Nigeria in Search of a Golden Age?

Nigeria in Search of a Golden Age?

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu wants to return Nigeria to its Golden Age of former times. We would all love that, except it reminds us of Buhari’s promise to revalue the Naira till it becomes at par with the US Dollar. It happened.

In Nigeria times have changed, the needs, the expectations, the conditions of the people far more so.  You retrofit the present onto the past, not the past onto the future. Best of luck. (more…)

And the suggestion of what happens if the cops do nothing? (more…)
