Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. But those who flaunt power learn to pay back when they least expect. Imagine Muamar Gadaffi now begging for negotiation after several months of bragging about his invincibility. This tragedy of misplaced power is the focus of today’s post which also examines the confusion in the English Language as spoken by Nigerians.
CARTOON CORNER
Sir Harold Wilson resigned his position as British Prime Minister in 1976 amidst a number of messy scandals. These scandals, some involving a KGB plot, continued after his resignation as one question led to the other without being resolved. It was at that point that the cartoon posted today was published in one of the 1978 editions of Times International Magazine. Of course, my point of interest was the then unresolved question of apartheid which raged on while Britain sat on the fence.
The evils that men do sometimes live before them, like Harold Wilson, and now Muamar Gadaffi. Take heed.
Lest we forget…CHANGE IS HERE
