Farouk Vs Otedola: The Last Episode


Where is Farouk and Otedola? Wish I knew or know someone that does, at least I could have tried a quick interview with them before 'reviewing' a sold-out 'movie' in which they were the main act. I'm certain both still want to discuss their roles as victims of a plot by people seeking their fall.

'Faroukgate', like the typical Nollywood script, was highly predictable - we knew how it was going to end. The film-makers - experts at understanding the average Nigerian reaction to national issues - knew we would fall asleep minutes into the 'movie'. Months after, and we remain tucked in bed.

Here's a question. Why is it that we always sleep away many national issue? Maybe if we stayed awake to see the end of issues plaguing Nigeria, we could witness the last episode of a greedy, corrupt and unpatriotic elite taking advantage of the sleeping citizenry of a sleeping giant.
