Dele Farotimi as the Madd Man of the Year

Every year-end, all sorts of people and organisations name their person of the year. Me too, I have been doing my own in my small corner. Last year, Wike, the garrulous and “I no gree” politician was Madd Man of the Year. This year na my former dreadlock-wearing brother, Dele Farotimi be the undisputed winner.

My people, Dele just take aim at the judiciary and fire. One SAN that called me during the week said, “I am sure Dele is smoking some cheap weed, or how do we explain that his book.” Another big lawyer also called and said: “What he is saying is true, the judiciary has been messed up since 1976.”

My people, we all sha love to play to the gallery, make noise and feel as if we belong and be saying things without saying anything.

It is not today that everybody has been shouting judiciary is corrupt, judiciary is this, judiciary is that without mentioning names or pointing real fingers.

We are a country of hypocrites and pretentious people who love to live in a flowery world playing the big ostrich games.

Dele has named names, very big names and is already suffering for it – over five lawsuits as we speak, one petition to disbar him amongst other forms of punishment for daring to be specific in his accusations as against the rest of the world who will say – judiciary- as if judiciary is a person.

We are not ready for the change is all I can say for now. When we are ready, the rest of us will also write our books and till then, let Dele suffer his suffer and this is why he is my Man of the Year- he dared to point a finger.
