Queues return as fuel scarcity (real or imagined) returns |
Nero fiddled away, while Rome was
burning. The Jews took the fall.
Those Nigerians who can't find fuel to
buy are the Jews in today's Nigeria. Rumours of fuel price slash
prosper; importers won't import, marketers won't lift. Fuel stations
hoard as black marketers literally and figuratively set the country
on fire. Nero fiddles away. Everyone walks on ice-tin ground.
Somehow, power has dropped and
insecurity is taking a new dimension. Some people even blame it all
on former President, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan.
Many more shades of ‘CHANGE’ loom
and every Nigerian you talk to seems to know what is happening, but
concludes with a helpless look. Throw in the prospect of having
ministers without portfolio! Rome burns.
