January Rice Pyramids
It was Tontoh Dikeh that alleged that Celebrities borrow Dollars from Bureau
De Change operators to show off.Just coming from arguably the most popular festive season in Nigeria and the government is displaying bags of Rice in an obscene show of shame.
I wonder if the bags were borrowed from a neighbouring country. Otherwise, it would have been displayed prior to Christmas and New Year to gladden the embattled citizens suffering under the throes of Inflation.
If the President is a soldier, stoic and stubborn, at least the Vice President should have warned him that the display would touch raw nerves.
Now it has and questions are being asked. At a time when Rice should have been made available for consumption, government is planning a show to hoodwink the citizens.
This government has been poor in many facets but this is an abysmal display of insensitivity and myopia.

You captured it well.
ReplyDeleteI further asked deep within me. Do they learned this "show of shame" from the then groundnut pyramid?
In 2015 a bag of rice was around N7k but today it is over N30k! In an economy where their is a government and there is no war. Was government practicing hoarding of one if the most essential commodities?. We expect to see trader money during 2023 general election. Not from an NGO but from government/ruling Political Party.
Will Nigeria ever return to the "glorious" days.?
Oh! The glorious days have painfully gone extinct, I would say.

DeleteVery, very insensitive and very dubious! These exhibitionists are just out to make fools out of gullible citizens as they are used to. How I wish all these evil politicians would just been gotten rid of and we start again afresh with real people, like Jerry Rawlings did. But who can try that here, when everyone is involved in the evil practice. Corruption in Nigeria, is everywhere,!!
