In the grand theatre of the universe, power obeys laws older than politics. Empires rise when they align with truth, and they fall the moment they attempt to bend reality through illusion. Nigeria today stands at such a cosmic intersection—and President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is moving against the current of history.
Yes, Tinubu is politically intelligent. In cosmic terms, he is a skilled tactician of gravity—pulling institutions, narratives, and loyalties into his orbit. But the universe has never rewarded intelligence that divorces itself from justice. Stars that burn too hot, too arrogantly, eventually collapse under their own weight.
What we are witnessing is not governance driven by reform, but governance driven by narrative engineering—a dangerous attempt to rearrange perception rather than fix reality. When a state begins to outsource its moral authority to foreign PR firms, paying billions not to solve insecurity but to explain it away, the collapse has already begun. The cosmos marks that moment quietly, but decisively.
The so-called Onitsha screwdriver seller narrative did not emerge by accident. In the cosmic language of power, symbols matter. Onitsha is not just a city; it is a star in Nigeria’s commercial constellation. To plant suspicion there is to deliberately destabilize an entire axis of national balance. This is not storytelling—it is weaponised mythology.
And the universe despises false myths.
By subtly redirecting blame toward Igbo Christians, the narrative attempts to rewrite a painful truth: that Nigeria’s insecurity is the product of political failure, selective justice, and moral abdication at the centre. Instead of confronting the blood-soaked soil of Plateau, Benue, Southern Kaduna, and countless forgotten villages, the story bends light away from mass graves and toward imagined conspiracies.
Cosmically speaking, this is fatal.
Because when leaders choose division over truth, they fracture the social atom. They turn neighbours into suspects, victims into villains, and governance into theatre. History shows us—without exception—that such regimes do not endure. They may dominate the sky for a season, but gravity always wins.
President Tinubu is therefore bound to fail, not because of opposition rhetoric, but because he is violating a fundamental law of political physics:
👉 A nation cannot be held together by deception.
Narratives can delay accountability, but they cannot erase reality. You can silence reports, spin foreign headlines, and distract the masses—but the universe keeps records. IDP camps keep records. Graves keep records. Orphans keep records. And eventually, nations remember.
The most dangerous illusion in power is believing that control of the story equals control of destiny. It does not. Destiny answers only to justice.
Tinubu’s project is unsustainable because it feeds on division instead of cohesion, perception instead of protection, power instead of people. Such systems always implode—sometimes slowly, sometimes violently—but always completely.
Nigeria’s crisis is no longer terrestrial; it is cosmic. And in cosmic time, leaders who wage war against truth do not win.
They burn out.
