SAUDI ARABIA
Scared shitless by falling oil prices Saudi Arabia announced it would be diversifying and moving away from oil-money economy by 2030. That's roughly 12years away from today. Funding this won't be easy so the creative dude at the top felt clamping down on its many super rich citizens will yield real, useful cash. You can't round up billioniares anywhere (even in heaven) and not find a few guys amongest them who got a billion or two illegally. Within 2months the Kingdom has raked in over $100billion! No much fanfare. This bucks is going into its vision 2030 hustle. Just like that.

It may also interest you to know that this raiding spared no one, no matter how powerful or highly connected to the King, by blood or by whatever, they were dragged into the net and stripped of cool cash in a deal that involved forfeiture of real estate or business assets or just raw cash.

The Kingdom didn't go about selling propaganda or making noise about "FIGHTING CORRUPTION" with its sillier morons screaming how their King got appointment in the Arab League as some super anticorruption angel. The Kingdom just did what it needed to do to get itself the bucks needed to move away from oil by 2030. And this, by the single will of a purpose driven leader.

The guy went further. By September 2018 expatriates in the Kingdom will no longer be allowed to work on certain jobs in Saudi Arabia. 12 areas specifically. These jobs will be strictly left for the citizens of the kingdom. No, their unemployment rate isn't anywhere close to what we have in Nigeria. The issue here is the kingdom cannot allow it's citizens idle away while foriegners get all the jobs, no matter how low. No way. And remember, oil is going.

But the highlight of the Saudi king's drive towards pushing the ultra-conservative Kingdom towards brighter lights is the cancellation of free electricity and water for the royal family. The rich Kingdom will no longer be paying electricity and water bills for the royal family. Mind you, this is super rich Saudi Arabia! Everybody starting with the topmost guy is going to chip in something for the desired Change.

Need I start a comparison with Nigeria and it's exaggerated but vacuous claims of "fighting corruption"? Should we compare the much talked about integrity and sense of purposeful leadership of President Buhari against the useful stealth of King Salman? Saudi Arabia's Change is beginning with their man of integrity and purpose, the King and his Royal Household. Not with Saudi citizens.

"Oh, such comparisons are unfair! Saudi Arabia is an absolute monarchy with no recourse to the clogs inherent in a lousy democratic system like ours. Even if Buhari wants to jail the thieves, he can't. Rule of law is delaying his speed."

Sharrap there!
Is it Monarchy that stopped payment of electricity and water bills for the Saudi royals? Is it monarchy that gave the king sense and direction to get things done? How many Nigerians that Buhari should go after (if he trully meant to fight graft) that are as rich and powerful as the billioniares the Saudi guy is dragging about with corruption charges? Does it also require rule of law to cut down on the ostentatious budgetary allocations for spoons, forks, news papers and a State House Clinic nobody uses in Buhari's Aso Rock? How long did it take to haul in ordinary Babachir? Where are the money "recovered", "discovered" and "saved from TSA" and Buhari's frugality so far? Why is the country's debt profile rising if we are "recovering", "saving" and "discovering" so much cash under Buhari? Why is that the more "loopholes" Buhari "plugs", the more funds Superman Custom CG Ali and JAMB remit to Mr. Integrity's care the more Nigeria borrows? How much have we saved and put to use in the more than 2years of Buhari's anti-graft crusade? Remember Saudi Arabia made $106billion in less than 2months -and unlike too-much-noise-but-empty Buhari the king is yet to be appointed "Chief anti-corruption protocol officer" (whatever that nonsense means) anywhere.

Purposeful leadership with drive towards immediate results isn't like maggi in a soup. It's like oil instead. While you can lie about the inclusion of maggi in the soup you can't do same for oil, even to a blind man. We can't continue to be fooled by flowery excuses about "the 16years of PDP" or Buhari's mythical integrity or whatever BS the directionless govt sell to create an impression of progress or movement where there is none. Did I not watch President Buhari tell TVC's Olaoluwa Azeezat that he would rather focus on trains because "how many Nigerians can afford to fly"" when the lady asked if he had any plans of resurrecting the Nigerian Airways? That was his first TV interview or so immediately after he won barely 3yrs ago and today we hear "The FG is bringing back the National Carrier". What direction are we going if not the one of policy sommersualts and abysmal cluelessness?

Save throwing up mischievous stories about rice factories closing in Thailand, yam exportation, rising foreign reserves, nebulous statistics that reflect nothing of the prevailing realities on ground and other bogus claims about power generation (like the one Raji Fashola just dropped on Channels TV on steady power generation by 2038), what exactly has this government achieved WRT to all the noise it made post 2015? Within 2years in power, a common antibiotic like Ciprofloxacin doubled in price, same for common and badly needed ACTs like Lonart DS and Coatem. If it's not self-evident to any right thinking person that nothing good can come out of a government ran by men who within 2years of their term items like Coca-cola, Indomie, salt, garri, palm oil, basic toiletries and paracetamol, PMS just about everything all doubled or nearly doubled in price, then our problem is bigger than getting PVCs, because the usual suspects will do it again and plunge us deeper into oblivion.

If anyone is confused as to what a serious leader does when he sets out to achieve anything against huge odds, a closer look at Saudi Arabia will reveal that here in Nigeria we are trapped in a hypnotic lock by a conman who painfully posses no deep con skills save cheap tricks meant for awestruck kindergartens.
