Wow...Nigeria hasn't changed much since I started this right up, has it? Well, one thing did change, the CBN governor. I have been part of a very long discourse (comments) on FB on this particular change...the Northern Agenda was what somewhat described it. Whilst I am not a subscriber to religious or ethnic sentiments, I cannot but frown and show my disgust and disappointment at the total bias and insincerity defined in the new governor's appointment.
Whilst some would lay claim to Lamido Sanusi being qualified given the fact that he was at the head of perhaps the biggest bank in Nigeria prior to his appointment, I did remind them that he was there for barely six months. I ma also likely to remind the supporters of the appointment that Sanusi's pedigree and vitae is not the most impressive with perhaps his biggest achievement being Risk and Credit control head at UBA. You may want to compare this to the history of past governors of the CBN, more importantly, those of them that have left an indelible mark on the face of the financial industry in our darling country.
In a country as sensitive, diverse, disgruntled and differential as Nigeria, in an environment streaming with excessive intellectual talent, I cannot explain a situation whereby the head of the Economic team, Finance Minister and CBN governor are from a single state. Whilst I am not very open to tribal or religious sentiments, I am a full-breed student of the realism school of thought. How do I explain this kind of executive recklessness, or do I say carelessness, it can only be defined as a definite maneuver by the high echelons of Arewa leadership.
I am passionate about this country, extremely so, I believe Nigeria remains a land of opportunities...a blessed country. Therefore, I cry out to the executive to stop the blantant political rape and abuse of the polity.
