Nigeria, May 29 -- The world has never been short of demagogues and fools, but the remedies have often matched the supply. In 1990, during President Nelson Mandela's thank-you tour of the world, he was asked at the City College of New York, Harlem, NY., why he remained friends with Muammar Gaddafi, Yasser Arafat, and Fidel Castro. He replied that he didn't think it was the business of any country to choose South Africa's friends.

he last time a public official wept on national TV, Nigerians regretted offering her towels instead of buckets to collect her tears. She was acting, but we didn’t know it. Diezani Allison-Madueke had just been appointed Minister of Transport and went on a tour to assess some major roads. At the Benin end of the Lagos-Benin highway, she broke down and wept. She was seeing for the first time, outside her bubble, what Nigerians knew and endured daily: poor, hazardous roads. Her tears changed nothing.

It's not every time that a presidential spokesperson squares with a fellow compatriot carrying the country’s flag in a continental assignment. But it happened last week. @aonanuga1956 and @akin_adesina debated an existential question. https://t.co/Dn2HN8Zwog
The first was a skit that left me thinking...hmmm....naa. Say what you like of @realDonaldTrump he won't do this, would he? Then, the image on the right appeared on his handle on Truth Social, and reposted on the White House Twitter and the official account of POTUS. Bereft! https://t.co/bl3eo817bs
