Tribute To Nyansako Ni-Nku: Midget Feet In Nku’s Giant Boots

As flowers in bloom always attract bees in search of nectar, so do prominent and powerful people attract praise-singers scheming for opportunities. But the buzz and the flutter of wings soon drift away once the bloom fades. Posthumous praise as a fashionable expression of our generosity is an exercise in futility. It is often too little, sometimes too much, certainly too late to be useful to the departed.
