A Cold-blooded Beast Called Isa Pantami By Femi Fani-Kayode

Elwin Mandowa,
I am glad that a young, brilliant and deeply courageous freelance journalist by the name of David Hundeyin thoroughly thrashed, disgraced and removed the pants of a shameless ignoramus, bumbling fool and decrepit imbecile called Kabir Bako on Channels Televisions’ ‘Politics Today’ last night. The latter had attempted to defend the indefensible by seeking to justify and rationalise the despicable… Read More
