If it takes a whole minute to produce a fool in America, then Nigeria must be bringing them in at the rate of one a second. Nigerian politicians operate on the Barnum principle. Depending on who is dishing out the false dream, most Nigerians will believe anything.
Trust politicians and their creative advisers. Every time governments fail to deliver on their most important promises to the nation, they invent a magical future to divert attention from the poor results. Invariably, only the most discerning people can recognize the switch from reality to illusion. The vast majority of my Fellow citizens swallow the deception hook, line and sinker.
