We need more disrespect for Nigerian leaders

Home Columnists We need more disrespect for Nigeria n leaders David Hundeyin Aug 5, 2022   Share Do me a favour before you start reading this article. Go to YouTube and search for an animated satire show called “Headcases.” It’s been cancelled now, but back in 2008, it was one of my favourite things on television. Having grown up under General Abacha and (retired) General Obasanjo, the experience of watching a primetime show on ITV 1 brutally skewering politicians and celebrities was as new to me as it is to you, now that you are hopefully watching it. ‘Headcases’ was my entry point into British political culture back in the noughties when I was a teenager trying to assimilate into the new environment. Nothing was off limits on the show. The two royal princes were mercilessly satirised as spoiled, unintelligent toffs. Prime Minister Gordon Brown was portrayed as a terrified wet blanket whose catchphrase delivered in an exaggerated Scottish accent was “WE’RE DOOMED, WE’RE DOOMED, WE...

SAM OMATSEYE VS ORJI UZOR KALU

Qrji Uzor Kulu Sam Omatseye The fight between Omatseye and Kalu The altercation between ace columnist, Sam Omatseye and frontline politician, business mogul cum newspaper publisher, Orji Uzor Kalu, finally brought to the fore one issue which many observers have been talking about in subdued tones, despite its devastating effects on both the journalism profession and the polity. For some of us, it is a welcome development since by it, both the country and the media trade may become saved by the growing impunity in the latter, wherein so-called newspaper publishers have turned newsrooms and their editors into instruments for political warfare. It is a trend which many men of the pen profession have themselves complained about but in hushed tones, in what appears like an amazing connivance. Now that prominent figures in the media are becoming victims, there is hope that we may be getting to the end of this ugly state of affairs. read  more

SAM OMATSEYE CALLS PETER OBI OBITUARY

Image
SAM OMATSEYE Obi-tuary By  Sam Omatseye   Peter Obi   Suddenly, it is all quiet on the eastern front. No street heckles or flag waving or mooning over a yellow sun, no hooting or baying in public. The rabble no longer raves. Few wonder what happened to the Nnamdi Kanu crowd. Some may wonder if they are withering? The answer is before our eyes. The Biafran babblers are alive and well. They just swapped icons, rechristened the shrines and rewrote the rites. They left the prophet for a secular priest. They have had a switch of battle gear. Maybe it is not quiet. We can hear and feel the cacophony. The chants and caterwauling are everywhere, especially on the phones. The twitter bees, the Instagram grimes, the Facebook freaks. They are alive and well, but they have not been at war at the side of their icon, who is griping in detention. It’s farewell Kanu. Welcome Obi, at least until the new priest peters out. They are at his worship. They embrace it be...
