But Kolade? Now this is a different proposition. There are a few Nigerians I adore with every bit of my soul and pray to be like them in my old age. Kolade is one of them. He is a man of integrity, a role model, a patriot and a non-partisan. I admire him to no end. So when someone like that becomes your critic, then there is trouble. The biggest mistake you will make is to lump him along with your natural or regular critics. However, you can choose to lock yourself up, read his statement word-for-word, get pricked in your heart, and say: Dear God, what may I do to be saved? I have said this before and I would like to repeat myself: it is not in the interest of President Jonathan to lump all his critics together. As a leader, he has to sit down, analyse his critics and their criticisms, arrange them in groups, classify the key issues and work out his actions and reactions appropriately. He sure has millions of critics, like any other leader. People criticise with different motives. People have different agenda even when they are saying the same thing. Unfortunately, you will miss the message when you lump everyone together and respond to every critic and criticism with cynicism and antagonism.- Simon Kolawole
