Doing the Needful It just became a wonderful coinage, verbiage in the 2013/14 Nigerian colloquial. Its usage however of recent is now value loaded. Some use it to foster an anti-Igbo sentiments;(not being tribalistic) as a form of sarcasm, others use it for their private manipulations. Yet, I will appraise the purveyor or architect of the initial usage. You added a new meaning yet to an English word and of course it still endorse the school of thought I profess that words derive meaning according to use; that is to say that contextlessness is meaninglessness. A kind of hermeneutics; embodying the 17th century(enlightenment) notion of prejudice(prejudgment). I still thank you Minister for this new meaning import to doing the needful
