Clearly, the
President, ‘saint’ Muhammadu Buhari’, is embarking on his scandalously numerous
foreign junkets as an escapist ploy to avoid the embarrassment of his overly
long siren-blaring convoy of state-of-the-art, fuel-guzzling SUV’s having to
cruise down our death-trap roads whooshing past eternally long queues of
hundreds of thousands of Nigerians stranded at Petrol Station in a desperate
bid to get some fuel to power their vehicles, homes and lives.
For today, the train takes off to China; thereafter probably to North Korea to exchange ideas with Kim Jong-un on brutality. As the
number of options for such escapades continue to diminish (already there has
been 4 swings to the United States, and frolics to territories of dubious value
to Nigeria) it is only expected that the numerous Presidential aides who in
addition to believing they are shielding their boss from the shame of having to
wastefully cruise the streets of Nigeria’s cities at a time when anger is
palpably entrenched on the faces of millions of Nigerians, also get their pockets
get lined from hefty largesse’s they amass for themselves in the name of ‘estacodes’
for the ‘inconvenience’ of having to spend days in 5-Star hotels in foreign
lands, will soon dream up such ideas as a State Visit to inspect Mount Everest
or Antarctica, under the ploy of exploring how a country in the tropics can
benefit from harnessing Snow.
Some Nigerians had been deceived by a deluge of claims of a pious mien rooted in integrity and humility, alas we are now confronted with a spendthrift relic who seems anxious to cover as much mileage and profligacy as possible to cover for 2 to 3 lifetimes.
No matter
how long the flight takes, planes still have to land. Nigerians are indeed
looking forward to when Mr. President will visit the country and begin to
govern.

to buy fuel (an aberration that has grown into a norm since the misadventure of
the present regime)
