Femi Adesina, a Special Adviser
on Media and Publicity to President Muhammadu Buhari, has accused some
Nigerians of ‘cutting themselves with stones’ over the country’s exit from
recession.
Adesina said while many Nigerians
were happy that the country had overcome its first recession in 25 years,
others were busy denting the air with hate speeches.
The presidential spokesman in a
Facebook post on Saturday wondered why those Nigerians were always “in the gall
of bitterness and bondage of,” never expecting anything good to happen to the
country.
“Some people spend their lifetime
expecting thunderstorms and hurricanes, so they never enjoy showers of
blessing. Their addled minds expect negative news, so they never enjoy good
tidings. Restructuring, restructuring, that is what such minds need.
“It (Nigeria’s exit from
recession) was cheery news for majority of Nigerians, save for those in the
gall of bitterness. They spat in the sky, and collected the spittle with their
faces. Who gave Nigeria the permission to exit recession? Who gave her the
audacity of hope?
“How can the economy attempt to
rebound, when it should sink deeper and deeper into the miry clay? They were in
the doldrums, unhappy because good news came for the country.
“The party in power is not my
own, so why should Nigeria make progress under it? They, therefore, throw all
sorts of tantrums and attempt to rubbish the news on exit from recession. Left
to them, they wish that when NBS releases results for the next quarter, Nigeria
should have gone back into recession. Filthy dreamers! Awful imaginations!
“When they speak hateful words,
they speak their native language, their mother tongue. Don’t mind the elevated
offices they occupy now, or which they have occupied in the past. They are in
the throes, in the paroxysms of bitterness. Only a restructuring of the mind
can save them.
“So loud is the cacophony of
voices over restructuring that if you ask 100 people what they mean, they give
you 100 different explanations.
“However, is political
restructuring the most urgent thing Nigeria needs now? I don’t think so.
“For me, what is more urgent is
the restructuring of the Nigerian mind. A mind that sees the country as one,
that believes that we have a future and a hope, that believes that we are one
people under God.”

Femi Daesina, you're hard at work to do the bidding of your principal but remember that the chips of your words falling from overhead will blind you so you won't see your escape route when the boulder falling from on high will smash you into smithereens. It's only a matter of time.
