There is something obviously unique about governments in Nigeria since 1999. Whatever the party or the individual at the helms of affairs, they are usually exceptionally very slow and sluggish in taking action. Former Presidents Olusegun Obasanjo's administration was sluggish to action during the Bakassi brouhaha that almost made the affected people to be stateless. Musa Yar'adua almost lost the lifeline of the nation's economy before he granted amnesty to the Niger Delta militants and Goodluck Jonathan took considerable time to buckle up and chase after the Boko Haram insurgents that abducted Chibok girls. Of course, there is no contesting the issue with President Muhammadu Buhari's government because from inception, the people chose to describe his style as "Baba go slow". It never provoked him to speed up action. Instead, he honoured himself with a 'medal' for being very sluggish in taking action when he admitted that the slow pace allows for no mistake.
No matter the situation, whether it is life-or-death related, this government must drag its feet and wait until everybody is complaining about the issue. Therefore, it was becoming impossible to remain silent and watch helplessly as corruption tears the nation apart. It is disheartening to note that Nigeria's political leaders are so thrilled with power and the pecks of office that they lose focus and allow the people to suffer in penury. Consequently, the 'oracles' decided to broke the silence and as always speak truth to power.
