But they said they are the whiz kids from Lagos. That the magic of Lagos was going to be reignited at the federal level. Eight months after, it is ebin kpawa
What really happened?
Where are the heroes of Lagos?
What is on the ground shows that the policy makers from Eko do not understand governance?
The policy flip flop has created a condition of acute poverty
Just like one commentator said, only those in the corridors of power are smiling
The rest are facing Armageddon, a state of calamity and brutality
The politics of the land is toxic as only Lagosians are in power, while the other “O” states are lamenting
Cronyism and inner caucus have betrayed the movement
Emilokan movement is so ordinary and bereft of ideas that grand old Buhari that spent eight years junketing is even perceived to be better.
So, Emilokan is about the fulfillment of personal ambition
Even the Imams that were shouting Muslim/Muslim tickets are busy gnashing their teeth
They have now become wiser
That the Muslim/Muslim agenda is a hoax
Now they can’t go for pilgrimage because they don’t have N5 million
Where will they see the dollar?
Who dash monkey banana
No politician is even visiting their mosque anymore
Even Mr. Vice President has become a motivational speaker
He is busy admonishing Nigerians to be of good behaviour since leaders who are to turn things around have lost ideas
The ideas that were robustly generated during electioneering campaigns have vaporised into thin air
Now, the singsong by the Talakawas is hunger
Our currency is as worthless as a river that ships cannot navigate
You need a bagco cement sack of naira to seek $300
The economic gurus of Lagos have been turned into ordinary finance speculators
All those spotless suits and Oxford shoes are just abracadabra
What happened to years of study at Harvard and Yale School of Economics?
Social media have been laughing at them
Even Zimbabweans and South Africans are having a good laugh
South Sudan, a country as poor as anything, is poking Nigeria
Pls where is the Save Nigeria Group
Where are Professor Wole Soyinka and Pastor Tunde Bakare that gave Jonathan Nightmares?
Where are all the lagos musicians
Where are the Kuti Brothers?
Have they forgotten their father’s lyrics?
44 sitting and 99 standing
This is when the talakawa need them most
Have they forgotten their Uncle Dr Beko Ransome Kuti
Where are the offspring of Late Dr Bala Usman in this respect
And where are the Professor Pantamis of this world
That cried and prayed that the Jonathan administration should be changed
And what has changed today
And why are there no prayers to the Almighty that the poor should be rescued
The Lagos politicians have failed the people
They boasted that it is about brains and not brawl
This is the regime of the most educated people in Africa
What a paradox.
