Good Luck, Nigeria - Punch Newspapers

The most widely read newspaper in Nigeria

For many years, as a young columnist, I ended my independence anniversary essays with the following words, “Happy Birthday, Nigeria.”

I saw—and interviewed—Joseph Tarka and Godwin Daboh, two men of Benue State stock who were among the early confronters of the corruption question in the streets. Abacha would become the first Head of State to die in Aso Rock, working under imported Bollywood-style women. He may have developed that taste from watching Indian movies, but Jeremiah Useni, perhaps the only one who knows, has never been asked.

In the years in which I have seen these men, I have learned that absent in almost all of them is that burning patriotic zeal it takes to be a builder. That courage of that zeal is what makes a true leader to deny himself and to sacrifice.They are also often distinguished by their hatred of Nigeria and its people. This is why not one of them can stay awake long enough to ensure that one patriotic thought is completed, or one major road constructed.

Hiding behind dark glasses, Abacha wanted to stay in power for life. Actually, he did. His true story then began to unravel as the world found out what a thieving clown he had been. That is why Nigeria’s educational system has collapsed and our children are begging for schools in South Africa and Ghana.
