When a call for transparency, responsibility, accountability and integrity has smacked a semblance of evangelism and pentecostalism, then the few privileged, bequeathed elites have mimicked criminality and rascality as a desirable template for enthronement.
The country is plunged into unforeseen rascality and recklessness. The roadside mechanic imagines evil every time to sustain life and existence. ₦500 cannot cover for the lunch snacks of day students. There is no famine but the citizens cannot have food to eat. The ads in Nigeria talk about prison experience where food and water are free. This has taken over the imagination of folks who has found life demeaned and unceremoniously handicapped.
Besides, Nigeria is not just controlled by the Northern oligarchs; evil, impunity and desperation is in the air. Merit and hard work are already sidelined. The pubs, clubs, event centers are occupied by ritualists who relish abundance in the midst of scarcity. ‘Could you just keep quiet and allow things to be’, someone would ask. ‘Is it not their time to shine? Why would you still talk about a better Nigeria? The purveyors of a New Nigeria are being elusive.
The economy was bastardized. Business ventures do not pay nor yield profits. It became a one-man or one-party show. From 2019, importers became misanthropists. Everyone cared about how to survive. A breath of fresh air was been anticipated in 2023, but the agreement with the hegemonic North must be kept.
Unfortunately, there is weeping, mourning and sorrowing in every street, motor-parks, neighbourhoods and junctions. Many are moping, gazing and intruding without finding anything nor getting any meaning for their sustenance. Day-time robbery, bewitchment, hypnosis and attack is back. Theft, pilfering and stealing is a means of survival. Dark corners in Onitsha, Lagos and Abuja are not only the dangerous arena.
Conversely, the government seeks autonomy to all levels of education. Sectors with critical indices to development which developed countries still give paramount attention are purely neglected. Revenue and tax remittance is key in holding on to power. Nobodies who are poor and beggarly cannot qualify for any sensitive position in Nigeria.
In addition, Nigerian citizens are never rebellious. The first time Nigerians rebelled, it led to a civil war and so far, everyone has maintained a level-playing ground. What can you do? What do you have? And how do you intend to fight someone who holds the knife and the yam? The treachery and the great disappointment of February 25, 2023 notwithstanding, everyone goes about his normal business. Even with the deceit and exposure of certificate forgery in the highest order, it has been subsumed into the national life and the judiciary cannot be fingered. Nobody cares about what you are passing through and no one will give you free entrance into the various correctional centers. You must bribe the prison wardens before you could be allowed to see a loved one.
