TRAVAILS OF THE MENTALLY COLONIZED QUISLINGS
By Saint-Olawale Jimoh

 One African adage says the eyes of the frogs cannot prevent sheep from drinking water from the river. We cannot because of the vituperations of the disappointed progressives close our eyes to abnormalities and allow it continue unaddressed. A good number of right and forward-thinking Nigerians have succeeded in making enemies for themselves for hitting the nails on the head especially on issues that widely acknowledged bright minds shied away from meddling into.
 I know a couple of disgruntled facebook friends who quietly unfriend me based on my posts and quite vividly, I remember a former classmate whom we both attended Olabisi Onabanjo University and Gateway Petro-Gas Institute who told me he hated me after I authored an article titled, `THE TRUTH THESE PROGRESSIVES NEVER TOLD BUHARI` shortly after the general elections. Today, the company he works for is closing down already because it depends largely on importation for its raw materials which the government he tirelessly fought for practically made impossible.
  Up till now only the unrepentant Buharists, majority of whom are here in the Southwest  believe a he-goat can be milked. They sold him to us. They promised us what Buhari himself never assured them. With massive deployment of propaganda mercenaries, they forced their candidate down our throat and it worked. When the story of how we got here would be written, they will not be forgotten. Regrettably, they haven't given up. They are still bragging..
   Few months ago, someone shared a story on this medium about how his neighbour, a die-hard supporter of this APC-led government was ready to fight anyone who dare criticize this regime. He lived in Ogun State. First, he lost his job because the company he worked for couldn't survive under this harsh economic condition.
Again, his first son who wrote the last WAEC couldn't get his result because Amosun was owing WAEC at the tιмє and as such forfeited his admission into the higher institution of his choice for that period and to make matter worse, his two other children who he withdrew from private schools to public schools were sent back home because of school fees which were a little lesser than what they paid in private schools. Interestingly, this man still fought a neighbour while defending Buhari in the evening of same ∂αy his children were sent back home.
   All around us, there are people like this and if уσυ are unfortunate enough to engage them intellectually, уσυ will begin to imagine at what point in tιмe did their God-given, well wired brain cells get replaced with sawdust. While we daily struggle to adapt to the changes this government has got to offer us, some of our leaders from Southwest have again started campaigning and promoting another Northern candidate (a former national leader whose tenure in office was characterised with imbalances and corruption) to continue from 2019. This is democracy, they're free to make their choices but today's action is tomorrow's history and as I earlier mentioned, when the story of how we got into this mess would be written, their names shall be remembered!
