Transformation 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.
Transformation 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 transformed, hence no pot holes.
Transformation 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.
Transformation is not restricted to acquiring a foreign degree as a prerequisite for local jobs, transformation entails having a Nigerian degree that allows us international access to all job opportunities.
Transformation transcends deregulating the importation of petroleum products to convert a renowned cabal into a cartel who will collude againts the people, 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.
Transformation should not be about a brazen mother of foreign based family but being a gratified mother of humble if need be unemployed Nigerians men to diffuse the circular flow of national income.
Transformation 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 woman who should be determined to right the ills of failures of government institutions as a first step towards making amends.
Transformation is not about being the agent of a western capitalist institutions, the price mechanism has failed Europe and America and has become a mathematics of random uncertainty.
Transformation is not disappointing the electorate who voted a patient luck only to be rewarded in such a terrible and inhuamn manner, it is about people's power.
We are patriotic even if untransformed Nigerians. We pay our taxes and we can show the world our pay slips. Madam ‘World bank’; 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. Can you please drop your dual nationality? All we have are our National ID cards. But our National Identity has been transformed by hunger, excess fuel burden, 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 and now that you are deregulating?
Do you pay PHCN utility bills?
No! Madam Minister, it is a fib.
Remove those spectacles and stop fibbing
