WE will do the unusual in our discourse today. We will copiously quote Nigeria’s president, Alhaji Bola Ahmed Tinubu, in his address to a university convocation about two weeks ago.
But first, the summary of what he said. He claimed in his usual unconscionable, insensitive, provocative, and uncaring manner that the ‘good life’ Nigerians had enjoyed before he happened to the presidency was fake, unreal, undeserved, and contrived. He said that that life was bogus, founded on falsehood, and erected on nothing really.
He said we lived the life of, to use a local parlance, 419ers. Four one nine (419) is a clause in Nigeria’s criminal code that deals with obtaining by false pretext. In other words, in the president’s full contemplation, Nigerians were all 419ners or were made to appear so until he came and removed the so-called petrol subsidy on May 29, 2023.
What a man! What callousness! What a president of a people going through severe privations visited on them by himself.
