Welcoming Mr Buhari – Adewale Sobowale

I understand Mr Buhari should resume work on the sixth of February.

That’s great, isn’t it?

He is a famous man! If he wasn’t all the concern about his health wouldn’t have arisen.

I was in a taxi yesterday. Lo and behold, a funeral motorcade approached us from the opposite direction. The person sitting next to me went philosophical.

He said the dead soul was lucky. He was lucky because people were there to give him the last favour.

Burying him!

Let’s thank God Mr Buhari did not die. If he did, even though it would have been most regrettable, his death would have been celebrated.

It wouldn’t have been because certain unpatriotic elements were wishing him dead. It would have been from an old age illness.

Yes, he wouldn’t have died young at seventy-four. In fact, his death would have been one of amala and abula.

And that’s why some people will roll out the drums to welcome his saintly excellency. I understand the National Youth Council of Nigeria (NYCN) will be the vanguard.

It is just right for them, the NYCN, to do so. We have really missed Mr Buhari.

We have missed his good impact on the economy.

He has fulfilled all his campaign promises.

He promised that he will make a naira equal to the dollar. He has done just that. Not only has he done it, the naira is on its way to having more value than the dollar.

There is light everywhere now. This is because power generation is now at an optimum level. We now use solar energy. We even generate power from wastes.

Our universities are now the brides of all nations. Foreign students and lecturers now come for exchange and sabbatical programmes respectively.

When we go to the market, a naira is enough to buy a bagful of food items. In fact, all of us are getting fatter because we’re overeating.

The government has even been gracious enough to set up a task force to control prices. Yes, since the government has been so hardworking to provide the conducive environment for goods to be produced at a cheap rate, we wonder why middlemen are yet to comply. In any case, they will be dealt with.

We are no longer a tokunbo economy. A tokunbo economy is one that believes used goods are better than new ones. In the past, things were so bad that we even wore tokunbo underwear. Then, everything about us was tokunbo.

It was bad to the extent that we even had tokunbo brides and grooms!

And what’s more, we now export machinery. In fact, the foreign exchange we get from our exports is more than enough.

We are even thinking of stopping oil exports. This is because we want to be environmental friendly.

Our government is wondering why some unpatriotic elements, led by a common musician, Doubleface, are trying to organise a protest.

This government shall not, and will not tolerate indiscipline!!!
