Fellow Nigerians, please don't hang me yet or whatever. I watched the closing act of President Jacob Zuma's midnight massacre. It was long past midnight Nigerian time, in short almost 2.00am in Pretoria, when I saw the new South African ministers being sworn in. Zuma didn't look exactly overjoyed but he maintained a dignified presence.
Now that embattled Finance Minister, Pravin Gordhan has been let go, would it not be a good idea if we Nigerians borrowed him briefly, say for 24months. After all he is available. It is on record that foreigners have run British Steel and the UK Central Bank. Hence mine is not exactly a landmark proposal.
Having turned our backs on all our homegrown prophets, Henry Boyo, Odilim Enwegbara to name just a few, we may be left with no other option than to farm out our financial and economic management. Was it not the Buhari administration that proudly announced to the populace that, "We don't need an Economic Management Team."? What else can one say?
