Tinubu-Ruto banter as food for thought, by Azu Ishiekwene

Kenyan President William Ruto joked about Nigerian English during an event in Italy, eliciting reactions from Nigeria. Despite the economic challenges both countries face, Ruto attempted to downplay the difficulties by mocking the language. Nigerian President Bola Ahmed Tinubu remarked that despite high fuel prices, Nigerians are 'better off' than citizens in other African countries. Both leaders now face the difficult task of addressing their respective economies.
