Is It Me? Or Did Abdulrahman Danbazzau Just Defy The Presidency?

Please don’t let’s sugar coat this one. President in waiting, acting, temporary, substitute, interim whatever you want to coat him with is asleep in Aso Rock lite, hundreds of soldiers are deployed without his knowledge; he is unable to see his temporary incapacitated, feeble, impaired, powerless, inproficient patriarch the next day.

Ahem!

Has Jonathan just lost the presidency?

Ok, I’m still trying to rationalize this. The commander in Chief just got usurped by the Chief of Army Staff? This is beyond Ordinary. I thought the Chief of Army staff was a few Offices removed from the Presidency!

That would be like Solly Zacharia Shoke running military maneuvers near Johannesburg while Kgalema Mothlathe was acting president. Then Shoke says he only takes orders from Zuma, knowing Zuma was incapacitated, doing so because like Zuma, they are both Zulu (Shoke is from Alexandra).

Shoke still gets to keep his job?

Like David Richards not sending subliminals but overt messages that Gordon Brown was unimportant
Tantawi telling Mubarak to take a hike!

Wow! This just can’t be. These macabre comedy gets a little more interesting here on out.

Did Tebogo Masire just tell Ian Khama he forgot to tell him he will be using the military for an important engagement? Worse still didn’t send a memo?

HAVE WE JUST UNWOUND 15 YEARS?

Ian Khama ignores it and pretends he is still a leader who can’t control the military. The military, a subordinate institution?

Tebogo still gets to keep his job? The Bamamgwato have pride, I know that.

Most importantly the Bamangwato have guts.

These just can’t be. I’m waiting to wake up, and then get back to reality or sacks or resignations.

Some pride somewhere, somebody please!!

Nigerian Men and their Foreign Wives

Culturally, Nigerian men are overbearing, controlling, and paternalistic.  They relate to their fathers and mothers differently. They believe it is “a man’s world” and so they have the tendency to relegate women to subservient roles. I am stunned by the transformation Nigerian men, married to non-Nigerian women, have gone through in the United States...

Lost in a Sea of Hair Weaves

One can understand some black women wearing wigs for the same reasons that some white women do; because they are losing or have lost their hair. One can even make allowances for wigs being worn for the occasional change of look. But how to explain young women with full heads of hair who will never be seen dead with their natural hair?
