The moderator has come again, to borrow from Fela:
If you read pieces from Moses, Farooq, Bolaji, Buba and Obi, you enjoy them for the pleasure of the language. I don't always agree with the contents, to be sure, but I have hosted dinner just to enjoy the language.
My own prose is mediocre as I did not have the pleasure of having parents to send me to a good school. I don't even know my father!
So the question is at what point did we lose it?
How come these folks can write so well, and in that same space today, many can no longer do?
For aspiring politicians this is not a Buhari issue!!
At what point did Nigeria get it wrong?
