It is a
dawn of new reality in Nigeria .
Nigerians, as a people, and Nigeria ,
as a country, are now better informed about “the state of things as they
actually exist,” as distinct from “idealistic or notional idea of them.” At
present, nobody can be hoodwinked. As they say, he who wears the shoe knows
where it pinches. Nigerians of all classes know the bad state of things in the
country. They wear the shoe. They know where it pinches. And they are
expressing themselves in various ways.

Within
the week, former President Olusegun Obasanjo left nobody in doubt about his
realisation that Muhammadu Buhari’s government is a disaster. The Owu man who,
directly and indirectly, supported the election of Buhari in 2015, could no
longer pretend. Looking at the state of things, he made a conclusion to the
effect that things are going from bad to worse. He did not mince words in
saying that Buhari should “consider a deserved rest at this point in time and
at this age.”
