@elaig_john @General_Somto Even if he is pretending, his pretense will favour Nigerians. Its so sad that we make it hard for him while unreliable people are getting the job so easily

[BLESSED 🥷 @Dee_9889]

As long as Nigerians are in IDP camps, every one of us is living in an IDP camp.
This is my 12th IDP camp. The President has not set foot in a single one.

Silence greeted my proposal.

When I got up to ease myself, I noticed that a member of the parent board, who attended the Nigerian board meetings only occasionally, followed me.

In the toilet, Dr Peter Frerk told me he had a confession to make.

The impression they had been given in Germany, he said, was that the Nigerians in the company were not particularly smart, but were generally lazy pilferers of company goods, working in a plant that had more coconut trees than cars foreign-exchange allocations allowed it to assemble.

Then he said something that stayed with me.

My proposal was brilliant.

But there was a problem.

With Nigeria’s borders repeatedly closing after coups, Germany could not safely depend on a Nigerian plant for components needed in its global production chain.

It galled me.

But I could not ignore the larger lesson.

The government had refused for years to respond to the joint venture’s second capital call. I had eventually used my personal friendship with the then Industries Minister, AVM Mohammed Yahaya, to get the ministry to issue a cheque, rather than waiting for the official government shareholder, Ministry of Finance Incorporated, to act.

Frerk also reminded me that Germany had become so frustrated with the joint venture that, by the time I joined, it was trying to persuade Mandilas to buy them out.

John Mandilas was not particularly interested.

We returned to the meeting.

But I kept thinking about Kowit.

Thailand had experienced coup after coup too. Yet coups alone could not explain the difference.

They mattered, certainly. But Thailand had also benefited from elite consensus and the unifying role of the monarchy.

Kowit went home and played his part.

I went home too.

In 1982, the very day my doctoral dissertation was accepted, I left without even waiting to collect the bound copies. My friend Folu Ogundimu collected them and kept them until I returned months later for commencement.

But on that long flight across the Atlantic, I made a pledge to the Big Man in the heavens.

I knew I would spend much of my life criticising what was wrong with society.

But I did not want to become merely an iconoclast.

I did not want to be the intellectual who could diagnose every problem but build nothing.

I prayed for the grace to do something, however small, to leave an impact for good in everything I criticised.

That prayer has produced a forty-year trail of activity.

Programmes for poor widows.

Youth and leadership development.

Television programmes that have run for 22 years and counting.

Academic work across several disciplines.

Entrepreneurship initiatives across different sectors of the economy.

It has been a long journey.

Sometimes, it leaves you feeling strangely alone and lonely in a crowd.

Because while you are trying to build, others are still dismantling.

While you are trying to create possibilities, they are busy stealing them.

And perhaps that is the deepest pain of this long Nigerian journey.

It is not merely that they stole opportunities from a country.

They kept their knees on the neck of possibility itself, pressing down on the lives we might have lived and the nation we might have built.
