Whenever Buhari finishes dealing with Nigeria, it’s so apparent the country will not be the same. It’s even if Nigeria remains as one.
Please, do note that I never said ‘one indivisible’, because the embers of division are already there in Nigeria. The painful thing about that is that those in government are fanning them by their actions and inactions.
But back to the the topic of selling Nigeria. Is the country not for sale the way it’s borrowing from whomever? I’m not, for any reason, against borrowing. But we must have plans.
I once heard a sermon of people winning the lottery. If a businessman wins a lottery, the winnings would be invested straight away.
However, if a man without a plan wins, he would be e thinking of buying a private jet without thinking of parking costs for the hangar.
Nigeria is owing China, Brazil, the World Bank from whom it’s even acting the Oliver Twist, and some other countries.
It has no visible means of paying it’s debts. By now, I would have thought the people in governance would go into modest ways by reducing salaries, cutting unnecessary expenditure and more.
But no, they’re living as if the country is productive. They hardly have plans for the nation’s future.
We’ve seen China seizing properties of nations that failed to pay their debts.
What would Nigeria’s fate be?
