"The moral of this story is that Ngozi—whoever the real Ngozi is—knows the truth, which is that Nigeria is "a tale told by an idiot," and manipulable by any dunce. She probably came back for the romance of it all last year, but has since then unveiled herself as being neither whiz-kid nor Queen Amina. In Abuja, she blended with the incompetence, the malfeasance, and the insincerity. The World Bank presidency is certainly no more than instant recognition, for her, that it is time to separate the goats from the (e)scapegoats.
And so, I say, go, Ngo, go. Nigeria was never worth nursing to health, and in nobody can say you didn't spend a few Naira's worth of patriotism. So, shake the sands off your feet, for you have better things to do. Let Nigeria, and all those who believed Nigeria needed you here, watch you swagger into the distance.
Sooner or later, they will understand Washington needs you much more than Abuja or Yola or Sapele. And oh, don't bother to switch off the light; it was never on."
