a few more times, the last time being a few days ago. It prompted me to change the faceless profile image in my facebook timeline to one of my portrait, with the hope that the move will discourage impostors from turning up at events claiming to be me. And I added in my timeline, “or maybe it will help my political adversaries to easily identify me or perhaps it may fuel another kind of racket. I don’t know. You can’t win, can you?”
