Why Celebrate a Child Who’s About to Write his Exams... Such Should Come When he Has Written and Passed - Etcetera Writes In Respect to Buhari

Why are we in any way dancing and joyous? Why do we keep rolling out the drums each time we have a new government, only for us to start crying few months down the line again? Is it that we are too quick to forget or we just love to dance? Do you celebrate a child who’s about to write his exams or the one who has written and passed? What is this jubilation for? Because I really don’t understand. Is it that the election of Buhari in itself has suddenly alleviated our sufferings? I am really confused here, hearing how six bikers lost their lives in Zaria celebrating Buhari’s victory.

One would think that a people who have been short-changed for so long by past presidents will know better to be calm and take every word of the new president with a pinch of salt until he proves to be different. This process is becoming an unending circle, again and again we’ve danced and again and again, we’ve cursed and cried at the end.
