Outlaw politics from the daily papers!

Politics, politics and more politics. I hate it.

And yet it appears it is the stuff that appeals the most to our newspaper editors.

ON a day when a blueprint for the economic advancement of our country has been launched, some old school editors still prefer to make Kanu - a dying cockerel- the main news item of the day in our leading daily.

Will they ever get it right! That is what I think. But again maybe I am influenced by “Development communication scholars..” and maybe I just want to see development focused news in the media…still, I do not understand how a country that needs to develop a lot like ours would be living politics, eating politics and sleeping politics!

I guess we need to get rich first before we can decide to engage in the luxury of talking, talking and more talking.

What we need is actually a ban of politics from all newspapers.
