The King is Naked.....Nigeria as a case study!

A foolish king, who was trying to be smart, was approached by certain business men who proposed to sow him a Royal robe to be worn on a special day. The dress was to be sown in a special room within the Palace, where no man except the Chiefs, the King and the wise men in the Kingdom could enter.

While sowing the robe, the King and his Chiefs could not see any material or anything that was being used in sowing the robe but each time they complained, the businessmen would tell the King and the Chiefs that look at the robe now, it's only wise men that can see it, as it is very special. Funny enough, the King and the Chiefs trying to avoid being tagged foolish, would pretend to see the robe while foolishly rejoicing they were wise.

The d-day finally arrived for the King to put on the Royal robe, go round the town and market square, yet there was no robe seen. The King asked the businessmen that where is the robe, and they answered here sir, as only wise men could see the robe. The King still pretending to be wise quickly agreed he saw the invisible robe, and was then asked to put on the Royal robe, being instructed to remove everything he had on, as the robe has everything needed, including under wears.

The King agreed and removed everything he had on, put on the Royal, invisible robe and began to walk to the market square. The Chiefs who were the first to see the King before moving out, saw the State of the King but pretended all was well in order not to be tagged foolish and allowed the King to step out in the Royal invisible robe.

Everyone that saw the state of the King refused to acknowledge the reality as it stared them in the face, but pretended all was well with the King in a bid to be seen as being wise, until the King walked into the market square.

At the market square, a little boy who was amazed at the State of a whole King of his kingdom, was the only one who could not pretend to be wise but shouted...... The King is naked, the King is naked, the king is naked. At this time, the King ran frantically back to the Palace, trying to use his hands to cover his nakedness but it was too late, as the King and the Chiefs could no longer continue to pretend all was well.

Hmmmmmm, Nigeria my Country, our King is naked, our leaders pretending to be wise are as foolish as these Chiefs, the Youths pretending all is well are too brainwashed to speak out, the adults are too preoccupied with their complacency that they see nothing wrong in shouting and condemning the trend, this change is taking.

We are eagerly waiting for the children to shout the King is naked before we take actions.
