Just imagine the wonders going on in Burkina Faso at the moment under the visionary leadership of the 36 year old youngest Military leader of the country, Capt Ibrahim Traore , who sacked their nation’s former colonial master , France and took full control of their nation’s gold and other natural resources, which he turned into awesome bastard wealth , from where he’s performing wonders , to the shocking disbelief of Nigeria’s muddle-headed rulers and those of other visionless African heads of States .
Why does President Tinubu , take enormous delight in persuading the National Assembly for endless external loans borrowing from International Financial Institutions, like the World Bank and the IMF , as he frequently demands, without evidence of productivity, baking more national cakes than conspicuously consuming already baked national cakes , without monetary and fiscal discipline, blowing our external debt to over N43trillion , when he should demonstrate visionary leadership in harnessing our economic sources of wealth and turning them into gold , after shunning external loans borrowing ?
Why should the National Assembly constitute themselves into accomplices in the imposition of heavy debt portfolio burden on our nation, by doing Tinubu’s bidding, because of their fraudulent cuts from loans arranged for the presidency, thereby bastardizing our political economy ? WHY ?
Why are the Nigerian Government Authorities, unable to learn good lessons from Capt Ibrahim Traore , who today has not taken the world by storm , but has proven their leadership style wrong , as they continued to lie to the citizens on parameters of good governance , accountability , transparency and delivery of the dividends of democracy, which Capt Traore accomplished in 3 years of his leadership of Burkina Faso ?
Who then has been fooling who in Nigeria, with a bloated government size and bureaucracy ?
In the United States today , most Americans have taken to the streets on public protests against President Trade War with Tariffs, which has worsen the people’s economic pains , with potential signs of inflation and recession, demonstrating their rejection of Trump’s leadership style in failing to address issues the people care about and not his confused political approach to global affairs as they relate to the United States, just barely two months plus of his inauguration .
Americans don’t play .
They would make Trump pay heavily at the polls , during the next Congressional Elections , if he fails to change his policies and deliver on promises , which today remains an uphill task.
The next 4 years will not be easy for him .
You see how the people to whom power in any democracy reacts at policies of any administration inimical to their interests, not in Nigeria, where Nigerians remain moronic, docile , gullible, abused , enslaved and powerless to even speak up and out , in the face of a crushing misrule of their government .
What kind of people are Nigerians in the political strata of government ?
What’s the role of the people, when their government is drifting towards the wrong direction ?
We’re ashamed of the dismal performance of Tinubu’s Government and the President’s leadership failures and inability to deliver on promises, after forcefully clinching the people’s electoral mandate , not by democratic means , but by force ?
It’s manifestly unfortunate, absurd and disgraceful to say the least .
That’s the truth about the tragedy of our undemocratic system in Nigeria, where the authorities prefer to go on borrowing spree and mortgaging our future than turning the nation around for the greater good .
Do you know that , Buhari, Tinubu and CO , have mortgaged our future and those of future generations ?
Who would repay all these trillions of loans debts , when those who incurred them are gone ?
