I do not support the ignominy brought on Nigeria by the Boko Haram insurgency in some parts of the country and the way those vested with the constitutional mandate to safeguard every Nigerian from such – as custodians of our well-being – have handled it. However, I take exception to South Africa’s Julius Malema, 33, throwing verbal spanks at a ruling Nigerian president. It is wittingly debasing. It is also unappreciated for several other reasons.
Nigeria: Can you please tell Malema to zip it?

Nigeria: Can you please tell Malema to zip it?
The Nigerian President’s seat, whether occupied by Jonathan or ‘Jetlag’ as Malema puts it, is still the honourable symbol of the Nigerian state and its authority – our fountain of honour. Malema needs to look beyond the man sitting there for now and respect the seat governing over a hundred million people.
