Is Dele Momodu a journalist agent of President Buhari? Doesn't he know the implications of one party system like China, North Korea etc where freedom of expression is almost non-existent? Is he paving the way for dealth penalty for fake news bill in the Senate? 
We should reject his proposal in totality. 
We should deal with why politics has become more attractive to Nigerians than working in the industries and other economic ventures. 
The attraction in politics in Nigerian political space is power and free money. The political power enables political office holders and their loyalists to steal from the national oil money and kill with impunity. Was it not demonstrated in the last  gubernatorial election in Kogi State? Politics is a lucrative business rather than a call to serve the people. 
We should reduce the cost for making politics attractive and have a ceilling on the number of political parties. 
Segun Ogungbemi.

Momodu is being satirical

Satirical, did you say?

We could do a lot better with blasphemous & facetious heretics and infidels (kuffar) like Dele Momodu, but for the inconvenience of their being misread and therefore those who misread them being misled by those who don’t know that sometimes for e.g. a so-called realist like Herr Dele Momodu, truth is stranger than fiction or vice versa,

considering that

“A perfect Judge will read each work of Wit

With the same spirit that its author writ…”

In this exceeding long document (which if need be, one could return to, again and again) the author has made many incorrigible observations, some of which are crying out for an amendment or two, for example, by doctoring the document, this major line,

“Since 2015, when President Muhammadu Buhari miraculously returned to power, things have not been at ease for his opponents or the opposition”

could read as follows,

down here tow stairs below:

 “Since 2015, when President Muhammadu Buhari miraculously returned to power, things have not been at ease for the opportunists, the sycophants, the wantonly corrupt, who have, since the miracle occurred, been trembling in fear, praying that that the anti-corruption justice will never overtake them…

And what does Mister Momodou have to say about these several endorsements , the rewards for honesty and the hearty congratulations to the winners of the gubernatorial elections that have just been successfully concluded? 

Momodu is being satirical
