After 50 years of independence and over $700 billion in oil revenue that offered us the time and resources to become a "top dog" in the comity of nation, we have to depend on a foreign nation to unravel the bomb blasts which have shaken the marshy foundation of a fraudulent  nation called Nigeria.

No military intelligence capacity! No police intelligence capacity! No forensics capability! No robust fingerprint system! No criminal profile capability!Yet we have a police, army and intelligence force with billions of naira allocation every year and twice in stolen and misappropriated funds.

Do we need anybody to tell us that Nigeria is an accident of history and would never become. The answer is NO! Time rendered the verdict 40 years ago, January, 1970!

I love the phenomenon called "Time"

"Time" according to William Shakespeare, " is the justice that examines all offenders.”

"Time" according to Senaca  "discovers truth.”

"Time" according to  Aeschylus ," brings all things to pass"

"Time" according to Yevgeny Yevtushenko, "has a way of demonstrating that the most stubborn are the most intelligent".

"Time" according to  Delmore Schwartz, " is the fire in which we burn".

"Time" according to Lord Bryon,  "is the corrector when our judgments err".

"Time" according to Astrid Alauda,  "is the only thief we can't get justice against".

" Time" according to Louis Hector Berlioz " is a great teacher, but unfortunately it kills all its pupils".

" Time" according to Shakespeare , " unfold what plighted cunning hides">

And most important of all, l love Time on Ojukwu: Time has rendered the verdict that Lt.Col. Ojukwu of the defunct Eastern Nigeria, "the power hungry maniac , coward and secessionist who  deceived his people into war and massacred over 1 million in  a war they never could have won", is the only real McCoy of Nigerian National Question.

Good post, but I think your point about our dependence on foreigners and foreign ideas will be best made if you use wisdom from our own concept of time

Some Yoruba-Irunmole Adage:

"Time" "Bi iro ba lo l'ogun odun, Ojo kan looto a ba" - regardless of how much time falsehood prospers, the infallible truth will catch up with it in one single day"


"Time" "Igba laso, Igba lewu, Igba loderee-koko n'Ilorin" - {meaning} Everything in it's proper time and season [even the fate of Nigeria]

I'll welcome more. . .
