What, with the downward trend in all the social and economic indicators spanning a period of almost two decades. Yes, Nigeria and Nigerians were subjected to a de-humanising and suffocating reign of terror characterized by state sanctioned murders, debilitating graft, fallen educational standards, untold economic hardship, moral decay, loss of human dignity and integrity, moribund infrastructure, greed and avarice. Nigeria descended to a level that was at best unfathomable to any one, Nigerian or otherwise that was aware of the abundance of so much talent and possibilities in our land. How appropriate and befitting one might say. Both require courage, resolve and nerves, but more especially foresight and fortitude.
Statecraft is also, above all, concerned with engineering.
How profound I must say. I guess this must be what IBBs so-called idea of social engineering is all about. His transition programme was not only full of turns and twists, it was in fact laden with mischief and treachery. As a result of his lack of foresight and dysfunctional psyche, scores of innocent people from all works of life, lost their precious lives and loved ones. Things have indeed gotten to a head in this political crucible called Nigeria.
