On the 31st of March 2016 Nigeria's power station generated ZERO MEGAWATT for the first time in history! And this happened under the watch of a government that had once bragged under opposition not too long ago that the first thing any responsible government would do is to fix power problem in 6 months. And it's already 11 months of darkness since they came. This did not only come to increase the nation wide darkness but also compounded the already over bearing worriment of the longest fuel scarcity incident ever in the history of Nigeria. But the petroleum minister had promised that there will be enough fuel for us all within a week's ultimatum and guess what, that week has just ended and more darkness and more fuel-less-ness has been our fate - Another promise unfulfilled. Again, where is our President? Last week he was away just like other weeks. As if our problems in the country aren't enough for us he keeps embarrassing us on his tour episodes. Can you imagine? It's like Nigeria's problems are so much that even our president keeps running away from us. Even when he is outside the shores of the nation he, like the proverbial birds that have learned to fly without perching since the hunters have learned to shoot without missing, makes it his point of duty to keep avoiding anything related to Nigeria perhaps that explains why he was caught the other day on camera (some pix stories ago) sitting on a seat meant for the President of Niger Republic and some said it was the "angle" of the camera but just recently Our Excellency has been caught again avoiding Nigeria by sitting on a table meant for the President of Chile and I'm wondering which "circle" of the camera caught him this time around. Fellow Nigerians! It is no longer funny if at all it ever was because our nation is drowning fast. Alas! "Sai Baba" has again skipped town for China this time. For what? Well, last time he skipped town we hear he went shopping for nuclear weapons now we hear he's amongst other things going to negotiate terms and conditions for borrowing $2b to run Nigeria. And I'm wondering - whatever happened to the much talked about $200b from looted money allegedly starched in Dubai?
What about the $6b of former PDP Govs and Ministers that Uncle Sam is helping us repatriate?
How about the the returns and refunds by the loads of thieves under GEJ?
Where are the trillions of Nairas raked in by the Nigeria Customs Service?
O' lest I forget, which millions of dollars do they say TSA has saved?
Again, it has been another week of travails and I must commend the suicidal fanaticism of the APC supporters who queue for hours to buy a liter of fuel at the price of a plate of food in a luxury restaurant, power their "I pass my neighbour" to charge their Tecno phones with which they use to tweet how GMB is so much like Obama. Perhaps what they meant is "Osama!"
Only God knows who they will compare GMB with this week when he returns with "Chinco" good news- Muhammed or Jesus? Apparently when we clamoured for "Change" we failed to pray as a nation for "Change." and this "Changi" has become an inexpiably majuscule socio-political contretemps. The bible tells us that "faith without work is dead" and I belive we've now seen that "work without faith is worst."
Oh, dearly beloved, let us pray for our president and our nation.
Happy travails Nigeria!
Good luck my country people!!
