It seems to me like Mr. Yaradua's administration is lacking any wise men and women to advise him about the Latin phrase "Vox Populi, Vox Dei" and for him to do the right thing. May be there are some wise men/women in his administration but were afraid to tell the truth to their boss - perhaps their oath of secrecy include keeping their mouth shut even to their principal, the President, until its too late to redeem himself. In regards to Nigeria's most corrupt and inept, of all the federal government departments, the Nigeria Police's frivolous lawsuit against one of our national heroes because Mr. Ribadu "appeared before Mr. President in plain clothes" seems odd to me. My take from this quote is that, our “Servant Leader” has crowned himself the Emperor of Nigeria to whom we, his lowly subjects must crawl on all fours towards him dressed in sack-cloth with ashes all over our heads and bodies and never looking him in the eyes as we address him as “Your Royal Highness the Emperor Yar Adua” with bowed heads, fealty and awe. What a self delusion in vain grandiocity! But then, "pride comes b4 the fall" as wise as men and women would say.
