SATIRE

The use of humor like the Resident Presidents Olushambles and Kibarkingmad do on the BBC to ridicule expose and criticize people’s stupidity and vices particularly in the context of politics, leadership, and other topical issues. Satire uses sarcasm irony, exaggeration chiefly in artistic and dramatic methods to correct human folly, abuses and shortcomings. Writers through prose, compositions make fun of leaders’ ideas to show faults using a piece of writing. Satire is a genre of visual performing arts in the form of fiction, although it is usually meant to be humorous, its greater purpose is often constructive social criticism using wit to draw attention to both particular and wider issues of society.

“The aim of satire is to reform discuss”.

Satire picks on the flaws as in the study of sociology based on witty criticism satirical social reform and presented through caricatures, cartoons in a fascinating manner to portray society and address setbacks. In the political arena all unfortunate events instigated to retard, delay progress, for example imprisoning opposition leaders are moves which represent a setback for the peace and transition process and consequently defeat, check, destroy political careers; this keeps leaders from gaining ground preventing political flow due to keen competition. In this way nobody gets hurt but popular opinion is addressed put out of the minds of most maybe it calms some nerves down; downplays the pain and ache in many hearts. Once you listen to such drama you calm down, stop worrying listen to music, do your folk-lore&coke-lore; just relax as things will be fine take it as a pinch of salt do not get so upset those are nonsensical setbacks.

Vices plague our societies rampant corruption even where health is concerned like we hear about money for COVID-19 in many countries have been unaccounted for, unemployment is everywhere even the superpowers are fighting this, abduction by gunmen is on the rise, violence on women and girls is news all over the world, murder, killings, rape and many more. Insecurity is on the rise, governments cannot handle causing frustration amongst people and there is growing concern what the pattern of life will take. Crying, wailing and pain can only be dampened through satire; putting the right stage to handle the various ills plaguing the universe in which we all live is essential play your role.
