[quote author=sammhi post=48938966] I should be ashamed of yourself U were elected to fix. Infact , you made those promises . No one forced or demanded them from ApC . In any case, now that you have found out I can't do the job u promised, then QUIT!! [You need no medication to cure your cluelessness because it has reached level of no turn around. Even it's beyond any fire packed prayer.GEJ is truly your hero and curse.] |

"IN MONTHS TO COME, A TOYOTA CAMRY
WOULD BE OFFERED FOR N50.000 JUST TO
FEED THE FAMILY
In 1984, just months after the military takeover
by General Buhari, the country ground to a halt;
just like today! He came with the same song-
and-dance: THEY ARE CORRUPT!!
In a matter of months, mothers were selling
their jewellery to send their children to school.
Thieves were stealing food at gun point, just
like today.
Within months, there simply was NO FOOD. The
government gathered the little there was and
restricted purchases.
Whether you were 100 or ONE in your family,
every household had a card with which they
went to military manned cooperatives to
purchase rationed, “essential commodities”.
These included Rice, Beans, Yam, Bread, Milk,
Sugar, and so on. Everything was rationed. It
was war-time in peace-time!! Nigeria became
like Somalia.
We lived like refugees.
And of course, a lot of children were simply
pulled out of schools because feeding was
priority number ONE! Going to school became a
luxury, even for middle class families.
And ANDREWS & JANES started checking out.
People suddenly remembered they had British
and American passports, and simply left the
country!
Those who are not aware of all these, ask
anyone who was born on or before 1984. They
should be old enough to remember. It was that
harrowing.
The most baffling aspect of all this was that,
the people he said were corrupt and stealing,
were presiding over an economy where the
Naira was 1:1 with the US Dollar, and N2 to £1
Sterling!
An economy where we were buying Volkswagen
Beetle at N400 from Volkswagen of Nigeria. An
economy where my entire family, all 7 of us,
travelled for summer hols on tickets purchased
for N280 and BTA of N400 (official – we
managed to sneak more out for shopping naaa)
.
An economy where everything was robust and
vibrant and growing. Then a man comes in and
says he took over because people were corrupt
and he needed to sanitise things.
In a matter of months, the Dollar was N15 and
the Sterling was N40. A VW Beetle sold for
N8,000 (up from N400) and that N8,000 simply
was not available anywhere!
Children dropped out of school, businesses
closed, parents became destitute, food was
NOT available and we queued for rations at
cooperatives like refugees in a warring
country!!!
Fast forward to 2015!! The same man comes
with the same song-and-dance.
We tried to remind our peers and elders of
those days, and we tried to educate the
younger ones.
However, the wind of change, that wind that
always tells us that the grass is greener on the
other side, deafened them all!
And once again, within months, everything that
happened in 1984 and 1985 – EVERYTHING –
is all being repeated.
I have just come from a home where my
friends have owed two terms’ school fees. They
have just made the difficult decision to leave
Abuja, relocate back to their village and take the
two younger children out of school, at least
temporarily.
The older boy will stay with friends and they
will use the savings on rent and the likes to try
and get him across the line (WAEC).
Feeding is now a major task. Infact, people are
complaining of their kitchens and farms being
raided for food – DAILY!!
Yet again, this is happening just months after
Buhari takes over with screams of corruption
and stealing.
Corruption and stealing, yet that my family
friend who was not corrupt, not stealing and
not anywhere close to the corridors of power
was paying his rent, feeding his family and
sending all three children to school.
Corruption and stealing yet businesses were
opening daily, economy was vibrant, people
were healthy, GDP was growing and so on!
In 1985, we were rescued by IBB and
Dogonyaro. Immediately, people experienced a
reversal.
Within a very short time, the cooperatives
closed, food became abundant again, the Naira
stabilised, mothers stopped selling their
jewellery, and so on. It makes one wonder!
If there were no reference points, Buharists may
claim that “if only he had been president”, but
the mid-80s proved that the worst period in
Nigeria’s history were the 20-odd months he
was in power, sandwiched between two periods
of plenty and growth.
Therefore, they cannot bring the argument that
today’s sufferings and impoverishment were the
fault of the past regime – because we will
counter with “TAKE HIM OUT NOW LIKE IBB
DID IN 1985 AND SEE IF BY THIS CHRISTMAS,
YOU WILL NOT BE SMILING AGAIN.
Someone told me today that he predicts that by
this Xmas or next Easter at the latest, a person
will come and offer a Toyota Camry in
exchange for N50,000, just so that his family
can eat and make merry over the holidays!!
Nigerians simply don't refer to history! And I
have run out of every single drop of sympathy
in my body.
SO, LIKE I SAID BEFORE, KEEP STEWING IN
YOUR BROTH. MAYBE NEXT TIME YOU WILL
SHELVE PARTISANSHIP, TRIBALISM,
ETHNICISM, RELIGIOUS BIGOTRY, HATRED,
INTEREST AND ALL THAT – 7 Likes 1 Share |
