NO! MADAM MINISTER;IT IS FIB

CredoWriters:Wakdok,Samuel Stephen

Rebranding is more than wearing smuggled ankara and telling pauperized citizens white lies behind a TV camera, which is powered by generators with fuel procured from black markets. It should be about gilded in Made in Nigeria textile fabrics and speaking the truth on behalf of millions of voiceless Nigerians.

Rebranding is not riding in foreign made jeeps to escape the impacts of our potholed embellished roads; it is about driving in Nigerian manufactured cabbies without feeling the fissures because the roads are themselves rebranded, hence no pot holes.

Rebranding is not having foreign construction firms building their own embassies in Nigeria and also building our own embassies in their countries, It is having Nigerian world class building and construction firms excelling anywhere in the world.

Rebranding is not restricted to acquiring a foreign degree as a prerequisite for local jobs, rebranding entails having a Nigerian degree that allows us international access to all job opportunities.

Rebranding transcends deregulating the importation of petroleum products to shoot a renowned cabal out of business; it is promoting local content drive to establish transparency and accountability. It is ensuring adequate local production and refining capacity to meet domestic need and achieve exportation of finished goods.

Rebranding should not be about a brazen mother-in-law of foreign men but being a gratified mother-in-law of humble if need be unemployed Nigerian men to diffuse the circular flow of national income.

Rebranding is beyond destroying fake drugs and running abroad to treat mere headache or food poison. Rebranding is having first class Nigerian hospitals to treat general and sophisticated ailments, coupled with magnificent indigenous drug manufacturing companies

Rebranding is not the cowardice of placing responsibilities on the doors of Nigerians while giving flimsy excuses for the miscarriage of governance, it ought to be the remorse of a government spokeswoman who is determined to right the ills of failures of government institutions as a first step towards making amends.

Rebranding is not the mouthpiece of a few parasites in power, propaganda failed woefully to win Hitler the Second World War. Rebranding is standing up as a patriot on the side of country and truth.

Rebranding is not the sanctimonious rigging of elections with imported electoral materials; it should be the reverence of conducting people driven elections where winners are elected not selected or imposed.

We are patriotic even if unbranded Nigerians. We pay our taxes and we can show the world our pay slips. Madam ‘Rebrandress’; can we please see your pay slip? We are so Nigerian that we have no International Passports since we do not envisage fleeing Nigeria after our ministerial tenures like El-Rufai et al. Can you please drop your dual nationality? All we have are our National ID cards. But our National Identity has been rebranded by hunger, fuel queues, potholes, strikes, insecurity and unemployment.

Madam Minister, nonetheless tell yourself the truth if not your employer or the tax payers. Do you still drink pipe borne water?

Do you eat local rice?

Do you pay for your fuel while it is still un-deregulated?

Do you pay PHCN utility bills?

No! Madam Minister, it is a fib.

Remove those spectacles and stop fibbing.
