In the beginning was ‘celebration of mediocrity’

In the beginning was ‘celebration of mediocrity’. The Guardian, Nigeria - April 01, 2013

(You definitely have to read this article by The Guardian, by clicking on the link above. I have always argued that Yusuf Maitam Sule (aka The Polemic) would have made a better President than Alhaji Shehu Shagari. I say, with the utmost respect to the President I love and respect for his humility. Be that as it may, with Maitama at the Presidency, Umaru Dikko, Akinloye, Chuba Akadigbo, and Uba Ahmed, would not have had the unchecked opportunities they had, abused, and wasted, which culminated in the intervention of the Buhari/Idiagbon Military Coup).


Update: October 02, 2019.

I have seen that lots of you are clicking to read this essay. Unfortunately, I have not been able to pull it out from the website of the Guardian Newspaper. I have spent hours on it, but couldn't locate that edition, even from the Guardian site. Please, if anyone is able to locate it, do not hesitate to upload it here for our visitors.

Thanks,

Alex Aidaghese
