The recent Ghanaian attack on Nigeria's High Commission in the country is a matter capable of inspiring shock, outrage and unlimited fury. Above all, it is a matter that has put every Nigerian in the shadow of shame due to the disgraceful response of our lifeless president and his walking dead government.
Frankly, it's quite a surprise to see our once great country at such rock bottom level. A giant of the continent whose face is being regularly spit on by much lesser countries like South Africa and Ghana! But the most annoying part is that most of these insults have gone unpunished under this government! In fact, after hundreds of Nigerians had been killed in the so-called rainbow nation, the president of our country shamelessly travelled to South Africa at the summons of the president of that country. In fact, he went there to smile and laugh with the man! As if that was not enough, Ghana has also dedicated herself to harassing and molesting our citizens and their interests in Ghana. In other words, we have become the useless can that everyone kicks about anyhow they like.
But all these are child's play compared to the recent invasion of a building in our High Commission in Ghana's capital. Since the story is still developing, we cannot be very sure about the circumstances surrounding the incident, but the two most shocking parts of the aftermath are the responses of both countries. Ghana has gotten so used to making jest of us and molesting our citizens that their government simply settled for an apology over a presidential phone call! It's like an ant, after injuring the baby of an elephant, decides to lean back in his chair and call the adult elephant to say sorry. Isn't that laughable?
But the most laughable part is the coolness and nonchalance with which our government and president have taken the matter. In fact, our legislature is considering sending a high-powered delegation to Ghana! Disgrace upon insult! The Ghanaian president ought to run down here to tender an official apology in person! We could launch a military invasion on Ghana, you know. But of course, this useless government won't do more than 'condemn' the act and leave it at that. Since other African countries have slapped us and gotten away with it, why won't Ghana feel so unperturbed? Can you blame them for the fact that we have a useless government led by a lifeless president? This is the same Ghana whose citizens we housed and fed when they hit rock bottom just a few decades ago. Suddenly, they have grown so big to be able to knock our head and slap our face without any serious response from us! Haba! The big question, fellow Nigerians, is, who cursed our country??
Tearing and looking into societal and general issues, with special emphasis on the continent of Africa. Challenging you to think deeper than usual and see things in lights of different colors. Straight, blunt talk!
