I have given up long ago on Bros Jonah opening his mouth and not putting his foot in it.
Maybe that was why his parents did not buy him a pair of shoes, so he would not swallow them.
One can overlook the heavily accented diction. After all, he is a zoologist, and apart from Saturday morning cartoons, animals don't speak English.
I am not overly bothered about the embarrassing lack of logic and coherence whenever he was forced to speak unscripted either. After all, as one of my brothers in Ibadan once said, no be grammar we go sop(chop), na akson (action)we need..
What is unforgivable is that the President and Commander in Chief, and the Master of all he surveys, spoke at two consecutive rallies in Lagos and Enugu, and not one line was mentioned within the context of the soapbox rhetoric, in reference to
1. The falling oil price
2. The chibog girls
3. The Baga genocide
4. The impeding job losses
5. Austerity as it affects political office holders,
6.The falling electricity supply
7.The falling Naira
8. Bunkering and oil theft
and so on.
All he had regaled us with is how Buhari went to the toilet thirty years ago and refused to flush, and why he cannot pass legislation in a parliament controlled by his own party.
I wish some of those working for him should remind him that irrespective of the outcome of February elections, this tenure ends May 29, when it would either be renewed or terminated.
That means that until then, he is in charge, not APC.
And he therefore should campaign more about things that he is doing to solve our economic and security problems, and less about the opposition.
Unless of course if he knew he had nothing to say in those areas, and needed to divert our attention to the inconsequentials.
My ten kobo.
