Our leaders think merit doesn't count
If merit counted, Demuren would have been retained, for his achievements speak for themselves.
But the tragedy is that our leaders encourage their people to cherish sycophancy, intrigue, the immoral, and the downright unfair, by behaving the way the have. Our people's values, which are wholesome and otherwise enduring, get a beating when such shame occurs. For instance, how many intelligent and patriotic folks will now be willing, after the Demuren affair, to give their best in the service of Nigeria? I think they'll fear being given the Demuren treatment at the end of the day.
And it's sad, it's more BS for the suffering hordes of our people
