This is one sentence that is rampant in Nigeria under PDP government, "yes, it is possible". It has become the response of the, helpless, gullible and those that have fallen to deceit. It started with fair stories to weird stories and then incredible stories. Imagine, a man was eating Amala and ewedu soup and suddenly he swallowed a razor blade and died, "yes, it is possible". Then, another man died and we were told, he was eating fufu and agbono soup and suddenly, he swallowed a knife.
"Yes, it is possible". Isn’t it, the knife may have fallen into the soup when it was being cooked. Now, the other man died and we heard he was drinking a cup of coffee and suddenly swallowed a pistol. "Yes, it is possible". The coffee may have been prepared by a soldier and his pistol fell inside the coffee while preparing it. Isn’t it possible? Surely, it is in Nigeria.
Fuel subsidy increased from #600 billion in 2010 to #2.7 trillion in 2011 an election year. "Yes, it is possible". Our population may have quadrupled that year. A handcuffed and hungry Boko harram suspect dispossessed an SSS official who came to feed him of his pistol and took over the entire SSS headquarters with the pistol causing a jail break.
