NORTH MEETS SOUTH: IF YOU ARE DONE READING, KINDLY WAKE ME UP!

#WETINweSABI

A.A. Rano is a Kano indigene who is in the business of petroleum product retailing. He has his stations across several cities in Nigeria. He has decided to sell fuel at all his stations at N107 pl. We have crude oil in the Niger Delta, three refineries and yet there has never been a time in recent history where fuel has ever sold at normal price.

Why are our people so shrewd and materialistic?

The cost of bridging from Warri to Kano can not be the same with Warri to environs, yet fuel is cheaper up north than in the Niger delta or south east.

Watin we sabi? Who is fooling who?

We call them aboki, yet they run oil retail business. We say they are illiterates, yet they run commerce better. Ask Nestle, ask Lever Brothers, ask Dangote.

We say they know nothing, yet an average northerner is politically savvy more conscious than we are. While we kill ourselves for elective position, they calmly accept power as the gift of God.

Watin we thin say we know?

Dangote is a Kano businessman, he's building refinery in Lagos. What have we done with the crude we lay so much claim to? Instead of us to help government in alleviating our environment, we endanger it the more by vandalism. Yet armchair activist don't see through the insanity.

Wetin we sabi sef.

Check the madness in the corruption bazaar. Who tops the list of bandits, that conspire to raped Nigeria economy? The northerners will likely accept guilt for pillaging the nation, the man in the south will connive with some occultic SAN to plead innocence over a daylight robbery.

Wetin we sabi set?

What is worst than thinking you have a PhD as a southerner and yet oversee the massive degradation of our value and economy, while the northerner with a school certificate is making meaning for our life.

Wetin we sabi self?

Why must we inflict backwardness on ourselves and blame the north for it. We claim superior knowledge, laughing at the northerner for been shoe shiners, nail cutters, wood hewers, okada riders, yet they know all the nook and crannies of our towns and villages satisfied with their daily bread, while we complain at every situation.

Wetin we sabi?

They believe that God gives, bless and take or deny at His appointed, but we believe nothing happens without the hands of witches and wizards.

Wetin we sabi?

E don do, before my BP high for the plenty nonsense wey dey happen for my people.
A.A.Rano, May God bless you for showing us the way...
