This is good news. It means that unlike the 3 year old boy who was macheted into a state of coma by Fulani Herdsmen in Benue State over the weekend, Yusuf Buhari will live. It also means that Nigerians have yet again failed to grasp the significance of Yusuf Buhari's case which is that there are two Nigerias: one for the political elite like Buhari and the other for the rest of us. This Yusuf Buhari incident has opened my eyes and revealed a lot about why Nigeria is the way it is. Just a few houses down my street is a private clinic. On the same date that Yusuf had his accident, this clinic urgently needed fuel to run its generator in order to carry out an emergency surgery, but couldn’t find any. Eventually they had to beg around the neighbourhood for fuel and I gave them the last 5 litres I had. Perhaps my sympathy for Yusuf Buhari would have been aroused if he had been providing an essential service (like my neighbourhood clinic) when the accident occurred, but no he wasn’t, rather he was drag racing! At a time when Sarrki, Omenka, Ugenenkwenu, LionDeLeo, Madridgay and other members of the BMC were sweating at filling stations in the hot midday sun like Christmas goats, waiting to buy fuel at 500 naira a litre, Yusuf Buhari was burning up the scarce and precious commodity on meaningless and unproductive drag racing with his friend! Maybe fuel flows through Aso Rock like the River Niger. Maybe Buhari is the immortan Joe of Nigeria. He hoards fuel the same way Immortan Joe hoards water. What is most annoying is how Nigerians have tamely and sheepishly surrendered their right to feel a sense of outrage. That is why we are all expected to pray for Yusuf Buhari, as if his case is like that of a soldier who was wounded in active service at the battle front! I have a right to feel a sense of outrage that Yusuf Buhari can afford to waste fuel stupidly while a hospital that needs it for a far more important purpose cannot obtain it. My only hope now is that Yusuf recovers sufficiently enough to help his 75 year old (or is it 76) father to pack his belongings back to Daura come 2019. |
