Ottawa. Airport. In the lounge.
I make a rich selection from the buffet and
settle approvingly on a French wine. It’s still
three hours to the boarding of that flight to
London and on to homeland.
The plan: enjoy a meal, and settle down to
Frenchwining while mentally visualising the
delivery of my speech, “Hating Nigeria to
Greatness” at Platform 2015 on Independence
Day. Tweak the speech here and there. Envision
the cadence of delivery. Envision stage
management and body movement with Chris
Oyakhilome’s stage practice always a guide. You
see, prosperity Pentecostal Pastors do have
their uses after all. I spend hours watching
Chris Oyakhilome’s videos to learn from his
uses of the stage…
When you have such grandiose pre-flight plans,
do not sit in front of a flatscreen in the lounge.
Your plans will be ruined.
It’s a local TV station. News time. Dominated by
the impending Canadian election. Then they
mention funeral rights for some people who
were killed by a drunk driver. Then the anchor
says that the three contenders for the Prime
Minister position have been weighing in on the
tragic road accident which led to loss of lives.
In Brampton, Ontario, two children and their
grandfather were killed this week by a drunk
driver.
They show footage of Prime Minister Harper
regretting the loss of precious Canadian lives in
the said road accident.
They show footage of the other contestants
mourning.
Everybody is lamenting the loss of lives on the
road and calling for stricter measures against
drunk driving.
I marvel at the Canadian culture of life and
thank God for the privilege of Canada.
But my evening is ruined all the same. The
expensive French wine is now bitter. My food is
now cold. It is going to be a long agonising
flight to London.
Why is Nigeria made differently? Why is the
Nigerian made differently?
So much value for the life of the citizen here in
Canada. Above all differences, these bitter
Canadian political rivals are uniting to value the
life of the Canadian.
A drunk driving incident leading to the loss of
lives is making national news?
Boko Haram will have to kill at least 100
Nigerian babies to make the news these days.
The drunk driver who killed Canadians on the
road will pay. No questions asked.
Make the same guy a Nigerian and try to
prosecute him.
Then you hear:
Is he the first Nigerian to drink and drive? How
many people did he kill self?
Yorubas are worse drunk drivers and nothing
happens to them
Hausas are worse drunk drivers and nothing
happens to them.
Igbos are worse drunk drivers and nothing
happens to them.
Why are you witch hunting him just because he
made a mistake of drinking and driving?
Is it because he is a Christian? Is it because he
is a Muslim?
Go and hug a transformer if you don’t like our
culture. Go and die if you don’t like our
religion.
Even in America and Britain, people sometimes
drink and drive.
Besides, this so-called drunk driver that you
are witch hunting has contributed IMMENSELY
to the development of Nigeria.
You are just a hater for persecuting him.
So I ask my almighty God: who annoyed you
the day you created the Nigerian?
