It's a metaphor. Our Journalist and the way they quote people halfway

Raggedy_Ann:

“Evil spirits” is only a metaphor. She was refering to those persons that are bent to perpetuate the corruption in the power sector thereby preventing improvement. Lol, yes they are evil spirits!

Even if it was meant to be a metaphor, is it not outright foolishness to say such in the presence of the so called Foreign investors. Reasons why others don't take us serious!

Exactly!! Methaphor or not there are manner of speaking when addressing the public, investors or any important person or group of people. Kai!! Most polticians in dis country have to go for courses on business writing and speaking. This is very inappropriate especially to investors looking to invest their hard earned money. Imagine how this wud sound to them. The impression they are giving of the country is very bad.

Good Lord do have mercy on us in Nigeria. How do we make progress in the larger comity of nations when our leaders and technocrats think along these lines. This probably accounts for the rationale for the recent acquisition of a private jet by the president of CAN who throngs the corridors of Aso Villa in Abuja.

Hahahahahaha. I imagine you are being sarcastic.

In other news, the evil spirits said they are responsible for the pot holes and craters on your highways, but that they know nothing about the light issue. 'Ask our friend OBJ' they said.

Ejiné: The Igbo man has left, and as expected, it's time for the ministry to retrogress back to its original rotten form.

Must you tribalize every issue like Achebe
Was the igbo man not sacked (urged to resign) by by his president 'brother' to whom he's joined @ the hip?
