Whenever buharimaniacs led by the Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, boast garrulously about the economic blueprint of this government and throw around numbers purporting to show that the policies are working, I wonder whether they are living in a fantasy island far removed from the harsh realities facing ordinary people like myself.

Some simplistic fellow Nigerians quite often naively assume that persons who are nominated for awards in the country may have achieved a lot. It is not always so. Even our national honours award lost its credibility long ago when government started allocating figures to certain institutions and positions like governors, top legislators and ministers instead of outstanding citizens.

Sometimes some governors who failed to pay workers’ salaries are honoured while some other honourees have had to walk into EFCC cells a few months after their lavishly published awards.
