BEWARE: PROF. OSINBAJO PLEASE DON'T BELIEVE THE HYPE AND SYCOPHANTS.
We have started again on our usual itinerary of national praise singing a nuisance and political demagoguery that never lead us anywhere near our ambition for national rebirth Socio-economic and politically speaking, rather what is noticeable in our Socio-economic and political historiography are errors of self-aggrandisement carved in solid blocks of sycophancy and hyped paradigms in attribution of successes in governance to an individual rather than the institutions, processes and bureaucracies working in a symbiotic relationships in bringing about those achievements perceivable.
A sculptor is summoned and the woodpecker shows up... A farmer does not boast that he has had a good harvest until his stock of yams lasts till the following harvest season... I leave the interpretation to my readers.
Professor Osinbajo our acting president has garnered unintentionally a coteries of sycophants or obsequious flatterers in recent days repeatedly marketing the semblance of progress recorded while the president is in London as a personal triumph of Osinbajo's technocratic astuteness cum dexterousness as a lawyer. Some people even went as far as ascribing Holy ghost anointing or miraculousness of being a Pastor as evidential in relation to the semblance of successes achieved uhm!!! what that means I cannot understand. However, I am flabbergasted with the fact that the same people who are now praise singing Osinbajo were the same Alagbe who went to town crying loudly for everyone who cares to listen that the Economic team headed by the VP is incompetent and that they were proffering disjointed socio-economic policies for the country. Aaha!!!
It is important to point to the fact that the same people went as far as advising the president @Mbuhari to sack his Economic team and replace them with Pat Utomi, Oby Ezekwesili, and Donald Duke thereby presenting us with their own disjointed analyses in respect of those individuals who they hope have the ultimate panacea solution-wise to our economic woes. This is ridiculous, ridiculous indeed.
My question here is what has changed since @Mbuhari left for London and from credible information available to me the composition of the Economic team has not changed drastically. Furthermore, there is no policy thrust presented to the public in recent times by Osinbajo that @Mbuhari does not have a foreknowledge of, so where is the chest thumping of these sycophants coming from when they should have known that governance and those who constitute government work in symbiosis to achieve any given result.
As acting president can Osinbajo unilaterally starts any government programmes or policies and discussions without deliberations with the president @Mbuhari and the executive council? I do not think that is the way government works, so the answer is emphatic No. Therefore. those ascribing absolute commendation to Osinbajo for recent development are mischief makers, demagogues, leeches and parasites who do not understand the internal workings of government they are more concern with their own economic survival and those of their politically exposed friends.
They are one of the reasons why we have failed as a nation because of their characteristic penchant for hyping individuals over and above organizational structures broadly speaking forgetting the adage that A single tree cannot make a forest.
This attitude is a reflection of our medieval mindset saturated with hero worshipping, sycophancy and stage managed hype wherein we get over-excited about every little semblance of progress in governance. These ubiquitous sycophants are like prostitutes ready to go to bed with every Tom, Dick and Harry they are ''professional'' adopting rigorous methodology of praise singing and chaupnalism as philosophy we often see them align with any political party or individuals gaining momentum, flexibility is their internal combustion engine because they have no allegiance predicated on principles.
Professor Osinbajo should be wary of praise singers they are like shadow you see them when there is a flicker or reflection of light and hope only to disappear when the sun goes down. Please don't let the sun goes down on you. (Apologies to George Michael)
