In response to the yearnings of my numerous fans down the years, this blog is built to feature installmental postings of scores of articles and cartoons from my stable as an analyst and cartoonist on local/international politics in the Times Group. It also parades some of my crowd-pulling humour writings in the famous "Concord Laff" column(the Sunday Concord. Please stay connected.

NIGERIAN POLITICS: CARTOON CORNER
LOOKING BACK
Nigeria is never lacking in ideas. The nation also, at every time, parades a crop of intellectuals who continue to proffer one solution after the other. What we are lacking is a leadership ready to listen to wise counsel and run with it.
This trend is the subject matter of today’s review article published in the Sunday Concord, sometime in 1993. Going through this post, you will find that there has not been any definite paradigm shift in the mentality of our politicians.
At the height of the Apartheid struggle, 1982 was proclaimed by the United Nations as the year of sanctions against the apartheid regime. The tongue-in-cheek proclamation is the subject of today’s cartoon.
As we return to the polling stations tomorrow, let us strive to vote in patriots and not those who will inflict apartheid on us. For all you know, the United Nations will only intervene for air strikes and useless aids that may never get to the masses. Now is the time to decide against oppression. Do not be frustrated by the hiccups of last Saturday. Troop out with zeal, withstand every temptation and vote wisely.
Lest we forget…CHANGE IS HERE
