Talon Benin?
Benin has been worse than an economic predator. It is more like a reckless but foolish parasite, burying its snout inside its host. In its close-eyed bliss, it forgets if the host dies, the parasite too goes kaput!
The Buhari government’s agricultural policy is hinged on grow what you eat and eat what you grow. Audu Ogbeh, former Agriculture minister, pushed that policy with such patriotic venom, with the CBN backing him with specific supportive monetary policies and incentives. Petrol smuggling was — and still is — an open sore! Nigerian fuel is retailed, in Cotonou and Porto Novo, in ubiquitous, monstrous bottles, with hardly any fuel station opening again.
That explains why President Talon went begging President Muhammadu Buhari in Japan for a lift, just as the late President Mathieu Kerekou came begging former President Obasanjo, at the Badagry border town, during an earlier face-off.
