To say Nigeria is sitting on many fault lines is an understatement.
Every passing day we tend to get more divided despite many calls to mend
fences, and get along as a truly united country. But then, even the much talked
about ‘unity’ is said to have been an old scam meant to hold a particular part
of the country, hostage.
The country is wrapped in secrecy so much that our
current struggles as a nation, feels justifiable. But truth they say, no matter
how long it’s buried, will surely come out. And that’s exactly what Nigeria is
current experiencing.
Side talks aside, our old folks are finally beginning to
spill the beans albeit subtly. We’ve had the likes of Obasanjo, Babangida and
Gowon speak on national issues more often than usual, but the latest to send
ripples across the social media space is General Theophilus Danjuma who is
heavily part of Nigeria’s chaotic history especially during the military era.
The former defense minister while speaking on Thursday, at a book
presentation marking the 70th anniversary of the Nigerian Tribune, said
Nigerians are in a ‘big hole as a nation,’ and that President Muhammadu Buhari
is not here to rule the country, but rather, ‘dominate us’.
Danjuma also said, nobody in the country would sleep, if
he should reveal startling secrets about what is happening in Nigeria. This
particular statement by the retired General, caught the attention of many
Nigerians, and Senator Shehu Sani wants to know what’s kept in the wraps by the
former military General.
Sani in a reaction on Twitter, called on Danjuma to ‘spill the
‘ordourous, putrid Beans’ and let the country burn if it may, rather than
keeping secrets while the country suffers.
He said, “Dear Baba Gen TY,spill the ordourous,putrid
Beans so that the snoring slumberland ‘will be awakened’ by the insomnia of its
truth and of its reality.”
Meanwhile,
Danjuma challenged the Southwest to not allow themselves be cowed by the Buhari
administration. He said: “In Yorubaland, everybody seems to have lost their
voice, scared. And people appear not to care about what is happening. If I tell
you what I know that is happening in Nigeria today, you will no longer sleep”.
