The news of the
deportation of Nigerians intending to perform the pilgrimage (Hajj) in Mecca, Saudi Arabia, is yet one more slide
down the steps to infamy.
When will it dawn on
these impostors who parade as elected public officials in Nigeria that the
world is daily becoming aware of the scam represented in the contraption called
Nigeria and will continue to treat the country with disdain and ridicule?
Is it when the President himself gets deported from a foreign trip?
Even Saudi Arabia is now deporting Nigerians who went for pilgrimage (on account of the fact that the Nigerian Government does not constitute sufficient guarantor/husband for Nigerian female pilgrims). The fact that Saudi Arabia allows the governments of all other countries to stand as surety for their female pilgrims should at least let the fact sink into the thick skulls of our rulers that something is terribly wrong with our polity.
With the ever increasing number of Nigerians travelling to Saudi Arabia and other Middle-Eastern countries to stash away looted public funds, I guess it must by now have dawned on Vice President Namadi Sambo and his ilk in government, that merely siphoning public funds to purchase property in Saudi Arabia does not prevent your country from international disgrace in Saudi!
Previously, lesser endowed countries who eat from the crumbs of our tables and could never have dared being heard where Nigeria shows up, have suddenly begun to stand up and contest against Nigeria.
NB: Perhaps our Muslim brothers who are in the habit of adorning their vehicles and offices with the Saudi national flags will take a cue from the unfolding debacle.
We still have an opportunity to right the wrongs before it gets too late; Restructure and Renegotiate the contraption!
