NIGERIA ECONOMIC AND POLITICAL SITUATION IS LIKE A TALKING DRUM
As the general populace of Nigeria are anticipating the 2027 election, there is a massive outcry and complain from some quarters about the rising cost of living with lamentation about the prices of food stuffs, building materials, petroleum products, as many households are struggling with renewing their rents.
In some quarters also, the policy of the government is also favouring households whose salaries have been increased with other benefits attached. These groups see the complains about hardship in the Country as criticisms from the other group, while the upper class can easily access mortgage loan to finance their housing projects, the lower class can't continue their home building projects due to the present costs of cement, granite, steel and other items required for quality construction.
Listening to radio programme recently, different callers expressing their views about the economic situation of the country, many expressed satisfaction in the direction of the government, many also expressed frustration comparing the cost of living and purchasing household items in the past government with the present government.
This made me realized the true meaning of Yoruba adage " Oro ile aye ilu gangan ni, ohun to koju si enikan, eyin ni o ko si elomiran"
English interpretation " Life is like a talking drum, what is facing one directly, seems to opposed and back another " Expanding my interpretation of the Chinese YingYang principle and Ifa Ejiogbe perspective, what appears as 6 to Adamu could appear as 9 to Amosun depending on their perspective, environment, conditions, position and reality of life.
While many northerners see President Bola Tinubu as the right candidate to lead Nigeria to the promise land through renewed hope agenda, many southerners also see Alh. Atiku Abubakar as the prophesied Messiah who is to come and lead the country after many failed attempts.
With other groups praying and wishing that Peter Obi emerged in the political contest as the O-K movement manifestoes is also soothing to their ears and okay for the future of the largest concentration of Africans on planet earth.
