2 Foreigners + 1 Nigerian = Commonsense

I like the spirit and the intent of the commonsense yarns. I have shown that I have been on that train since at least 2006. If we disagree with the man currently anchoring it, it should not be mistaken for disagreement with the vision and the ideal. It is the crass opportunism, inconsistencies, and contradictions of the current commander-in-chief of commonsense that are at issue.

For instance, without disturbing Nigeria's sleep, Wole Soyinka always publishes his Intervention Series books with a Nigerian publishing company.

But you, who have been disturbing our sleep with ‪#‎BuyNaijatoGrowNaija‬, you entitle your own book, A Commonsense Revolution, only to print it in America. Ever heard of Onibonoje Press in Ibadan? They have been around since Ajayi Crowther!

No do no do, your own name, Ben Murray-Bruce, is a minority on the book cover which features a foreign majority of one American and one Britico. No Nigerians could have given you a Foreword?

No do no do, one of your foreworders, Joe Trippi, is a notorious American yam eater, former boss of Reno Omokri, who after crashing Howard Dean's presidential campaign, 'borrowed himself some brain' and realized that he was better off eating yams in Nigeria than working as a political consultant in his own country, the USA. Kia kia, he became a consultant to President Jonathan and the PDP, earned himself the dream identity of every white man in Africa, "expatriate", and began to rake in millions in Abuja. I once wrote an op-ed asking President Jonathan to tell us how much the Nigerian tax payer was paying Joe Trippi for his services.

Dasuki may not be a tribalist because he spread his ATM to every Nigerian ethnic group. However, I suspect he is a racist otherwise we should have heard Joe Trippi's name in the revelations by now. Dasuki probably denied him yams on account of race.

It is this same American yam eater that has been invited to co-write the foreword to a book telling Nigerians to 'borrow' themselves commonsense!

The Nigerian citizen - footmat of the Nigerian elite since 19 gbogboro!
