feeling … and smell . The moment ’ s hesitation before our hands fly to confirm our fears is the peak of our ‘ self belief ’ before we come crashing down to the harsh reality beneath the sheets . Macintosh or not ! The beginning of yet another strategic journey . We wish we could rewind the last few minutes , but this is life , it hits you hard , fast , and when you least expect it , remind me again what fair play is all about ? We as Nigerians are all throbbing , wailing , perpetual , over-size diaper wearing bedwetters . refused to accept . They remind you that just like a little child , you can wake up tomorrow and its all gone , the foundations , walls , everything . This uncertainty is how they make money , how we make money too , it is what jolts us awake every morning and keeps us on our toes . From artists , to professionals , to criminals . No one is left behind . Sadly , this same reason is why we Nigerians as a whole in the next few years will most likely select a familiar face , from a familiar party , to lead us to yet familiar results . Because we are all bedwetters .
You wake up one morning and find that your shop But let ’ s not forget that uncertainty , like in Sabo in gone , razed down the previous night , a celebrity marriage you previously admired is shattered , like a bottle of sweet wine before you could fetch a glass , an obscure everyday building holds more than the net worth of nations combined , the little being playing in your front yard might be the next big thing , and you are being owed over three months basic salary . It is this uncertainty that economists , banks , financial advisers and insurance agencies use , they slide it in inconspicuously while they throw technical jargon about . In their ads , billboards , and tag lines . Hidden in plain sight . It sticks , it is a feeling familiar , you grew up with it , a part of your nature , an innate culture that you have long bedwetting is an integral part of us , whatever we do . So let ’ s stop doing the same things and do something different , start something new and learn something previously unknown . Because Change is change , and Uncertainty is constant . The only way to predict the future is to prepare for it , regardless of our bedwetting past but not forgetting our damp foundations . The next time you have that sinking feeling of control , probably after a hard successful days work and just before you go to bed . Remember , WE ARE ALL BEDWETTERS
