Our Moments Of Angst

OUR nation is now a big theatre where farcical actions and events take place at a pulsating pace. And, keeping up with the tempo of the outlandish dramas that have grotesquely assailed our sensibilities has not been easy. The totality of the bizarre storyline centres on the recoveries by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, of monies believed to be part of our looted commonwealth by some former and, possibly, serving government officials. The EFCC has, in dramatic fashions, been recovering huge sums of monies from unusual places, far away from the strong rooms or vaults of banking institutions, purportedly on the prompting of some whistle blowers. So dramatic have the locations- airport, market, isolated air- conditioned bungalow- and the magnitudes of the discoveries been that they have elicited equally dramatic reactions from different quarters.
