The First Lady, Dame Patience Jonathan, exudes excesses, a certain superfluity that jumps at you
whether you study her instill images or actual life. From her outsized personality of her self-
aesthetization, one sees a woman whose effervescence is not self-containing. In the past five years,
Mrs. Jonathan has impressed her persona on Nigeria’s cultural imagination and she qualifies as a
subject of academic studies on a wide-ranging number of topics. …This past election season, she
went all out and even beyond the bounds of her Self that Nigerians have known. Her relentless
abuses of Muhammadu Buhari, and her many gaffes while campaigning (including her sincere non-
understanding of what constitute ‘corruption’) was like a faucet turned on at full speed; it was
perhaps no surprise her cup was soon full1.

The president gave corruption a well-furnished chair in his dining room. …The
president made evil deed attractive. People commit crimes and get away with it.
As long as you belong to the president party or you know his wife, you are safe.
A criminal runs to Aso Rock for being called a thief and the president shut the
gate and say, be not afraidM.
