Femi Fani-Kayode And Eneke The Bird By Achike Chude

Elwin Mandowa,
It must be the fruits of a turbulent spirit. Nigeria’s former President Olusegun Obasanjo described him more as a man ruled by the cravings of his stomach rather than the demands of mental exegesis.  But when you hear him speak, it makes you wonder.
