OLU ALLEN: “There is a pattern we must stop pretending not to see. Every time the president travels, Nigeria performs a ritual—not of statecraft, but of subservience. They line up. Governors. Ministers. Political loyalists. At the airport. Waiting to exchange a fleeting handshake on the tarmac. Then, with a mathematical predictability, some of the same faces reappear on foreign soil—thousands of miles away—waiting to welcome the man they just saw off.”
