It seems
there is hardly anything Nigerians do that do not attract fanfare, even
if it’s shameless and outlandish. Lagos-Ibadan Expressway is a peculiar
road in the country because it is very busy. It has been connected with
several contracts, many of them have failed while many more lives have
been lost. Presidents, ministers and even lawyers have boasted to see
the road extended and the accidents cut down, but fanfare is all we see.
Even when a naija oga visited the road for a publicity stunt, fanfare
that can only compare with a carnival greeted his arrival. Trust
politicians to be the first comers. But they didn’t come alone; they
came with banners and crews with voices loud enough to distract the
visiting oga.
Aprokokos best carnival group award…and
the award goes to the group of a former minister blessed enough to serve
in more than four ministries. His group made the loudest, most
irritating noise at the Lagos Ibadan carnival.
