By Prof. MarkAnthony Nze<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n


\n<\/strong>From Dancing While Nigeria Drowns<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Abuja is not a capital city. It\u2019s a theater of beautifully coordinated deceit. A manicured mirage in the middle of an unraveling nation. The air is clean, the streets are wide, the buildings glisten like imported lies. But beneath the granite and glass lies Nigeria\u2019s most lucrative export: fake promises\u2014Made in Abuja, approved by mediocrity, and distributed nationwide for public consumption.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Every four years, Abuja transforms into a prophecy machine. Politicians, freshly laundered and digitally repackaged, gather to unleash the mother of all miracles: the Manifesto. A sacred text written in the finest calligraphy of deception. It promises everything\u2014free healthcare, uninterrupted power, one million jobs, clean water, flying cars, and maybe even a functioning Nigeria.<\/p>\n

But like all Abuja things, it\u2019s premium fake. High grade. Tested. Trusted. Empty.<\/p>\n

These documents are not meant to be implemented. They are designed to be quoted. In fact, there\u2019s an unspoken rule: if a politician says he will do something in his manifesto, just know it\u2019s the one thing he\u2019s already canceled in his mind. It\u2019s not a to-do list; it\u2019s a to-deceive list.<\/p>\n

You see, Abuja is a lie wrapped in infrastructure. It has working traffic lights, planted flowers, and street signs that lead nowhere. It gives the illusion of order so that visitors forget that just 20 kilometers out, children are learning under mango trees, and women are giving birth on the floor beside expired mosquito nets.<\/p>\n

But within Abuja\u2019s magic walls, nothing is real except the greed.<\/p>\n

Here, senators earn wardrobe allowances big enough to fund a village clinic. Ministers fly privately while public schools can\u2019t afford chalk. Special Advisers have Special Advisers. There are Committees on Committees. Every solution is a new committee. Every scandal is a new spokesperson. And every lie is dressed up in national colors and marched out with military band precision.<\/p>\n

\u201cChange,\u201d they said.
\n\u201cNext Level,\u201d they shouted.
\n\u201cRenewed Hope,\u201d they sang.<\/p>\n

Different packaging, same expired content.<\/p>\n

One governor promised to turn his state into Dubai. Today, even his potholes are in recession. Another claimed he\u2019d provide one meal a day for every school child. Instead, he feeds the media with photos of empty plates and happy children that don\u2019t exist.<\/p>\n

Abuja is where ideas go to die and press releases go to heaven.<\/p>\n

Remember the promise of uninterrupted electricity by 2020? We now have uninterrupted darkness with monthly bills for light we never saw. Remember the \u201cYouth Empowerment\u201d schemes? They empowered a few cousins and renamed the rest. Remember the housing for all? It became housing for none\u2014unless you\u2019re related to someone who plays golf in Asokoro.<\/p>\n

Yet, every cycle, new promises arrive like refurbished laptops from Aliexpress\u2014shiny in pictures, broken on arrival.<\/p>\n

And the people? Oh, the people clap. Not because they believe, but because belief is the only drug left. Hope has become an anesthetic. We line up to receive our dose of delusion, then stagger back into the same poverty with a smile.<\/p>\n

Because in Nigeria, disappointment is not a surprise. It is a ritual.<\/p>\n

You wake up, see a new government project trending, squint your eyes, and say: \u201cE go still spoil.\u201d And 9 times out of 10\u2014you\u2019re right. Bridges collapse before ribbon-cutting. Trains break down before first passengers. Hospitals are commissioned without syringes. It\u2019s not sabotage\u2014it\u2019s strategy. A budget that works too well might accidentally help the poor, and that would be unpatriotic.<\/p>\n

So the fake promises must continue.<\/p>\n

They are Abuja\u2019s export product. Our politicians are the marketers. The masses are the market. The media is the megaphone. And every election season is Black Friday.<\/p>\n

What we need, they say, is patience.<\/p>\n

But we\u2019ve been patient since 1960. How do you ask a man waiting for clean water for over 60 years to be more patient? How do you preach endurance to someone who hasn\u2019t seen salary in 11 months but sees senators driving bulletproof sins?<\/p>\n

Abuja is not short of solutions. It is allergic to sincerity. Every leader knows what to do\u2014they just don\u2019t want to do it. It is easier to promise another flyover than to fix a leaking roof. Easier to tweet plans than to build toilets. Easier to print T-shirts than to create jobs.<\/p>\n

Because in Abuja, printing hope is more profitable than delivering it.<\/p>\n
