THE long, gloomy faces of frustrated motorists at the even longer queues of vehicles waiting to buy petrol provided a fitting epitaph to the year that just ended
. For a population afflicted by many ills, 2022 was a particularly miserable year marked by violence, bloodshed, poverty, shortages of food and energy, endless scandals and a political class becoming more degenerate by the day. The fiery cleric, Mathew Kukah, in his Christmas homily, graphically pointed out the shortcomings of the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari , who along with regime figures, continues to play the ostrich.
Kukah’s intervention summarises the view of most Nigerians. With just five months before he exits power, Kukah arguedthat Buhari is leaving Nigerians much more helpless than he met them in 2015. Doctors and other medical professionals are fleeing abroad for better work conditions while regime ministers trivialise the issue with insensitive statements.
