Dele Momodu has fir3d back at Reno Omokri by asking him what happened to him that he felt the need to always defend many of the atro3ious policies of TInubu’s government. All the economic ratings you quoted have no meaning in Nigeria of today.
He further said When did Reno become a born again Tinubuist that he has forcefully taken over the jobs of Ajuri and Onanuga combined. Otherwise, he would have known the difference between economics and ECONOMY. Economics deals mainly with textbook theories while the ECONOMY deals with the practical and realistic conditions of the people on day to day basis. All the economic ratings quoted by Reno have no meaning in Nigeria of today. No textbook can envisage or assuage the unprecedented hunger and suffering of Nigerians. Our country is haemorrhaging to de@th while pseudo economists are regaling us with an over-romanticized magic of IMF/World Bank.
What enablers like Reno and company are doing by their blind support for a government that needs honest TRUTH is reminiscent of the story of Marie-Antoinette, the bride of King Louis XVI, who told the lumpen proletariat in France to eat cake if bread is too expensive for them. In her majestic delusion of grandeur and provocative ignorance, the Queen did not know that bread and cake are of the same origin and that the latter is actually more expensive. What happened next? REVOLUTION swept away most members of the French privilegentsia. Today, Nigerians are substituting tomatoes with watermelon to cook food.
I will never wish such e il to befall Nigeria, my dear beloved country, but prevention is oftentimes better than cure. I pray President Tinubu will somehow arrest this obvious drift towards perdition.
