Nigeria’s Afro-beat musician and songwriter, Lagbaja, is a fierce critic of President Goodluck Jonathan’s government. The ‘masked one’ as he is fondly called have always used his Facebook page to criticise the present administration for some of its policies, actions or in-actions.
In a piece he wrote on his page on the social networking site titled, “Deceitful and Visionless Government”, Lagbaja took the special assistant to the president on public affairs, Dr. Doyin Okupe, to the cleaners for his recent comment that Nigeria’s economy cannot support new trains. He also had words for Jonathan’s government too.
Read below:
“Did you hear the latest from Doyin Okupe? Did he really insist that our economy cannot support new trains? At last …it should be clear to doubting Thomases that this government has been lying about its achievements. Now, finally, they have unwittingly admitted that their great railway is a fraud based on outdated and archaic equipment.
His declaration is also clear proof that this government has no business remaining in power. They are incurably deceitful… and they have no idea how to make great things happen. Soon they will lecture us about how Nigeria is too backward for steady electric power.
They do not know how to run a Nation in today’s world. Please… just leave and make space for those who know. Many may be too young to remember that Senate President David Mark also once insisted that mobile phones are not meant for everyone but only for a privileged few
Should we continue to be retrogressed by their lack of vision?
But why does this government lie so blatantly? It is simply because they believe that YOU are a fool! They believe that YOU are unenlightened and unexposed. That YOU are unintelligent, daft and do not know any better. It is time to take control of YOUR own life. True we are not America.. but Algeria has high speed rail, South Africa has high speed rail, Libya is building….Why not Nigeria… the biggest economy in Africa? Or is “the biggest economy” another lie?
Mumu enough!”
Last month, Lagbaja opined that Jonathan does not have the ability to rule the country and he went ahead to advise Nigerians to help the president leave office with dignity."
