One who talks (not necessarily being a Seer) but speaks the truth, does not just voice out his words to be put in the dustbin (Asoro ṣẹ, ki soro danu), so goes a Yoruba proverb.
My message tonight, as usual, is one of those that no one, no matter how powerful, should just throw aside with a wave of hands. The reason being that the greatest warning of catastrophe hardly come from the top, but always from those we regard as nobodies.
This is because *every devastating war usually starts from just mere street songs and it normally also foretell the end before the trouble starts. Unfortunately, it is always like how the ignorance of a powerful man's pomposity goes before his fall. (Orin lon siwaju oote, igberaga lon pa akikanju).*
Today, Nigeria as a nation and Nigerians as citizens are under the yoke deliberately put on them by the oil cabals; from those in government, which NNPCL represents and those whose interests they front for including their foreign and internal collaborators known as the Major Oil Marketers (MOMs) and their colleagues referred to as the Independent Oil Marketers (IOMs).
I just want to let them know that the clock is ticking and Nigerians are now becoming impatient and terribly angry to decisively confront them headlong. For years, despite their very minute number compared to the population of our country's angry and suffering masses, they have been cooking for us and we have been consuming their unpleasant meals for decades, but the time seems no longer to be on their side to continue on that misadventure and believe me, it is only a matter of weeks before the time bomb they are sitting on would explode.
Nigerians have now seen clearly and have identified their common enemies and no matter any meaning(s) anyone may give to this timely advice/post, the truth remains that if the cabal refused to put on a reverse gear at this critical time, I can personally bet that none of them would be able to survive the inferno they are gradually igniting.
Nigerians have now seen the reasons why the rehabilitation of the NNPLC refineries in Port Harcourt, Warri and Kaduna have been frustrated and now clearly noticed why Dangote Refinery too is also been equally frustrated, just because of the myopic interests of a few who for decades have held us all in the jugular so as to continue to maintain their financial status quo ante on the alter of our collective suffering.
Reading from Mr. Femi Otedola's congratulatory message to Mallam Dangote few hours after the later came on National Television that his company was now ready to safe us from agelong fuel scarcity and high price menace, I have no doubt that Mr Otedols as an insider in the oil business meant every word and advice he uttered in that memorable congratulatory remarks to his friend and co-business mugul.
I can recall that one of Otedola's admonitions is that those whose major business is centred on importation of PMS (Petrol) to Nigeria should as fast as possible sell their jetties and depots as scraps and to begin to think of a different business to do, as a new dawn is now here in Nigeria.
Between then and now, we have all read a lot of reports of accusations and counter accusations coming from both the cabal through their NNPLC crony and Dangote Group of Companies on the price, unreadiness of the Marketers just to ensure that Nigeria and Nigerians remain their perpetual slaves.
Of course, Nigerians are not surprised that the oil cabals re putting up this last fight because they have enjoyed free monies and unmerited benefits from their rent-seeking adventures for decades, just as we know that it won't be easy to take the meat from the mouth of a mice without resistance. But let me warn them that the time is up and Nigerians are ready than ever before to take their destinies in their hands and no amount of underhand tactics can stop them this time around.
Enough is enough and let the rats among them in the cities tell those in the caves that the time is not just up but that the consequences of their past bad behaviours would soon be revenged. They are the ones who have much to lose and not the Nigerian people because without them the country would move on and wax stronger when they must have been decisively dealt with in so many ways and without pointing to those several ways, which are known to them, I believe they will quickly reset their brains now before it is too late to reverse the hands of the clock.
I stop at that for now though as usual, I am just thinking aloud ooo, but I have a firm believe that someone somewhere who had read this, would say it loudly in the public that truly, a Nigerian had said it ahead that, to be forware warned is to before armed!
Wishing all a blessed and blissful week ahead.
