Thinking of it. Really we should not be disturbed by this article save for the fact that Tinubu is associated with the Nation newspaper. He has done himself a world of good to distance himself from the article because as the Yoruba saying goes," Omoluabi ki i fi owo osi juwe ile baba re". Yoruba people would have shown him "he had climbed the tree past the last branch" come 2015 literally as this would have been good campaign ammunition. However, can one be dismayed that this article was written by a non- Yoruba? I wonder if there would have been any Yoruba journalist who would have had the guts to disrespect a 95 year old woman, a very respected one at that! |

Shokwen: But did you ponder whether its right for the 95-year old woman to meddle in partisan politics and call a 50-something year old man a bastard? Consider this again, 'agbalagba to so suku m'odi, o so ara e di alawada adie.' |
