Persons suffering from egolalalia ; or a tendency towards megalomania are narcissistic. They believe the world revolves around them. I am not saying this is your lot. It will take quite a battery of personality tests to establish it. I am only digging around for insight. Two statements you made of late keep some of us wondering as per your actual motive. Sir, you recently said that Nigeria is now ripe for restructuring . But curiously you didn’t allow this in your time. You also said recently that Nigeria is still a country and not yet a nation.
As a forensic/social psychologist that has a bias for leadership, power, and conflict, I find it more and more difficult to understand why you cannot let go. Other former heads of state and former presidents may be interested in the affairs of the nation and expectedly so. But they do not bear it down the necks of the incumbents. One believes that they reach out behind the scene as should. But you write open letters to the presidents rather than discuss with them in private using back channels.
We even heard that Jonathan had to use Tippex to cover his signature after assenting to the last amendment that deeply addressed the restoration of Nigeria to federalism. I read his ‘My Transition Hours’, hoping to see the reason he declined assent to the 1999 constitution alteration bill, which had been passed by the national assembly and concurrently affirmed by 24 states of the federation but saw nothing.
