Quite recently an astonishing statement credited to president Shagari has given some publicity in Nigeria and Abroad.
According to the media the formal President said words to the effect that there was corruption in Nigeria but that it had not yet reached alarming proportions.
My frank and honest opinion is that anybody who say that corruption in Nigeria has not yet become alarming is either a fool,crook or else he is going deaf like "PMB".
Goodluck is neither a fool nor a crook. So i must assume that he lives abroad. Which is not strange or fanciful as some might think. Many Presidents, especially Third World President, do not live in their country.One of the penalties of exalted power is loneliness. Harnessed to the trappings of protocol and blockaded by a buffer of grinnings of courtiers and sycophants, even a good and intelligent leaders will gradually begin to forget what the real world looks like.
When a president of Nigeria sets out to see things for himself, what does he actually see? Failure
