Like King Nebuchadnezzar, Tagwireyi now struts with pride, parading his allies and mocking those who once held power, daring them to act ‘saka muchaita sei.’ But history warns us: Nebuchadnezzar built an empire in gold, praised himself as untouchable, until heaven humbled him. Tagwireyi, too, seems to forget power is lent, not owned. And when pride rises above wisdom, the fall is never far behind.
