To a people addicted to the tragic luxury of
self-delusion, truth hurts so badly. But then, truth always refuses to go away.
It lingers around to perpetually taunt and haunt those that loathe and despise
its face.
And the truth we can no longer afford to deny today is
that anybody, in fact, any animal can rule Nigeria. I mean, even a bird or baboon
can become Nigeria’s president or governor. It is that simple! All it will
take, after all, is for the person to get a Prof Mahmood Yakubu and his band of
magicians at the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to announce
his “victory,” and that would be all. But if, for whatever reason, they fail,
the Supreme Court can be relied upon any day to perfectly deliver the mandate!
