IS THIS A JOKE OR AN INSULT?

 


APC and their lying machines will not cease insulting us. Obviously, they are calling us fools.

Let us illustrate what they mean with a short story.

A friend of mine has a son whom he wants to excel academically. To achieve this dream, he hired a private tutor for his son. After the first term, his son took the 30th position in a class of 120 pupils. Since 30th position is far from being the best, he fired the tutor and got another one who promised to take his son to the first position. The slogan of the new tutor was ‘CHANGE’.

After the 2nd term, his son could not even retain his previous poor position, he rather moved 20 steps backward and took the 50th position out of 120.

Out of anger, my friend fired the second tutor and hired another one, who promised to help in bringing out the best in his son, with the slogan of RENEWED HOPE as his mantra.

After a term with the newest tutor, the son got the poorest of results; he took the 107th position out of 120. My friend was enraged and threatened to fire the tutor, but he (the tutor) promised to help the poor son bounce back, blaming his teachers and other factors for the poor result.

A term after, his son moved from 107th to 100th position. Another term, he moved from 100th to 95th position. Then, another term, he moved from 95 to 91, and from 91 to 89 in another term.

Then, one day, the new tutor went to my friend and told him that his son has become the hottest brain and the best performing student in his class because he has moved from 107 to 89. 

If you are this my friend, what will you tell the private tutor?

This is how I see the narrative from the CBN boss when he said, ‘Naira is the best-performing currency in the world’.
