In fact, many Nigerians see in this recent Ebola issue, opportunities to make money, fast money, not to solve people’s problem. It is the same attitude we had towards our terrorism problem – which is still ongoing. Nigerians are a mean bunch aren’t they?
When I argued with a few colleagues on Thursday that no one was in any laboratory anywhere in Nigeria, or perhaps West Africa, trying to culture this virus, and assiduously seeking antidotes or vaccines, they argued back, in the ‘hope’ that someone somewhere was working on something. But it has never happened that way.
Say, what vaccines have we discovered here in Africa? We are hoping and waiting that the US will assist us with their magic serum. Okay, I admit that the conspiracy theory is strong, but hey, sometimes I pity us Africans. We are totally defenceless, either against concocted plots or those that happen naturally.
...
We are badgered on all sides with problems. We have been exploited along ethnic and religious lines by politicians whom I believe understand that they are leading us to destruction.
They must have golden parachutes to take them out of the mess they created.
