A story was told once of a certain fearless journalist, he hated corruption and bad governance with a passion and wrote ceaselessly against government on these. Then he was offered a political appointment, and he never spoke again, even when the government he was serving in was doing worse than the governments he had written against. Then one day journalists caught up with him and asked him why he has been quiet, he asked them if they didnt have good home training- didnt your mothers tell you never to talk while eating? he asked. Now please I am not talking about Reuben Abati before una go begin commot una dagger. But talking about Mr. Abati, if it were then, I for don dey salivate for him column for Sunday Guardian tomorrow, just imagine what is write up would have been on the drama at NASS, imagine what his caption would have been. Na waoh. But like Prof. Soyinka talk, THE MAN DIED....
