By Dr. Sunny Oby Maduka (DSM) “For the fact that an armed robber, a rogue or a drug baron is a well-known philanthropist, doesn’t make the person a morality standard to be proud of, or sheepishly promoted or followed.” – DSM Unfortunately in Nigeria, people don’t think about the consequences of character flaws in their supposedly oppressive philanthropist’s governance policies, and as such, are easily deceived by an early CHEESE GAME of some tricky politicians.
