ARIKOR OGONNAYA: ZAHRA, YOU NAME IS TRENDING FOR THE WRONG REASONS

Zahra, my point is simply that your picture going viral like that of Kim Kardashian isn’t what your father really wants at the moment. 
Your name suddenly becoming a trending topic doesn’t augur well for your father’s political bid. It is trending for the wrong reasons.
Your father is someone who has been hailed throughout the media as a spotless saviour; a sinless messiah and a guiltless saint. 
His “change” mantra says so. For somebody who is vigorously trying to so ‘change’ Nigeria as he claims, his first port of call should be our attitudes, lifestyle and mentality. 
And having his daughter’s picture trending on Twitter isn’t the best way to begin such change.
Politics, as you know it in ‘oyinboland’, has a totally different meaning back here in Nigeria. 
Nigerian politics is really ‘politicks’ translating into ‘poli’ — many, and ‘ticks’ — blood-sucking insects. 
Zahra, do you want such blood-sucking political insects to go for your loving father’s blood?
 I guess not. Well, having your picture trending on social media is such great avenue.
