There is an old saying exhorting us to "make hay while the sun shines". The
saying comes from farming communities. There would often be only a short
time in which the hay would be ready to cut- reap too soon, and the hay
would be too green. Reap too late, and you run the risk of rain ruining it
all. Still very good advice for this Yar Adua administration who thought
that the world would wait for him and the world economic dynamics would
stop and the price of crude oil would remain as high, indefinitely until
Yar figure out issue #1 (while whistling the ruse of law tune)out of the
seven (7) agenda he promised Nigerians would lead to the attainment of
Vision 20/20. Sorry, the world ecconomy rolls along while we dither and
puff, running in cicles and getting nowhere. Perhaps when crude oil price
falls back to its usual $10 per barrell, Yar would wake up to another $10
Billion foreign debts that would in due course rise up to another $36
Billion debt (a la Shagari-Abacha), then we are back to our old 1999
economic stagnation, if not recession. Way to go, Naija. Under the OBJ's
administration, Nigerian economic growth rate averaged about 9% during his
8 year tenure which is unprecedented in Naija's history. We shall see what
YarAdua's economic growth rate would be in 4 years. OBJ's administration is
the benchmark upon which past, present & future administrations would be
measured. Unfortunately Nigerians lost its greatest oportunity when it
unwisely gave up a proative, result-oriented leader when it doggedly chose
to put mediocrity back in play. You all deserve what you asked
for...Nigerian-shuffle - one step forward, 20 steps backwards.
