I begin with a confession. The title of this article is not original; it is borrowed.
This is about “Editorial Notebook”, the column that I have written, first as a fortnightly offering and later weekly for about 13 years. It is taking a “short break”. We then at an editors conference allotted days to some of our colleagues, who protested the additional burden. Needless to say, today, dear reader, many are finding it difficult to get some space in this newspaper, “The Newspaper of the Year”.
The column went on to win awards – against all odds. Yes. How can a hilarious column be meaningful in a country where many are hungry and angry? Boko Haram, armed robbery, kidnapping, corruption , incompetence and crass impunity. Where is laughter in all this? Many readers found quite hilarious the yearly “Honours” in which the column offers awards to our leaders, cleverly highlighting their fables and foibles even as it appears to be praising them. “Where are they now?”borrowed from Prof Dare, occasionally probes into the lives of former public officials and politicians.
Nevertheless, the engagement continues. This reporter will be communicating with this audience and others in a different language – frank and fair – on another platform, the public platform. I promise that the patriotism and sincerity that characterise this column will be sustained.
