By Abdu Rafiu The phrase, being smart, connotes something unsavoury; something that leaves a nasty taste in the mouth.

The first is the Sword of Damocles dangling over Siminalayi Fubara’s head despite Chamberlainist appeasement to placate the gods in his domain and placing the fetish of sacrifice in the shrines.
