The title of this piece is a poser triggered by a blunt remark by Mr. Godwin Obaseki, the formidable political arch-rival of a former Edo State Governor and immediate past Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Adams Oshiomhole. Obaseki, the incumbent Governor of Edo State, at a recent event blurted: “We are in trouble!”
Obaseki adduced a reason: that the country is enmeshed deeply in a financial quagmire. According to him, Nigeria’s oil marketers should not celebrate the increase in the price of crude oil, especially in the international market, for the expected benefits could be an illusion.

Nigeria’s President Muhammadu Buhari embarked on a trip to London for medical check-up less than 48 hours before the country’s doctors went on strike. It is Buhari’s first medical trip outside the country since the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic and lockdowns across the globe which hindered many African politicians and elites from flying to Europe, India, or the United States for medical aid.
The Nigerian President’s medical trip has attracted several condemnations from citizens who feel that Mr. Buhari is a nonchalant ruler who abandoned medical doctors whose salaries have not been paid – leaving millions Nigerians without access to medical treatment from April 1 as doctors commenced a nationwide strike. An issue which has made many Nigerian citizens described President Buhari as “Insensitive and Irresponsible”.
