Citizen Fatigue.

My good friend (and Buhari’s not so good friend) Bayo described the deafening silence trailing the kidnapping of NYSC members in Rivers State as Citizen fatigue. The realization that such things (failed state symptoms) are now normal. As you can notice from the frequency of my posting, I too

One Happy Customer: War Against Corruption Indeed!

I am actually not annoyed. I did not expect different. The only think that irritates me is the fact educated Nigerians believe under the very same terrible conditions that put us where we are, things will just magically become different.
