Star artiste, Timaya, is in a sarcastic mood.
He seems to have found refuge in that literary term that helps you to mock your enemy or an unworthy project with intrigues and humour – satire, that is.
Writers such as the Nobel laureate, Professor Wole Soyinka, are masters at the satire game, with his plays such as ‘The Trials of Brother Jero’ and ‘King Babu’ being examples.
Eager to mock the Nigerian government’s love for profligacy on the one hand and their inability to stem unemployment, he says he is ready to employ two people.
And who are they?
His Tweet:
“I want to employ someone that would be in charge of greeting people on my behalf
And will also be giving handshakes.”

Meanwhile, Nigeria’s contradictions continue to give many folks a headache.
Here is a country where suffering and fear for more suffering are multiplying daily.
The country is led by a General but killings, kidnapping and others are spreading like harmattan bushfire.
Prices are skyrocketing, earnings are dwindling.
For many Nigerians, it is a tale of hunger, insecurity and more woes indeed!
