I must begin with a confession that I am not an economist! My
dabbling into a topic with its moorings in economics is the consequence of
provocation by those who rule, run and ruin Nigeria. The ruling class too often
feels that the rest of us do not think and are therefore bound to swallow
opinions hook line and sinker without asking questions.
*Buhari and Ahmad
This tendency to undermine the people is also traceable to our docility and inability to follow through clamours for accountability and good governance. We occasionally raise alarm and frown at some of government’s inanities, but we give up too soon and move on and those who created such discomfitures laugh and mock the brevity of our critical response and also move on to perpetuate more devious schemes that hold us down. Economics and politics are no rocket sciences.
