Tweet: The Fallacy That Is Freedom Of Speech.

• Bandits terrorising our people are foreigners – Niger Gov
• Lalong to police: I don’t want to hear unknown gunmen again

I must confess it made a good read. I say well done to the author

My concern, however, is the theme of the page is that it is ‘A Physician Diary’, what is the correlation between physician and freedom of speech? One would have thought the author centres all writings on health-related matters.

The newspaper has stopped several columns that were apt, impactful and focused only to retain few columns that  appear to be largely unfocused.

It is, however, your paper and you can choose to present it the way and manner you wish.

However, as a stakeholder in the paper, I wish to draw your attention to this fact and to make the observation for possible amend.

My apologies please if ever anyone feels hurt as I have given my self an adviser position albeit unsolicited

I wish you all the best
