"I have gone hoarse shouting that both positions strike me as dead-ends. I feel deeply astonished when anybody essays to persuade the public that President Jonathan has done, or is doing, something known as "transformation." I feel an equal measure of exasperation when former military head of state, Buhari, is proposed as the answer. Answer to what, exactly?
The dominance of the two least attractive parties in Nigeria's political landscape says something about a troubling trait among that broad class of Nigerians to whom the identifier "elite" could be applied. For the avoidance of doubt, in case anybody think this is a case of self-exculpation, I count myself in that group. The Nigerian "elite" is, I propose, one of the most pitiful, mentally lazy such sub-group to be found anywhere. They are, as the American street lingo would say, a "sorry-assed lot.""

Okey, may your tribe increase. This gift of yours should be read by every young Nigerian whose present and future have been looted and stolen by our generation of looters and unprincipled intellectuals! Instead of bleating, "Sai Buhari" at those who raped your dreams, you should be chanting, "Say what???" and chasing the APC and PDP down the streets with pitchforks! You don't owe them anything. They owe you. Man up and stop being grateful to your traducers! Stop listening to yeye Public intellectuals. Many of them are paid to lull you to zombie-dom with their bull crap. Wake up. Read Okey. And think. For yourself.
Please share his piece. Please!
