Nigerians I hail thee! They write a script and by all means, make sure everything in the script comes to play.
At
the declaration of the lockdown, they discredited the idea, calling it
premature since we did not have the economic power as nationals to cope under
the situation. Most of us live by the day they claimed.
They
predicted non-compliance to the lockdown, hunger, increase in crime and many
more. And yes, every single item played out. The scariest was the insecurity
of life and property, as hoodlums and criminals invaded the homes of innocent
Nigerians.
After
weeks of wailing by the scriptwriters on behalf of Nigerians, the Federal Government decided to ease the lockdown and abolish 'our hunger'. Then suddenly,
the scriptwriters rear their ugly heads yet again.....This time, they claimed the time isn't right for the lockdown to be eased or called off, they believed the continued increase in the number of infected Nigerians vs the low tested
number portends danger for us all...
They have likened those who would be out
there in the next 24hrs, to the birds sent out by Noah from the ark after the
flood... Guinea Pigs. They continue to build fear in us every single time.
Who
are the scriptwriters and what do they set out to achieve by doing all of
these? Are their concerns genuine or simply cries to score cheap points while
ensuring Nigeria achieves no stability...Economic, Financial or otherwise?
...the
questions are hanging in the wind.
