TAKE A BOW AND GO DRAMA IN NIGERIA

SENATOR: Mr Ministerial nominee, people have been telling us how good you are to your wife and children including your neighbours, would you be able to translate this kind and godly gesture to the whole country as a minister?
MINISTERIAL NOMINEE: Thank you for that all important question, distinguished senator. God who has been helping me as a father and husband will surely see me thru once I become a minister of the Federal Republic.


SENATE PRESIDENT: You may take a bow and go!
SENATOR: Madam Nominee: We read in the newspapers how your family remains peaceful despite the fact that your husband has three other wives. In a country like Nigeria where we have 390 ethnic groups, would you be able to translate the peace in your home into the whole nation being the macrocosm of a family?
MINISTERIAL NOMINEE: With your support as the distinguished senators, I would try my best to ensure there is peace and unity in all the 774 local councils that make up this country.
SENATE PRESIDENT: Is this our wish that the ministerial nominee to take a bow and go?
SENATORS: YESSSSS!
SENATE PRESIDENT: You may take a bow and go.


PRESS REPORT: Ministerial Nominees dazzle senators with intelligent answers!
MY TAKE: This is not how to build a nation.
