You are braver than you think, stronger than you seem and smarter than you believe

Alan Smith

When I grew up as a child there was a common word on the streets of Lagos “Illiterate”! Those words strung in my mind as my parents resound it as an offensive word when I was not doing well with schoolwork. I never wanted to be an illiterate. Reading the works of Nigerian writers like Eze goes to school and the Macmillan series of “Agbo” congealed my heart about being educated like some of my other school-going age mates.

Graduating from the university, I discovered that literacy is a form of knowledge different from intelligence, exposure and depth. The inability to balance this is not just a lacunae in our educational system but a misunderstanding of our Nigerian populace. Few days ago, the governor of Ekiti State Ayo Fayose asserted that the APC presidential candidate, Muhammadu Buhari, went on a medical trip to London.

1425056563513This was decried by the oppositional detractors and might have shaken some supporters of the aspirant. The supporters cannot be blamed due to the fresh unprecedented saddening demise of President Yar’ adua while in office a few years ago. The death of Yar’ adua is human and the fear of Buhari being human is causing a rancour.

The humanness I refer to in the context is the ability to fall sick, age, live and die though we do not wish it. The existence of humans as we all know is bound to nature and General Buhari is not a man made of steel. Even the greatest dead men cannot boast of having the knowledge of the day, time, age or period fall sick and die. Since checking one’s health is tantamount to ensuring according to human capability that one stays alive, It is claptrap to denounce a man for checking his health status. 1425056589823

There is a different observation from the myopic fact of Ayo Fayose. The observation is the recent shown movements and strategies of APC, that is birthed because of the postponed elections. An ardent follower of the news would be realize that Professor Osibanjo begun a new kind of campaign, the grassroot campaign which was lacking before the postponement of the elections while his boss and allies take the campaign abroad to sell out their credibility and preparedness to stabilize our scourged country.

It is foolhardy to buy the facts of Fayose that the General is incapable of ruling this country. While in fact, he has struggled in both youth and frail, weak and strong, sick and healthy to serve this country because he is human like Madiba. Fallacious conclusions will not buy Nigerians in March 2015 because they are braver than you think by making the choice of change, stronger than they seem by having the will to struggle for change and smarter than you think because we are no longer just illiterates to know change.
