The master tragedy they sold as master strategist
They told you he was playing 4D chess while the board was on fire.
They called it strategy when the naira collapsed, factories shut down, and food became a luxury.
They called it patience when insecurity spread to roads you used to drive at night without fear.
This is the master tragedy: a government that rebrands failure as genius and expects you to clap.
Look at the pattern.
Every policy announced with fanfare, every โreformโ that only reforms your bank account downward.
Every promise of โshort-term pain for long-term gainโ that somehow never reaches the long-term.
Meanwhile, the people who sold you the plan fly out for medical care, send their kids abroad, and blame you for impatience when you ask why water still isnโt running.
A strategist builds systems that outlive speeches.
A strategist measures success in fewer empty stomachs, safer roads, working hospitals, and lights that stay on.
What we got was press conferences, blame-shifting, and a media machine that spends more on defending failure than fixing it.
Youโre not the problem for noticing.
Theyโre the problem for treating 200 million people like a focus group for their excuses.
If the plan only works in PowerPoint and never in your street, it was never a plan. It was a cover story.
Stop calling it strategy. Call it what it is.
And stop waiting for the tragedy to end itself.
