The Sleeping Victors by Onyekaba Chioma

Nigeria is becoming a very interesting country especially with its newly found way of gaining international and local popularity without studying or even practising theatre arts. Day in, day out,  I see so many beautiful reasons why I can't help but be proud to be a part of this generation and also a Nigerian.

The recent scene that played out at the NASS yesterday seems to just be the prologue as I am expecting the climax of this creative work of art to unfold soon. The lucky, major actors of this particular best seller movie of our time i.e the APC and the PDP,  will never cease to keep this very stage alive with a lot of beautiful lessons for upcoming politicians and I applaud them for their great display of talents...

I have come to so much appreciate the law of gravity ever since the Democracy coup of 28th March, 2015 played out which is why it didn't surprise me that indeed what goes around must come around in this circle called earth. Most times when people are spoken to in proverbs they tend to think that the interpretations are the same as pronounced, therefore leading them to neglect the true meaning and I think this is why many have taken this proverb 'pride comes before a fall' very meaningless or rather baseless. I wonder what one who steps on other people's toes on his way up expects from them on his way down- a hug I guess?  Lol!

When our people say that,  'it is only the person wearing a shoe that knows where it aches most'  it is mainly because they understand that the effect of the pain from the shoe cannot be felt by another who isn't wearing that shoe'. From afar some people thought that leading a complex country as Nigeria would be the case of moi-moi and akara but today I guess if they have the chance to make a U-turn or even be sincere with themselves then they would be talking about how tough their problems just became and how they wish they hadn't bothered so much about it.

The APC have indeed been taught a bitter lesson for their immaturity and over-confidence in a game where they were yet to master certain rules from their predecessors of sixteen years despite the fact that they are surrounded with graduates of this sixteen years old game of only masters.

My happiness is the mere fact that Tinubu's plan of pocketing Nigeria has met its water loo... If the APC was as smart and as confident as they have tried to prove in the last few months then they would have read the hand-writing on the walls earlier before Tuesday. Well,  they slept Victoriously without a plan B should in case this adversaries  attack at night and so it wasn't surprising to me when they woke up and ended up loosers .

How come on the 8th of May during the mock elections it didn't dawn on them on time that, despite the fact that they had 60 senators elect against 49 owned by the PDP,  that  the presence of only 33 of their members at the mock elections for Senator Lawan was meant to be a thing of great concern for them?  Anyway, this is the prize those who sleep on duty get for not been vigilant.  I keep my fingers Crossed.
