{VIEWPOINT} No be juju be that?
By UCHE DIALA
How difficult is it to call what is good good and what is bad bad, and in so doing, assist the government and by extension ourselves, fellow citizens and the nation.
I still cannot wrap my head around why some of our fellow citizens, even supposedly educated ones, can’t comprehend something simple.
I can understand how supporting and defending any and everything, good or bad, sensible or not, done by the government qualifies as support.

For the umpteenth time, there is nothing wrong with borrowing. So long as it done responsibly and for productive reasons. No sensible person, business or government borrows for the fun of it or because others are borrowing.
It is tragic that the same people who joined their demigods to castigate Buhari for borrowing (even though they “supported Buhari for 8 years”), even though they know what Buhari did with the borrowed funds, and who hailed this administration when it (naively) said in 2024 that it won’t borrow are the ones now mindlessly defending the same administration for going against its own words and now borrowing recklessly, contrary to what Buhari did. No be juju be that? Where is the shame?
That is exactly the point and the reason many intelligent Nigerians with conscience and common sense abandoned the administration. The double speak, mischief, deciet, insensitivity and incompetence.
It will take something of a lacerated conscience, acute loss of optimal brain function, aggravated hypocrisy and sycophancy, and chronic ignorance and shameless to continue to support and defend it all.
Maybe these folks can not read and comprehend written English. Here, I help then with a little insight by Senator Ali Ndume who knows because of the position he occupies. Maybe they can watch and listen and get it, although I have no confidence that they would.
Whether they do or not, Nigeria belongs to all of us. No one, whether a leader or a self enslaved or entrapped person, should use their reggae to spoil our collective blues. We have no other nation. If we allow them to use either their greed, arrogance or incompetence to spoil it for us, we have no where to run to, unlike them.
Our mumu suppose don do, nah. Haba!!
