Opinion: The Make Or Break Decade For Nigeria Is Here, By Bámidélé Adémólá-Olátéjú
I don’t know how it can be done, given that those in charge are tone deaf and they do not care. But for what it is worth, a replacement of the outdated settlement of 1999 must be worked out now. We need a genuine programme to emphasise production and make the country an export-oriented economy, ready to compete in the fourth industrial revolution. We have a very short time to rescue Nigeria.
From the converging chaos, it is clear that the Buhari sideshow is descending, as Marx said of Louis Napoleon Bonaparte, “from tragedy into farce”. People must start calling for a new replacement for the 1999 settlement now. If Nigeria erupts in flames, these folks are old in their late 70s or 80s. They don’t have much to lose. They will spend a few years in London and die there, while United Nations peace keepers will ration biscuits and soup to you all. This is the time to speak up.
