A smart Professor friend of mine once asked, "where is Nigeria?" In order to understand where Nigeria is, I responded by painting an allegorical picture of what happened to Nigeria. Check it out below:
Several
pythons that danced from the Doden Barracks to Aso Rock for several years left
the socio-economic & political ecosystems of Nigeria in ruins. Those
pythons continued their catastrophic dancing from the Northern Savannah to the
Rain & Mangrove forests of the South. The sad story is that as they
danced, their audience clapped in rhythm as they sang... As they danced, they swallowed the resources meant for the sustenance of other species of organisms and their progeny. Unfortunately, as some organisms were trying to escape the ravaged ecosystem, they became economic migrants and were eaten up by the torrid sands of the Sahara desert, others were swallowed by the raging tempest of the Mediterranean sea; while the survived ones were sold as cheap as $400 at Libya.
The pathetic aspect is that the supposedly
ecological successions that took place in the Nigerian socio-economic and political ecosystem were nothing else but same pythons and
their descendants masquerading as harmless creatures, claiming to be on a
mission to restore an ecosystem whose integrity has been long compromised
"beyond repair". Oh...from where would that ameliorative glimmer of
hope come from to assuage this perturbed ecosystem?
Yeah!! I concur..... let the eagles arise and defeat these pythons.

You are welcome bro.
ReplyDeleteNice write up Prof. Agwunobi. We are those eagles that need to rise and salvage the Nigerian ecosystem from the so-called pythons. Yes, we can do it.

ReplyDeleteYeah Dr. Auta, it is imperative for the eagles to arise!
