Analysis of Naira Change
Nyene-Ime Sunday Nkana 1979 (Lagos)
When lies bring people together, truth will eventually separate them.
APC has led arguably the most discredited government in human history.
Incredibly, Nigerians, like diamonds, coalesce under the forces that seek to subjugate them and repeatedly saddle themselves subordinate to these gunslingers.
Under unbelievable pressure, they toil, hoping they will someday shine.
A lump of coal awaiting eons to change.
