HONOUR FOR SALE
Aristotle told the world that “Dignity does not consist in possessing honors, but in deserving them”. But you will agree with me that the reverse is the case in our nation. This is the only country where politicians will loot the treasury and proceed to acquire traditional titles, wives and estates even as the masses protest.
As we take the most decisive step tomorrow to elect a President, we must think about honour, and do so very seriously. To assist you in your thinking, I am posting today a poser from me which was published in the Sunday Concord of June 20, 1982. It is titled Where lies our honour?
Let us vote in a man of honour, realizing that the impact of our decision tomorrow will be like “…the precious oil upon the head, running down on the beard, the beard of Aaron, Running down on the edge of his garments.” Ps 133:2.
Lest we forget…CHANGE IS HERE
CARTOON CORNER
For dessert, today’s cartoon shows the mood in Ikoyi Hotel after a man defrauded the hotel through the impersonation of the Vice president of the federal republic of Nigeria sometime in 1980.
