The City Boy Of Abegistan, by Ugoji Egbujo, <\/p>\n

A coalition of big-time hustlers has\u00a0christened itself a movement.\u00a0Their motivation is thinly veiled. They will\u00a0 channel their aggression toward the re-election of President Bola Tinubu. To dress up the enterprise, they chose a catchy name. Tinubu became \u201cCity Boy.\u201d Pa Tinubu will surely welcome any residual boyishness young people can credit him with now. The city he often claims to have built is a sprawling, chaotic metropolis where over 60% of residents live in slums. The City Boy Movement is, therefore, an all-round conundrum.<\/p>\n

In a sense, the name fits perfectly. Without make-believe and irony, it wouldn\u2019t capture the essence of the cohort. A group of young men whose wealth\u2014its scale and sources\u2014never ceases to astonish has coalesced to champion a president who has squandered his term, unwilling or unable to confront the corruption and insecurity ravaging the land. These notice-me philanthropists, with their penchant for lavish exhibitionism, will soon descend on the streets in gleaming motorcades, doling out handouts to entice the hungry masses. Their conspicuous sybaritism will\u00a0 be the proof that the president has banished poverty.<\/p>\n

They won\u2019t encounter revulsion on those streets. Too many are too hungry to care. The opposition appears anaemic, lethargic and jaded. Democracy has raised hopes only to shatter them. The line between roguery and enterprise has blurred in the fog of hopelessness. When a band of sons of Sceva hits the streets to peddle their counterfeit gospel, the people will collect the morsels and dance in adulation. When daily survival becomes the sole objective, civic responsibility turns onerous\u2014even abstract, too remote for humdrum existence. So The City Boy Movement, with all its\u00a0 contradictions,\u00a0 has\u00a0 perhaps arrived at\u00a0 the right time, in precisely the right place.<\/p>\n

They remind me of the peripatetic luxury-bus patent-medicine dealers. The bus doctors begin with prayers. The uninitiated mistake them for pastors. Dressed in suits, briefcases in hand, they belt out soulful choruses to calm nerves as the bus lurches onto treacherous highways. After speaking in tongues and collecting offerings for God, they unveil first the multivitamins. Then antibiotics , after some enchanting\u00a0 mumbojumbo in microbiology.\u00a0 They might toss candy to a crying child or two. <\/p>\n

After painting clinical symptoms in the most grotesque terms to stoke anxiety, they brandish wonder drugs that promise to cure every ailment known to man. Passengers who never intended to buy anything empty their wallets. Once they have\u00a0 squeezed out the last drop of cash, they offer a final prayer for their \u201cvictims\u201d and hop off the bus like city boys. All the gospel, humanity, and love are abandoned inside the bus\u00a0 like a discarded rag as they hurry to the next prey. Despite such naked charlatanism, these fake healers rarely face outright revulsion. The people are too credulous, too distrustful of orthodox medicine, too superstitious, too forgiving.<\/p>\n

Perhaps 45 years ago, when Dubai was not yet a thing, Tinubu could have been a genuine city boy. Fresh from Chicago, Lagos then ranked closer to today\u2019s livable cities. But he prefers to paint Jakande\u2019s Lagos as a jungle\u2014so he can pose as a magician akin to Dubai\u2019s emir. Neither hyperbole nor stark irony fazes these folks. His wife even believes he has outgrown \u201carchitect of modern Lagos\u201d to become \u201carchitect of modern Nigeria.\u201d The audacity of the City Boy Movement\u2019s founders is easy to trace.<\/p>\n

\u2018Modern Nigeria\u2019 has grown too harsh for its youth. Those who can flee are fleeing. Taboos, morality, and spirituality have retreated to the back seat. Those who remain have embraced survival with hands and teeth. The land is ruled by permissiveness. \u201cBy all means\u201d is the reigning philosophy. Hard work is no longer seen as smart. Some choose yahoo-yahoo. Others dive into politics. Still others enter the\u00a0 church business. Even law enforcement has become a lucrative route out of poverty, with officers competing fiercely with businessmen. Nigeria has scattered its children, seeding them with inordinate ambitions across every endeavor. Nothing has been left\u00a0 unbastardized. Thugs have been used to chase away an ethnic group from the polling booths. The City Boy Movement looks like the next level. The flamboyant injection of mercenary instincts into political entrepreneurship.<\/p>\n

Tinubu promised to transform electricity generation and distribution. His first term nears its close, yet average available power hovers around 4,000 MW. About 10% of what South Africa or Egypt distribute. His political strategy is clear: subsume major opposition parties into the ruling APC to forge a one-party-dominant state. But his electric power roadmap remains hazy. Because of the chronic shortages, other African countries, including the poorest of them ,\u00a0 mock Nigeria as the \u201cGenerator Republic.\u201d Perhaps the City Boy Movement will gift the masses a few feeble Chinese generators and torchlights\u00a0 to prove that the president has transformed the power sector and stabilized the foreign exchange rate.<\/p>\n

To stem ravaging hunger, Tinubu did not boost food production or secure farms. Not even paying off and pampering bandits has worked. With a flair for spectacle over substance, he leaned on food importation. We recall \u201cOperation Feed the Nation\u201d<\/p>\n

At least it was a stirring slogan. Tinubu\u2019s predecessor\u2019s import-substitution efforts have been forgotten. To soothe those impoverished by subsidy removal, the government turned to cash transfers and food handouts. This has deepened the\u00a0 institutionalization of a worrying\u00a0 \u00a0begging culture. Everyone is on the lookout for a handout. The horde swarming cars in congested traffic . Policemen on the roads and in stations. Traditional rulers on their thrones. Even airport officials , performing critical security duties,\u00a0 have turned abject\u00a0 beggars. Other Africans now refer to Nigeria as\u00a0 \u00a0\u201dAbegistan.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

The City Boy Movement will surely distribute bags of rice. Vote buying has become rampant. Hopefully, they proceed with caution. Their agbata-eke enthusiasm risks provoking more mockery from our\u00a0 bemused African\u00a0 neighbors who are already sneering at our wanton wastefulness, begging culture, handouts,\u00a0 economic hardship and electoral malpractice.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

My great grandmother disliked city people. People who flaunted \u2018the city\u2019 .\u00a0 She said they talked too much,\u00a0 told too many lies, and lived fake lives . She said the best place to store their promises was a perforated bag. She had no contact with peripatetic bus doctors and NADECO\u00a0 prodemocracy activists.\u00a0 God, abeg<\/p>\n
