There is hunger in the land. Real hunger. Hunger for food. Hunger for truth. Hunger for security. Hunger for reassurance that the Nigerian dream is not going off in a puff.
Hunger for heroes, for real heroes. Hunger for true religion. Hunger for stability. Hunger for ethnic harmony. Hunger for the rise of true leaders. Hunger for true democracy. Hunger for a true federation. Hunger for a country in which though tribes and tongue may differ, in brotherhood we stand. But the hunger of millions of Nigerians for food, for the capacity to put food on the table and feed their families is overwhelming. Inflation is flying like a supersonic jet.
How does the average civil servant fare? What about the petty trader? The average family of four or five? How are they coping with the scary and frightening rate of inflation? How much money is available to them to feed? These are not persons who are crying over restructuring the country. They are not worried about the big issues of the day. They just want to get on with the business of living daily. They do not hate, at least not on account of religion ethnicity or cultural difference.
Nigerians abroad keep saying ‘when will things in that country change? It is no longer their country. It is that country! Poignant. Worrying. Not comforting.
