"Dot In A Circle"

[Chidi Anthony Opara, FIIM]

The "dot in a circle" in the Buhari speech was a metaphor.

A "dot in a circle" would mean the fulcrum on which the circle circulates.

As a creative writer, I could describe any person I respect, who is also a peaceful person as a "lamb".

A literary interpretation would mean that the person is meek and peace loving.

A literal interpretation would mean that the person is likened to a lower animal (an insult).

Since I am writing metaphorically, the literary interpretation should apply.

Methinks that that speech was written by a creative writer, writing metaphorically and so the literary interpretation should apply.
