“History does not repeat itself; man does” – Harvard Prof. Barbara Tuchman
My heart sank after reading the summary of the 2024 Budget and the promise by the Tinubu government to create a $1 trillion economy in ten years. Now, I am inclined to believe that Nigeria will never become the global economic power we yearn for as long as we continue to elect men seventy years and above as Presidents.
They all belong to the same
generation making empty promises; thinking that they were inspiring their
listeners.
All our Presidents, since 1999, including Jonathan, are far less informed about economics and social trends than many of their own citizens with good Master’s Degrees from reputable universities.
