In Nigeria, the surest path to immortality is perfidy. Nigeria, a land that devours its inhabitants, also walks on its head. When the head is used in walking, knocking against pebbles, metals and wood, chances are that a vein or two or more will burst open in the head and flood the brain with blood. This is what the Yoruba call eje ta si opolo. It’s only an upside-down fatherland with a blood-flooded brain that can still have public institutions named after the late General Sani Abacha and his predecessor, General Ibrahim Babangida. .
Going by the amount of money he stole and stashed abroad, Abacha must have been assured by some genie that he would live forever, snuggling his head on the bosoms of some Indian beauties. It’s only a country walking on its head that can canonise corruption by naming the Kano Stadium after the bloody general from Kano. Before he kicked the bucket, Abacha got the highest national honour in the land, the Grand Commander of the Federal Republic.
