Semanticism In Government Circles.Chapter one.

"We have a lot of problem in this country and is not just a challenge of tribalism and corruptions cases but is just due to the fact that informed folks are not in government and the system rewards mediocrity I mean institutional mediocrity not individual mediocrity"

"What makes you to utter such balderdash if i may say?"

"See bad advisers are many in government and not just because the military deteriorated our value system but is just that we celebrate this mediocrity and it is in our DNAs to celebrate this mediocrity."

"You re making me dizzying at my best.Come again?"

"This is I what I mean that let us look at the period 1966 to august 1990 roughly more than two decades Nigeria had only two semantic economists conversant at the corridors.But the moment the last economist exited government naira that was at 5.5naira to the dollar depreciated to 12 naira down to 22 naira to dollar by the time IBB handed over power to Shonekan in 1993.Just a period of three years markedly unveiled the downward trajectory of the exchange rate till date."

"And if I may ask who could that economist be?"

"The Olu of Ilu Abo the great Olu False"

"Oh is now a traditional ruler"

"Yeah because deji of akure had promoted the traditional stool to full obaship."

"So you re saying after obafemi awolowo the greatest economist Nigeria ever have is Olu falae?"

"Oh yes that is why I said semantic economists.Although we have Awolowo,Ojetunji Aboyade,Olu falae,Pius okigbo,Sam Aluko in that other.But downright most pragmatic economists that thrived in practice not in just theory give it to the two.They have done Nigeria proud and within three years all their efforts were messed up and millions and billions of hours of manpower development went up in smoke in the days to leading to June 12 and Nigeria was never the same again."

"You painted a gloomier picture here kind of too scary for anyone to bear and keep his sanity.Explain semanticism."
