Nigeria on the crux of history

                  Donald J Trump

Strange things are happening and stranger things are about to happen. I

am not a seer but somehow, I wonder at the events around so far.

Guillermo Vilas of Argentina in 1983 was ranked number 4 in the world, in Tennis. Nigeria's Nduka Odizor was ranked number 82. At the centre Court of the All England Club, at that year's Wimbledon, Nduka Odizor defeated ageing Vilas in Five Sets.

Then Nduka Odizor made a statement that to be a great player, you have to beat one.

Just like our local soothsayers did not predict the Covid - 19 pandemic, what is about to happen to Nigeria, has also escaped their crystal ball.

First,the greatest country in the world today, the US, stood against a Nigerian as President of our own AFDB and unlike in the past, the US lost.

To be a great country, you have to beat one. Now, the US is about to lose another one against Nigeria. What makes it more significant is that unlike the US, their arguments against Nigeria and their Ngozi Okonjo - Iweala, emerging WTO Director General is incoherent.

Next, when Obama was going for a second term, the American SEAL played a smart one with the death of Osama Bin Ladin. Donald Trump is going for a second term and this time the SEAL pick on, of all countries, Nigeria, to pull their stunt.

Then finally, three Nigerians have so far won elections in the current US elections.

The icing on the cake is the EndSARS protests and the aftermath. Only a few will doubt that Nigeria will never remain the same again, what with the rash of changes going on today.

In all this, my one take, is that every Nigerian, makes a wise choice because, the events of today are unforgiving.
