The quote below comes from a very interesting movie and I find that it can be applied to Nigeria politics today.

"Every great magic trick consists of three parts or acts.

The first part is called "The Pledge." The magician shows you something ordinary: a deck of cards, a bird, a man, 200 girls, $20bn. He shows you this object. Perhaps he asks you to inspect it to see if it is indeed real, unaltered, normal. But of course... It probably isn't.

The second act is called "The Turn." The magician takes the ordinary something and makes it do something extraordinary (200 girls disappear into a forest for 1 year, $20bn disappears). Now you're looking for the secret... But you won't find it, because of course you're not really looking. You don't really want to know. You want to be fooled. But you wouldn't clap yet. Because making something disappear isn't enough; you have to bring it back.

That's why every magic trick has a third act, the hardest part, the part we call "The Prestige."
Which Jonathan has done with the Chibok girls, and what Buhari gives us the impression that he wants to do with $20bn
