The former Aviation Minister, Femi Fani-Kayode (FFK), could be described as a glorified social critic, who thinks that the rest of us owe him the entitlement of national recognition. In a nation where big executive fools comport themselves as gods and demi-gods, nothing less is expected from the Fani-Kayodes of this world in their pompous haughty heights.
