There is so much rage in the land. People are angry at those that presently manage our commonwealth. Even the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Bola Tinubu,
has succumbed to the mass angst and is also attacking his own party. But I want us to understand one important truth. It is not about Nigeria. It is about the entire global system. People are fed up with the way society is run. The poor heaps the blame on the rich. The world is desperately in need of socio-political change. But I recognise that we in sub-Saharan Africa should be the first beneficiary of any paradigm shift because we are the poorest of the poor.
But before we get carried away with the exciting “hope for change”, which Obi represents, let us put the Nigerian political scenario in its true global context. From my green point of view, what we are witnessing in Nigeria is simply an extension of the yearnings of the people of the earth. There are so many resources but few people are benefitting from them. Then, these few rich beneficiaries do not even care about the environment while exploiting the earth and the poor.
What is more, when delegates began to arrive in Davos, ‘Debt for Climate’ activists protested at a private airport in eastern Switzerland, which they said would be used by some WEF attendees; and they issued a statement calling for foreign debts of poorer countries to be cancelled in order to accelerate the global energy transition.
